The drip continues: Obama recieves fourth superdelegate within 24 hours.
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 12:36 AM by mckeown1128
Well, this is a nice suprise... everyone was upset that this guy "tricked" his way in... but...


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.
