Va. Superdelegate Switches Sides
State Del. Jennifer McClellan of Richmond, has turned on the woman she said "inspired her political career."
McClellan who sat with Hillary Clinton at a 1992 presidential debate at the University of Richmond and stood behind the former first lady through numerous primary losses, is now backing Barack Obama.
McClellan announced the flip in a conference call with another politician to whom she is indebted -- Gov. Tim Kaine.
The Virginia governor is a national co-chair for Obama's campaign. Two years ago he appointed McClellan, then a freshman state delegate, to a state commission on sexual violence.
