Edwards' delegates at local County Convention throwing their weight toward Obama
I have it on good authority that a large number of Edwards' state delegates are supporting Obama at our local County Convention being held today.

At the various county and state conventions across the country, continuing further along the delegate chain to the National Convention, with or without Edwards' endorsement, these lower level delegates have to decide who they are going to support.

Have other DUers heard or experienced any of the same strategies being done by Edwards' delegates in support of Clinton?

1. Too bad because Edwards;
he's endorsing Hillary real soon! Deals are made, you must know how to play.

2. Got proof?
What you hear is innuendos and rumors. Edwards may choose just to stay out of it.

3. Well, it appears he's waited too late
Because his delegates are making the decisions now, with or wothout him, it appears.

5. I heard Al Gore is endorsing Obama! No evidence, like you, but just take my word for it.

7. I don't care who he endorses. I have made up my own mind and I
do not need to vote for someone just because someone endorses a candidate. I have always gone with my own judgment.

8. Edwards' endorsement is personal. His delegates are not obliged to follow it.
