Superdelegate Boyd Richie for Obama

Now that the stress of deciding between HRC and Barack Obama is gone, I wonder whether Texas Democratic Party Chair and superdelegate Boyd Richie will be found dancing in the streets somewhere. We all know he's an excellent dancer. (Everyone has different definitions of excellent, okay?)

OK seriously, Richie and his superdelegate wifte Betty both came out tonight in support of Barack Obama for President. (Kind of surprising, I always thought he was a Hillary guy.) Part of Boyd Richie's statement:

"Senator Obama has the skill and ability to unite Americans from all walks of life and put our country back on the right track."

"I am also grateful for Senator Obama's commitment to help build the Texas Democratic Party. Senator Obama and his campaign understand something that Texans have known for at least a couple of years - that when Democratic candidates invest the time and resources necessary, Texas Democrats have the numbers to compete and win across every region of our great state. We made progress in 2006, and in 2008, the Texas Democratic Party is more energized, better organized, and we are poised to make significant gains this fall."

This announcement comes just as the national Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws committee prepares to meet this weekend, concerning the seating of much-debated Michigan and Florida democratic delegates. And it comes just one week before the Democratic state convention, set for June 6-8 in Austin.

There's too much politics in Texas to fit into a newscast, so the fun continues here.
