About those "undecided" superdelegates

Remember, many of the undecided superdelegates would be better characterized as undeclared. Many of them, in fact, already have decided to support Barack Obama -- it's just a question of when they will announce their support.

Take, for example, Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina. Read this passage from the NYT:

In an interview with The New York Times late Thursday, Mr. Clyburn said Mr. Clinton’s conduct in this campaign had caused what might be an irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African-American constituency that once revered him. “When he was going through his impeachment problems, it was the black community that bellied up to the bar,” Mr. Clyburn said. “I think black folks feel strongly that that this is a strange way for President Clinton to show his appreciation.”

Mr. Clyburn added that there appeared to be an almost “unanimous” view among African-Americans that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were “committed to doing everything they possibly can to damage Obama to a point that he could never win.”

Technically, Clyburn is an undeclared superdelegate. But is there any doubt about who he'll vote for as a superdelegate?
