19. what you forgot is that
Childers came out, formally said he had not recieved an endorsement from Obama, and said it in a way that suggests that....he won't appear with him in Mississippi.

Obama will find that many white Democrats in the South won't appear with him. They will happily take the increase in black turnout he'll engender, but, they aren't gonna want to be seen with him in public.

Alot of those uncommitted superdelegates are southern white Democrats. If it was in their political interests to commit, they would. For example, Taylor. Taylor probably won't commit until the convention and given his maverick reputation, he may end up voting for someone who is not one of the main two.....to give himself political cover back home, even though he no longer needs it, he's now a folk hero
