Lewis needs to be sent home.........he guessed wrong....really, big time wrong.
Americans deserve progressive thinkers, and Lewis is still pulling out pics of MLK, when there is a contemporary leader in Barack Obama.

Extend that argument and ask is there something wrong with whites voting against Obama because he is black? It could be repression. On the other hand we can use the same argument and as is there something wrong with whites voting for Hillary because she's white or females voting for her because she is female. You would think we could rise above conduct like this. Hell, as long as we don't vote republican, I guess its okay....

no in this day and age it's ok to commit yourself to someone and then break the commitment. Heck we do it everyday to partners in business, we do it to partners in marriage why not in politics.....but if Obama would not have ran, Clinton would have been ok.....you know what I say, typicla black, typical american......

GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT

African Americans granted to vote in 1870

Women granted to vote in 1920

YOUR POST IS OFFENSIVE AND RACIST

Why do you dismiss this as a race thing, instead of the fact that Hillary is going to be out of the race by next in the near future?

He's NOT doing this to fulfill King's dream or further diversity at the highest ranks in government. He's doing this for the same reason he initially endorsed Senator Clinton: political self-interest! He has been a mentor and father-figure to Senator Obama. When he endorsed Senator Clinton, Senator Obama told him, "if feels like a father stabbing me in the back." And it was. He should have stayed neutral, but instead he thought that Senator Obama's chances were small at best--because he's Black. How is that championing civil rights? It's not. He's like most civil rights leaders of that time: out of step and out of touch. African Americans have transcended the pulpit, and Americans as a whole no longer look at us from such a limited prism.

This site has censors that wipe most comments that are not pro-obama. It is a lot like Fox News now. Spin and lies are the norm.

"demonizing a white woman?" who......her husband? Give me a break....however, if you wish to show your own personal racism...this is a free country. Also, McCain will appreciate your vote I'm sure...you and yours..LOL

Yes, Evolin. You've certainly convinced me that the HuffPost is desperately trying to keep the public from discovering that you and your extended family are switching parties if Obama is nominated. They want to prevent a mass defection of Obama supporters. I for one will vote for McCain, now that I know that you and your family are making such a brave move.

Your entry was posted, by the way. I guess they didn't want Time Magazine to get the scoop.

Exactly what have the Clintons done for the "black community" that balances out their support of NAFTA and the War on Drugs, which imprisoned African-American males at record levels for non-violent drug offenses?

I REALLY want to see your answer to this question.

You keep harping on the Clintons being "civil rights" crusaders, but civil rights is about a lot more than showing up at a black church and having an office in Harlem.

Tell me exactly what makes up for Clintons support of NAFTA and a record prison population.

What the hell have the Clintons done for the African American community? White folks kill me with giving undue credit to other White folks for attending ceremonies, Black churches or merely hanging around with some Black folks. The Clintons have NOT done anymore than the average White Democrat for civil rights.

And St. Obama doesn't !!
Is that what you are implying??
Just wait until the Republican machine produces their "dirt" on Obama and his wif's writings.

I will NEVER jump on this hysterical wave of Obamamania.

"Obama would help the Black people in this country?" How are those streets of Chicago doing today since the great Obama left? I don't know what that guy was smoking but it sure as hell must be good. Obama has done everything in his power to distance himself from controversial issues pertaining to Black america. Jenna 6, Katrina, NAACP, State of The Black Union Forum. If it was "To Black" Obama stayed back. He will not do a damn thing for the Black community and all they will have, if he manages to become the next president, is a symbol in the white house and that's it. The Clinton administration done more for the black community than any modern day black leader.

So how do you explain the white superdelegates who are changing their votes?

the demo left is leading the democratic party to a mccain landslide this will be like 1972 mccovern ....

Lewis is an American hero and like many is sick of the race baiting tactics of Billary and her harridans

Hmmm....tough call. Stick with your "friend" that isn't necessarilly the best candidate or who the people in your district support - or - vote for the best candidate and in line with the wishes of your constituency. Not a tough call at all - it's called doing what's right.

Hey CindyV (and the rest of you), Slate.com has a delegate counter that you can run various scenarios to see if Hillary can overtake Obama in Pledged Delegates. Give it a try:

http://www.slate.com/features/delegatecounter/

I (Obama Supporter) did my scenario giving Hillary the following states that remain with a 55-45 percent margin: OH, TX, PA, RI, WV, Guam, IN, KY, and PR. I gave Obama VT, MS, NC, WY, MT, O, and SD with a 55-45 margin. Hillary gets 514 delegates and Obama gets 467 delegates. Guess what. At the end of the process, after Puerto Rico, Obama still has a 109 "PLEDGED = ELECTED" Delegate lead. The Clinton Campaign has done the math. John Lewis knows that it is next to impossible for the Clinton campaign to make up the Difference in Pledged Delegates. John Lewis and most of the Superdelegates are not gonna play the Clintons Game and GIVE her the nomination. The scenario I laid out is pretty much a worst case scneario for Obama. Why should he wait, as some have suggested in this blog, until next Tuesday. As Hillary says "It's Time To Get Real".

BTW, I ran the numbers giving her every state with a 55-45 margin and Obama still had a lead of 57 in "PLEDGED = ELECTED" Delegates. The Clinton Campaign (See Penn, Solis, Wolfson) blew it in not having a strategy post-February 5th.

I'm only disappointed in Lewis because he didn't come out sooner. He is doing so now when there is no risk to him at all. And how in the world can this be "tougher" than marching in Selma? I don't get it, and it's a hollow endorsement, since it comes so reluctantly. He's still in love with the Clintons, and it doesn't help Obama at all to have Lewis be in such pain about his decision. Who needs him?! We've gotten along pretty well without the old guard in the black leadership (Mfume, Watson, Waters, Bond, etc.). As an African American, I'm sick of them. He has shown absolutely NO COURAGE in this situation.

Why do you continue to use the offensive, demeaning, and sexist term "harridan"? If a racist poster were offensive enough to use the "n word" in order to dismiss some Obama supporters, then it wouldn't be tolerated in this venue.

Super delegates- time to just SHUT UP. People are still voting and we the voters in the primary are supposed to decide. The Superdelegates are supposed to weigh in at the end if there is not a clear winner. So why are they even going public with how they are voting or switching or re switching or whatever? It is not about them, supposedly, it's about voters. They open their big fat entitled mouths in public to try and sway primaries and try to position themselves for more power by aligning who they think will win. Where are the Democratic party leaders to put a stop to this before they destroy the democratic process and the democratic party?
