CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Update: Lewis switches vote from Clinton to Obama « - Blogs from CNN.com

Excerpt

(CNN) — Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights movement veteran and Democratic congressional leader who endorsed Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid last year, is switching his superdelegate vote to Barack Obama, according to a report Friday’s New York Times.

“In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit,” he said in the story, published on the paper’s Web site Thursday night. “Something is happening in America, and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.”

Cool.

He'd rather switch than fight.

there does seem to be something about Obama everyone can grab on to. The guy appeals to EVERYONE.

He has alot of pressure on him to rise to the occasion, but something tells me he is capable of it.

In other words..he inspires people, but hopefully it is he himself who will be inspired and humbled at the widespread support.

right person, right place, right time

I am optimistic



(he needs to work at the health care policy though)

It would be nice to get some international support and respect back...he is the person who could do it.
