Does anybody know who John Conyers' is supporting?
I consider him the sharpest Democrat out there known for fighting for African Americans. Who is he supporting?

Oh, and I'm also to ignorant to look at google myself, so I will keep on asking stupid questions that I may or may not know the answer to already.

1. He's supporting Obama.
That's why he's endorsing the "vote uncommitted" slate for the Michigan primary.

11. I see that as more a protection of his states voters.
Unless he said he is specifically for Obama

Is it true that Hillary went to school at a fundamentalist madrassa?
I'm very concerned.

6. MY stupid question is, do Congresspeople and Senators generally make public
who they're supporting? I know Kerry just endorsed Obama, but is that usually the case?

I think they might be hesitant to do so lest they lose favor with the incoming Prez if they'd happened to support a different candidate.

I always feel there's a political motive behind every move they make, don't you?

8. I think they saw an Obama sweep
and since endorsements aren't made overnight, they probably signed on before NH. Or not.

12. Obama, per this article

It doesn't allow right-clicking, so I couldn't copy it here, but it's about what was at that time a 15-15 split in the Cong Black Caucus between Obama and Clinton; I don't know if that's changed at all. There's no dateline, but it's pre-Iowa at least.

14. "...questions that I may or may not know the answer to already."
Is this a game?

16. Me? Why would I be guilty?
At first I thought this was a legitimate question then I re-read your initial post and you said you were asking questions you might already know the answers to. I just wondered if you were playing.

I don't have time for games.
