America is a premier republic, albeit not a perfect one, where everybody is at liberty to endorse a candidate of his/her own choosing, and a man who votes one way and then turns around and vote the other way would not even be an issue here were it not for the dastardly and clearly opportunistic way it was done by a man who should have known better that a man of integrity and principle will not switch sides at his convenience, based on an a flawed assumption that this primary is virtually over, and that Hillary will be the candidate at the head of the Democratic ticket. For Congressman Harold Mitchell to abandon Barach Obama at the very moment he seems to have reached a cul-de-sac, with his poll numbers on a protracted standstill, is treacherous at best, and says a lot about Harold’s lack of integrity and principles. Jumping ship anticipative of perceptably imminent defeat of Obama is an act of inglorious defection bordering on desperation and betrayal.
