VI delegate that was for Clinton, then Obama, then Clinton not sure if he won't
switch again.

lol.

The AP gets a quote from that Virgin Islands superdelegate who originally supported Clinton, then jumped ship to Obama, and then switched back to Clinton just two weeks after having switched to Obama. “I decided to switch because that's my right," Kevin Rodriguez said. "I don't want to say why I decided. It's not about me ... It's about America and what's best for America."

Cecil Benjamin, Virgin Islands Democratic Party chairman, reached by First Read Wednesday morning, had not heard Rodriguez had switched again and expressed disbelief. “I doubt that very much," Benjamin told us, adding that he’s spoken to him just last week and he was still supporting Obama. "I don’t think he’s such a fool and would make himself such a mimic when all the superdelegates are moving to Obama.”

Asked by the AP “whether he might switch allegiances again, Rodriquez replied: ‘I don't know.’”

1. He needs to pull his head out of his ass
This isn't a game. I think the amount of SD's needs to be reduced for the next cycle.

6. Damn, he did the check bounce?
The check bounced and now he knows he will look really stupid if he jumps back to Obama. Dude, get a money order or cash next time.

7. "Hey look at me everyone"
I guess that's one way to turn your vote in to a publicity campaign.

8. Reminds me of the Molly Ivans story about the Texas legislator who took $200 from a lobbyist before
a key vote, but voted then against the lobbyist, and when the lobbyist asked why, the legislator said "t'other side offered me $400." When the lobbyist began lecturing the legislator about the importance of standing by his original commitment, the legislator said "you should've know'd I was weak when I took the $200."
