It’s official – Democractic superdelegate and civil rights veteran James Lewis (D-Ga) from Georgia has thrown his weight behind Barack Obama and moved away from Clinton.

Georgia congressman John Lewis said that he made the move to reflect the “will of the people.” In a statement issued by Mr. Lewis on Wednesday, he said, “As a U.S. representative, it is my role not to try to subdue or suppress the will of the people, but to help it prosper and grow.”

Lewis called his decision “difficult,” but added that the people’s enthusiasm was something he had “not seen in a long time, since the candidacy of Robert Kennedy.”
