As many as 34 more superdelegates are expected to endorse Obama by tomorrow. It’s the last day of primaries and likely the last day the Democratic Presidential nominee will go unnamed. Democrats across America are buzzing about the last two primaries. In South Carolina, we’re all abuzz about Clyburn’s endorsement, but is it really a shock that Congressman Clyburn is supporting Obama?

For months now, Clyburn has publicly flirted with the idea, stopping just short of saying the words. You know how Mr. Big seemed fond of Carrie, would admit to just that, and references to any further inferences about his feelings would send him into a raging hissy fit… that’s Clyburn.

There are solid reasons why Clyburn’s endorsement of Obama shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, and none of those reasons is “I asked my eight ball.” It could be his open scolding of former President Bill Clinton in the media. Back in January atThe Congressional Black Caucus Institute’s Myrtle Beach Democratic Presidential Primary Debate, Congressman Clyburn said Bill Clinton needed to “chill”. Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, that would be only the tip of the iceberg in terms of her husband offending South Carolinians.

It could also be Clyburn’s continued flirting with the idea in the media. In the spin room after the Democratic Debate in Myrtle Beach, Clyburn discussed change. With cameras rolling, Clyburn told me about hope. It sounds like a pretty general statement, but it’s not one typically followed by a wink.

Of course, politicians often speak of hope, and at that time Clyburn maintained that he would not endorse a candidate. I asked him if it was a hint that he would be throwing his support behind Obama. With a rather stern face, he responded by saying that he’s always talked about hope.  Clyburn added that South Carolina's motto is "while I breathe, I hope"; he then opted to change the subject.

Clyburn’s success in politics is a direct result of his commitment and service to South Carolina. Results of the state’s Democratic Presidential Primary were a complete blowout in Obama’s favor. There has been much discussion questioning if superdelegate votes should reflect the decision of voters in their state.

If you look at Clyburn’s history in politics, he can only be described as a serviceman to his people. With that said, it’s no surprise that Clyburn would endorse Obama. In a blowout, Democrats across the state overwhelmingly chose Obama over his top competitor Hillary Clinton.

Clyburn was prevented from publicly endorsing a candidate because of his position as a top ranking Democrat in congress. He says his decision to remain uncommitted would help him eventually throw his full support to the nominee. It was also said that his endorsement early on in the election would have too big an influence on other superdelegates.

While the decision comes as no surprise, perhaps the timing does. Clyburn’s endorsement could put Obama over the edge today, helping him win the delegate support needed to finally clinch the nomination. … all eyes on South Dakota and Montana.
