There And Back Again

Last week, a delegate from Guam Pilar Lujan, the chair of the Democratic Party in Guam, who previously stated that she would back the winner of the caucuses in Guam (Obama) backed away from that support and opted to endorse Senator Clinton:

“After taking a close look at the candidates in this race, I was more impressed by Senator Clinton’s ability to meet the challenges of the presidency: end the war, re-invigorate the economy, and provide universal health care,” said Lujan. “When she becomes the first woman president, she will think of the people of Guam and their aspirations.”

Today, Kevin Rodriquez, a superdelegate from the Virgin Islands who is an African-American Democratic committeeman and the director of personnel for the Virgin Islands government, was supporting Clinton earlier this year, then switched to Obama on May 10th, and is now back in the New York Senator’s corner. More from ABC News. It is good to see that some superdelegates do want to win in November and only Clinton guarantees such a victory.

The Virgin Islands has five superdelegates. Two are now supporting Clinton and the three are still supporting Obama. Some more information in the delegation from the Virgin Islands from Source Watch.
