Superdelegate Lewis denies NY Times report

A report in Friday's New York Times -- also carried in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution -- said U.S. Representative John Lewis (D) is shifting his support for a Democratic presidential nominee from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama.

Lewis' press secretary Brenda Jones denies the change in allegiance, calling the report "not accurate."

Lewis is one of Georgia's 13 superdelegates, or leading party members, who can cast a vote for any candidate at the party's nominating convention. In recent weeks, Democratic presidential candidates have lobbied hard for superdelegates' support from across the U.S.
