11. The most senior African-American member of the House, and a very powerful congressman.

Look for several more (at a minimum) to enorse in the wake of Clyburn's announcement.

20. Thx!

13. He's kind of like the 2nd most important Dem in the House

I think he's the House Majority Whip. Has a lot of power in the House and sway over undecided House members. Everybody in Congress scratches each other's back, so they better endorse Obama if they want their earmarks taken seriously. :rofl:

15. third (speaker, majority leader, whip)

[hokies4ever]

18. Ah, I see. I guess I just thought of the speaker as the majority leader

[hokies4ever]

17. The question the pundits should be asking

is not what argument Hillary is making to the superdelegates in general, but what argument she is making to the superdelegates leaning heavily toward Obama. Hillary needs virtually all of the remaining superdelegates to win. So what is her argument to Donna Brazille? What is her argument to Jimmy Carter? These are the types of people she needs to convince to get the superdelegates all on her side.

8. I thought he was announcing it at 9AM Wednesday morning.
