Rodriquez committed to Clinton on March 10. Two months later, he changed his mind, saying Obama brought a new energy and generation to the democratic process.

This week, he announced his support for Clinton again.

"I decided to switch because that's my right," he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I don't want to say why I decided. It's not about me ... It's about America and what's best for America."

The chairman of the U.S. Virgin Islands' Democratic party offered a different reason.

"At this desperate crunch time, anything should be expected, especially when political persuasions, promises and offers are made," said Cecil Benjamin, adding that he had no proof that Rodriquez was being pressured to change his vote.

Also from AP (today):

“WA superdelegate goes for Clinton, bucking trend in state

By CURT WOODWARD

Associated Press Writer
OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Washington state’s Democratic vice-chairwoman has endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination, bucking a recent wave of superdelegate support here for front-running Sen. Barack Obama.


“Nothing is impossible,” Macoll said. “And I would never, never count the Clintons out.””

It's a woman's perogative.

“”I don’t want to say why I decided.”.....

“but please don’t look in my bank account ....”

Whoo how the payoff moneys must be flowing....I bet these super delegates are planning new additions to their homes thanks to the increased, uh, “interest” in them by the candidates machines....

My bet is he received an envelope from Hillary containing some very compromising photos and note saying she really wishes he’d change his mind back.

Don't worry, you don't have to. If it involves the Clinton, we have a pretty good idea why.

“I decided to switch because that’s my right,”

Wonder what the REAL motivation is?

FBI files?

Sizable Saudi donation to the charity founded and controlled by the delegate?

Doesn’t want her cat to mysteriously disappear or family member suffer an unfortunate “suicide”?

It would be more efficient for Hillary to give bus tours of Ft Marcy Park, and point out all the prime locations still available.

I wish I could be a superdelegate and get tons of cash.
