Congressman John Lewis officially switches to Obama!!!

[Renew Deal]

WASHINGTON -- Georgia Congressman John Lewis told WSB-TV Channel 2's Monica Pearson Wednesday that he is switching his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama.

Pearson met with Congressman John Lewis Wednesday afternoon in Washington. She was the only Atlanta TV reporter Lewis spoke to about his switch.

Talk had been swirling that Lewis might switch his endorsement from Clinton to Obama. Lewis is a superdelegate who will cast his ballot at the Democratic National Convention.

Lewis told Pearson he was switching his support because his district voted for Obama and he believes Americans are looking for a great change. He also said he had not spoken to Clinton or Obama about his decision.

This is a huge endorsement for Obama. Also, this is a switcher so it's worth +2 for Obama. With Dorgan, Obama is +3 so far today.

6. It counts just as much

People don't like Hillary. A few endorsed her because they thought she was inevitable. That didn't work out.

8. Before he saw who was the

better candidate..everyone thought she was so inevitable. But, Super Delegates can change their mind.

13. so, you would say the same thing to an Obama SD that switched to Clinton?

LOL!

(not that there ARE any)

sour, sour sour grapes ....

18. It's called changing your mind.

If nobody could change their mind what would be the point of even having a campaign? That's the beauty of Obama's campaign. The more people get to know him the more they like him and the more likely they are to switch their support to him.
