"And while it would be unseemly for the candidates to hand out thousands of dollars to primary voters, or to the delegates pledged to represent the will of those voters, elected officials who are superdelegates have received at least $890,000 from Obama and Clinton in the form of campaign contributions over the last three years, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics."

Clinton Loses Huge Endorsement more similar news »
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), "an elder statesman from the civil rights era" and one of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s "most prominent black supporters," said "that he planned to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Sen. Barack Obama in hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention," the New York Times reports.
Said Lewis: “In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit. Something is happening in America and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap."
"Mr. Lewis, who carries great influence among other members of Congress, disclosed his decision in an interview in which he said that as a superdelegate, he could not go against the wishes of the voters of his district, who overwhelmingly supported Mr. Obama."
Mark Halperin: "The timing could not be worse for Clinton. And those in the party and
the press who want to write off her chances would be able to make a big
deal about such a move. If Lewis breaks away, take whatever you thought
Clinton’s chances of winning the nomination before and divide that
number by as much as two — those would be the odds of her winning now."
