2. She was silly to have needed to change. She shoulda seen that coming

before she announced, but I guess no one expected such attention on the super delegates in the beginning.

3. Don't you be dissing my Senfronia

She was committed to Hillary a long time ago. Even before Barack was one of the top two contenders. I'm sure she is following John Lewis' switch.

She's going to both switch and fight!

Houston superdelegate switches support to Obama

AUSTIN — Democratic superdelegate and state Rep. Senfronia Thompson, of Houston, defected from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign Wednesday and joined a growing list of superdelegates to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president, according to his campaign.

"I'm honored to have earned the support of Representative Thompson and am pleased that she'll play an important role in advancing our grassroots movement for change in Houston and across Texas," Obama said in a statement. "Throughout her three decades in the Legislature, she's been a tireless advocate for working families and when I'm president we'll work together to put the American dream within reach of every child in Texas and across our country."

Thompson, one of the longest serving Democrats in the state House, is one of the party insiders who, as a superdelegate, help choose the Democratic nominee at the national convention this summer in Denver.

My link at the top of this story is now bad. This story is confirmation though.
