(CNN) – A few weeks ago, 21-year-old Wisconsin superdelegate Jason Rae was taken out to breakfast by Chelsea Clinton in the runup to that state’s Democratic primary.
Two days after the vote, the college junior – who will be the youngest superdelegate at this year’s Democratic National Convention — is undecided no longer: he’s backing Barack Obama.
“The Democratic Party is fortunate to have two very talented individuals running for President this election,” said Rae in a statement released by the Obama campaign Thursday. “It is a difficult choice for anyone, but in the end, the choice for me has become clear. I am proudly supporting Senator Barack Obama.”
He cited Obama’s support from an overwhelming majority of young voters as the major reason for his decision.

It must really suck to not have a mind of your own. Hey Jason, if a young Obama supporter told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
The one question exit pollers never ask: Are you voting for Obama because of ‘white guilt’?
Actually, he probably was promised that he could perform a Sinclair for Obama
So much for Chelsea being pimped out!
Chelsea’s take was a little light tonight.
Or maybe she put out for him already, and now he feels like he can discard her.
Or, given that he's a RAT, maybe he bats lefty.
there title fixed...........
Is that what they're calling it lately?
goten = gotten
I guess Chelsea didn’t close escrow.
If your friend was named Cliff, would you jump off him?
LOL!
This hurts. I want the 40th anniversary of the democrat convention in Chicago to be a real live re-enactment. C’mon bill and hillary you’re letting those of us that want to see the democrat party go down in flames down. Try harder, start blackmailing and threatening folks. Like you did to Willey and all the women bill molested over the years.
If the superdelegates are 21, how old are the regular delegates? 14?

Sheesh! They really ARE pimping out Chelsea!
I knew a guy in college - a very overconfident guy - who would approach girls at parties with a line like: “Guess who I am! . . . You don’t know? I’m the guy who’s making you breakfast tomorrow.”
