So far, five superdelegates are committed to Clinton, one is for Obama, and the rest are undeclared:

Bayh has endorses Clinton but will say flowery things about Obama to stay in good grace with the Democratic African-American voters in the great State of Indiana. And the African-Americans voters of Indiana will not demand more.sigh.

How Long? Not Long..John Lewis

John Lewis has switched. Lewis has heard the voices of the people and now suppots Barack Obama instead of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Lewis, a foot soldier of the civil right movement, could not avoid the freedom train of change.

According to the New York Times:

“In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit,” said Mr. Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who endorsed Mrs. Clinton last fall. “Something is happening in America and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.”

NAACP denies email supporting Obama as a hoax

Baltimoresun.com reports: The NAACP denounced as a hoax yesterday an e-mail purportedly written by the head of the civil rights group titled: "Your Ten Reasons to Choose Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton."

"I did not write the '10 reasons' and have not and will not support or oppose any candidate or party for president," Julian Bond, chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said in a statement. He also said the group "is studiously nonpartisan and does not engage in partisan politics."

Richard McIntire, a spokesman for the Baltimore-based civil rights group, said he learned of the e-mail yesterday. He said it was not known who disseminated the e-mail or when it was first sent.

Running as a Woman for President in Selma Alabama

Senator Hillary Clinton is going to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in commemoration of the right to vote in Selma Alabama. The bridge that showed the world, the anonymity southern raced whites had toward African-Americans. John Lewis and others marching got a beat down, by Alabama state troopers. Lewis on the Early Morning Show stated, that on the highest point of the bridge, marchers found themselves facing a sea of blue, state troopers. Sheriff Jim Clark was instrumental in the movement to prevent African-American from registering to vote. Later, even the great Dr. Martin King, Jr. and fellow marchers were turned around and forbidden to cross the bridge. But King, Jr. eventually crossed the bridge, and Selma would be known as the landmark that changed America.

Senator Clinton attending such an emotional historical event sends a message to Senator Barack Obama that she ain't skeert. Yep, she is going to show Senator Obama she may not be black, but she is bringing along an authentic black man. Her husband, the one and only President Bill Clinton is gonna help her get the African-American vote. Now go tell that to your MaMa Obama! It's all about heart for the African-American vote. Or is it? No there is something else byeond loving Bill.

Perhaps after Senator Clinton crosses the bridge, Clinton may hear the echos of one of Dr. King, Jr. speeches, How Long, Not Long. It took hundreds of years for African-Americans to get the right to vote, with a constitution amendment in 1870. But many African-Americans were not allowed to vote until the passing of Voting Rights Act of 1965. When will an African-American male be qualified to sit in the President seat? How long, Not Long.
