Clyburn Says Tune In Tuesday

Remember James Clyburn? The powerful House majority whip caused quite the stir earlier this year when he publicly flirted with endorsing Barack Obama after pledging to stay neutral throughout the contest. After a few days of seeming to endorse, Clyburn finally declared himself to be “undeclared.” Well, Clyburn tells the Stamford Advocate in Connecticut that he will unveil his pick at 11am Tuesday -- while voters in Montana and South Dakota are going to the polls for the final two contests.

“As the House majority whip, I didn't want to interject myself into the process,” Clyburn said of his earlier non-decision. Clyburn did vote for a candidate in his home state of South Carolina and told the paper, “I'm not undecided, just unpledged." Clyburn should be expected to give his endorsement to Obama. He has criticized Hillary Clinton’s campaign for injecting race into the contest and his home state voted heavily for Obama in January.

America Needs to come to terms with Obama being the Biggest National Security Threat, this nation has ever seen.

It is Something that Should be taken into serious consideration.

It is past time to think of the serious repercussions of this.

In the history of this country, No one this dangerous has gotten so close to taking over this country.

This is serious, this is our countries future.

He expects his grandstanding announcement will have some big impact on Tuesday''s primaries?

Not too likely that the voters in MT and SD will be overly impressed. Clyburn is a miserable racist individual.

Clyburn has destroyed his credibility after blaming Clinton for injecting race. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have done so much in terms of racial equality in this country-Clyburn comes off as a real opportunist and a liar.
