Clinton Backer Says "I will be stunned if he's [Obama] not the next President..."
In an unusually frank interview on Canadian public radio, CBC, Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver of Kansas City -- a Hillary supporter and superdelegate -- gives a sense of how tenuous Clinton's hold on many black superdelegates is.

"If I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say Barack Obama is going to be the next president," he says just after 18:00. "I will be stunned if he's not the next president of the United States."

5. Now THAT sounds egalitarian.
"...Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver of Kansas City -- a Hillary supporter and superdelegate -- gives a sense of how tenuous Clinton's hold on many black superdelegates is."

Black and White. What a fun game to play.
