Obama picks up a former Clinton super-del
Breaking News: Thomas backs Obama
You heard it here first. Council member and newly-elected superdelegate Harry Thomas Jr., initially a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is announcing in minutes that he will cast his vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver for Sen. Barack Obama.

Thomas received more than 100 phone calls and e-mails from constituents who feared that he would use his power as a superdelegate to vote for Clinton despite the city's overwhelming support of Obama in the Potomac Primary.

"After meeting with the candidates and listening to my constituents, I have to honor the 83 percent who support Barack Obama," he said in an interview, referring to the results of the Democratic primary.

Thomas will make the announcement at 10 p.m. at a debate watch party.

Remember, with Hillary, if you're not voting for her, you don't matter. :rofl:

3. She's alienating everyone.

She's alienating everyone. What a stupid shit she is.

That's not the kind of leader I want in the WH or the role model I want for my daughter.

15. I was referring to how the op had mistakenly posted this topic in GD,
and how efficiently the Magistrate was doing his job.

6. That's it folks ask nicely. Let's try to be as gracious as Obama too. All votes welcome.

All we have to do is write our most inspirational letters to SDs why we feel they should support Obama the truth reaches us.

8. Great!
Hillary is clearly losing it big time. I don't know who she is anymore, I'm not sure now, if I ever did.

10. Super! Wonder if Harry Thomas was
glad he could use his constituents as a reason? Although, he did say "after meeting with the candidates", too:)

18. WAIT A MINUTE!!! I thought the idea was that Hillary was going to steal delegates away?
She's doing it all wrong.
