UPDATE: Six more Edwards' delegates have signed up with Obama.
So far, one of John Edwards' pledged delegates has switched to Obama:
Joshua Denton of Portsmouth, 26, an Iraq war veteran, says he thinks that both Obama and Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Republican nominee John McCain. He thinks that Obama is the change the country needs, along with having the best chance of beating McCain in the general election.
"My fear with Hillary was just because she is who she is -- for better or worse -- she would sink, not just lose the presidency," but Democrats in Congress, Denton said Wednesday.
Edwards has nineteen total delegates, who are now essentially superdelegates. It has to be expected, though, that the endorsement by their candidate will sway the minds of these eighteen remaining delegates.
