7 Of 8 SC Edwards' Delegates Now Back Obama

[sniffa]

Seven South Carolina delegates once
committed to former presidential candidate John Edwards are now
endorsing Barack Obama.

The former North Carolina senator won eight delegates with a distant third place finish in South Carolina's primary in January and decided to leave the race.

On Friday, Marilyn Hemingway and Christine Bond confirmed they've joined five other delegates supporting Obama. The remaining delegate, Tim Moore of Barnwell, said he is not yet ready to commit to anyone other than Edwards.

The delegate support comes after Edwards publicly endorsed Obama
earlier this week. Obama is considered the front-runner in the Democratic race for president, ahead of rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

2. I figure there is going to be about 2-3 that decide to represent edwards at the convention.

The race is not close enough that Edwards can't get a LITTLE mention at the convention.
