- Some time next week, according to media reports, a few dozen Democratic superdelegates plan to announce their support for Sen. Barack Obama as he moves closer to becoming the first black Democratic presidential nominee in American history.
Although the Obama camp would not confirm the reports Wednesday, sources close to the campaign told BlackAmericaWeb.com that a number of superdelegates are standing by because they don’t want to give the impression that Obama is being disrespectful to his Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, and will wait until after June 3 to let the primary contests run its course.
