White men remain in charge of the Democratic party

Josephine Hearn writes in Politico today:

According to a Politico analysis, close to half of the 700-plus Democratic superdelegates who could end up determining the party nominee are white men.

One Obama superdelegate, a House member, had sharp criticism for the superdelegate racial and gender make-up, a reaction that reflects the sensitivities surrounding the issue. “It’s still the old guard, the white men. They always want to control the outcome,” the superdelegate said. “But this time, they won’t be able to do it.”

That strong response could portend a messy intra-party fight in the event that superdelegates cast the decisive votes for the nominee.

John Lewis seems to be backing off from his switch from Clinton to Obama.
