Wednesday, Georgia Congressman John Lewis, a superdelegate for the state of Georgia officially announced he has switched his Clinton support to her Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama. Lewis told NBC News that his decision to end his support for Sen. Clinton was “tougher” than leading the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” march from Selma to Montgomery, when police nearly beat him to death on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Lewis, had been under tremendous pressure after his constituency votes 3-1 to support Obama in the state’s Feb. 5 primary.

“After taking some time for serious reflection on this issue,” Lewis said in his statement. “I have decided that when I cast my vote as a superdelegate at the Democratic convention, it is my duty…to express the will of the people,”

“John Lewis is an American hero and a giant of the civil rights movement, and I am deeply honored to have his support,” Obama said in a statement. In contrast, Senator Clinton said “I understand he’s been under tremendous pressure. He’s been my friend. He will always be my friend. At the end of the day it’s not about who is supporting us, it’s about what we’re presenting, what our positions are, what our experiences and qualifications are and I think that’s voters are going to decide.” This is another huge win for the Obama camp.
