After penning the blog below, it was interesting to see how I wasn't the only one to see past Hillary Clinton's decision to line up with John McCain on the summer gas tax holiday plan.  She couldn't possibly have believed that cutting a tax that both suppresses demand for oil and helps repair our nation's transportation infrastructure was a good idea.  Now she's paying for it big time. 

Former DNC chairman, Joe Andrew (appointed by Bill Clinton) has jumped ship and announced his support for Barack Obama. Here's his explanation:

Andrew said the Obama campaign never asked him to switch his support, but he decided to do so after watching Obama's handling of two issues in recent days. He said Obama took the principled stand in opposing a summer gas tax holiday that both Clinton and McCain supported, even though it would have been easier politically to back it.

And to twist the knife, Andrew urged other superdelegates to back Obama and get this thing done.
