N.J. superdelegate for Clinton now undecided
snip...

Democratic superdelegate Christine "Roz" Samuels of Montclair said she changed her preference for Hillary Clinton after the former president's comments about Obama's stance on the Iraq war, and after Hillary Clinton's comments about Martin Luther King.

"I'm disappointed in a few things that were said a few weeks ago by President Clinton," she said. "I'm going to have to revisit what I'm going to do between now and when we vote."

Bill Clinton called Obama's celebrated opposition to the Iraq war "a fairy tale," suggesting that while Obama had spoken out against the war in 2002 while he was an Illinois state senator, Obama had moderated his anti-war stance during his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign.

In January, Hillary Clinton commented that Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Samuels, a member of the Democratic National Committee and the executive committee of the state NAACP, also said she was troubled by Hillary Clinton's comments that Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

And she questioned how Hillary Clinton's eyes welled up before last month's New Hampshire primary. "I am female, and I know we can cry at the drop of the hat," she said, "but that was a bit much."

"I just have to weigh this a little more closely," said Samuels, who works as a secretary to a school principal in Newark.

2. Like the breeze from the wings of a butterfly...
I sense the brewing of a powerful storm on the horizon...

and this was the first leaf (super"D") to fall from the tree (Clinton Campaign).

3. Some people think Superdelegates are fixed on one candidate
Which is not true. They can easily switch sides.
