This is just one more nail in the defeat Hillary coffin. As I have predicted, it is all beginning to fall apart on the Clintons. You can be that they are mad as hell and are already planning their revenge for when they "take over" the White House. Remember, she is ready to go on "day-one" so these "traitors" better get ready... of course they are going to try to get revenge even when they don't win the White House back.

Hillary Clinton's strategy of relying on high-ranking Democrats to keep her ahead of Barack Obama in the race for the presidential nomination is in jeopardy today after a leading figure of the civil rights era said he would switch sides to support her opponent.
John Lewis, a Georgia congressman who had been supporting Clinton, said he now planned to back Obama. The move from Lewis, one of Clinton's most prominent African-American supporters, could encourage other black leaders and Democratic so-called "super-delegates" to switch sides.
Lewis, like other Democratic members of Congress, governors and high-ranking members of the party, is one of the country's 796 super-delegates, who act as free agents at the nominating convention. Unlike normal delegates they are not chosen by primaries or caucuses. His defection could prove especially damaging for Clinton because of his moral authority. As a student in the early 1960s, Lewis was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement. [full article]
I just can't wait to hear what conservative talk radio has to say about this development. I bet they agree with me that the Clinton campaign is falling like a Japanese dive bomber in WWII.
