In a fresh sign of trouble for Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of the former first lady's congressional black supporters intends to vote for Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, and a second, more prominent lawmaker is openly discussing a possible switch.
Rep. David Scott's defection and Rep. John Lewis' remarks highlight one of the challenges confronting Clinton in a campaign that pits a black man against a woman for a nomination that historically has been the exclusive property of white men.

It may be too late to associate themselves with Obama now. From the get go they shouldn't have been making statements sure as; " ...we would vote for him because we believe americas would want a blackman in the white house..." Thought like that have given Clinton the edge which i fear may be rooted in the grossly young and illiterate generations already.
