African-American superdelegates said Thursday that they’ll stand up against threats, intimidation and “Uncle Tom” smears rather than switch their support from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Sen. Barack Obama.

After civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) switched his support from Clinton to Obama earlier this week, other black superdelegates have come under renewed pressure to do a similar about-face. A handful have bowed to the entreaties in recent weeks, including Georgia Rep. David Scott, but many say they are steadfast in their support for Clinton and resent strong-arm tactics to make them change.

Looks to me like Obama will take Texas and Ohio is close....

Obama, an Illinois senator, has a 6-point edge on Clinton in Texas, 48 percent to 42 percent. He trails Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent in Ohio -- well within the poll's margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Yup, Clinton might shed a crocodile tear at the appropriate moment that might turn the voting around and make the polls wrong like in New Hampshire.

People still care what Limbaugh has to say? Wow. Talk about not getting to choose who backs you.

You know, I believe that. I do unfortunately believe that there are that many stupid people in this world.

Wait. Stupid might have been too strong of a word. I would bet that at least half of those people tune in groan and moan about how ridiculous he sounds.
