Jeffcoat, a S.C. superdelegate, chooses Obama

Wilber Lee Jeffcoat, a South Carolina superdelegate, has pledged to support Sen. Barack Obama for president.

Jeffcoat, a retired trucking supervisor and member of the S.C. Democratic Party executive committee, confirmed to Obama aides Friday that he would support the Illinois U.S. senator.

Jeffcoat said he'd planned to wait until all states had voted before choosing a candidate. But the tough delegate math U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton faces and fear the campaign could remain contentious prompted him to declare.

The superdelegates just need to be quiet and let the people decide.
