Another defection, this one to Clinton's camp

by Christi Parsons

Okay, we said we wouldn't tell you every time there was another Democratic defection.

But it seems worth noting that supporters aren't just flipping from supporting Hillary Clinton to backing Barack Obama.

Today, the Clinton campaign announced that El Paso County Commissioner and former Barack Obama supporter Veronica Escobar has switched her support to Clinton.

According to a release from the Clinton camp:

The announcement follows a Latino Decisions Texas Poll that shows Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama by 62% to 21% among registered Hispanic voters in Texas.

“While I initially liked Barack Obama," Escobar says in the release, "I am supporting Hillary Clinton because it is clear that she is the one candidate who will truly fight for our communities as president."

Clearly, this fight is still on.

3. I don't really know except from what I read on Burnt Orange Report.

And on DU, of course. But there seems to be lots of enthusiasm and the donations are pouring in. It's great to see!

2. SD?

The fight is not on.

4. "SD?"

Sounds more like just local support.

If she was a SD the Clinton camp would be all over the news about it.
