Major service workers union backs Obama - CNN.com

This is significant in and of itself, since this union is 1.3 million memember strong. However, this is what really caught my attention:

Quote:

Rep. David Scott, an African-American from Georgia, told the Associated Press he would vote for Obama because he did not want to go against the will of the voters. Obama won the Georgia primary on Super Tuesday, February 5, and 80 percent of Scott's district voted for him, the AP reported.

"You've got to represent the wishes of your constituency," Scott told the AP on Wednesday. "My proper position would be to vote the wishes of my constituents."

Maybe there is some hope for the DNC. This is exactly how superdelegates should be voting.

Vote how your constituents voted? What? I just hope that becomes the mindset of more and more of the DNC.

It'd be nice if the president did that.
