URGENT — Edwards endorsement pays off for Obama

Associated Press

WASHINGTON Barack Obama picked up four of John Edwards’ 19 delegates as the former rival’s endorsement began to pay off.

Edwards endorsed Obama on Wednesday night. Hours later, some of Edwards’ delegates followed suit, adding to Obama’s growing lead in delegates needed to win the nomination. Obama is now just 135 delegates shy of the number needed to clinch.

Edwards won 19 delegates in three states before dropping out of the race in January. They are now free to support whomever they want, regardless of Edwards’ endorsement. Several, however, said the endorsement is important to their decision.

Obama picked up three delegates in South Carolina and one in New Hampshire, both states that held their primaries in January.
