Six Edwards delegates confirm Obama support
John Moylan, who led John Edwards' S.C. presidential campaign, has announced the six S.C. delegates who have said they will support U.S. Sen. Barack Obama at the Democratic convention.
They are:
- Lauren Bilton of Columbia,
- Daniel Boan of Kershaw,
- Christine Brennan-Bond of Moore,
- Michael Evatt of Seneca,
- Robert Groce of Summerville
- Susan Smith of Pawley's Island.
In addition, Moylan, an alternate delegate, and state Rep. Bill Clyburn, a member of the platform committee, said they too would support Obama.
A seventh delegate, Tim Moore of Barnwell, said he has yet to make up his mind. Efforts to reach the state's eighth delegate, Marilyn Hemingway of Georgetown, were unsuccessful.
Edwards, a S.C. native, endorsed Obama yesterday and asked his delegates to give their vote to Obama. According to party rules, delegates are free to vote for the candidate of their choice

Dang Edwards - I'd never vote for anyone he endorsed. Not sure about McCain either if he selects Sanford as his vp... We need to start over-some how the best slipped through the cracks.

I have just signed the petition to replace South Carolina's standard of "minimally adequate education" with new language in our state constitution requiring the state to establish, organize and support public institutions of learning that will provide a high quality education, allowing each student to reach his highest potential.
Will you sign it too?
