Edwards delegate goes to Obama
Fred McDowell of Leesburg is an elected delegate who was previously pledged to Sen. John Edwards.
He wrote a letter to the Florida Democratic Party this morning that Congressman David Bonior called him on May 2 and asked on behalf of Sen. Edwards to instead support Sen. Barack Obama.
"I am pleased to inform you that I will follow Sen. Edwards’ desires and pledge my support and delegate vote to Senator Obama," wrote McDowell, who is chief of the state party's Veteran Caucus.

That is exactly why seeing so many "new" voters getting involved this time. WE are the better party we have been waiting for.
It was ALWAYS supposed to be citizen soldiers, citizen office holders, citizen presidents. About time we citizenry do our job.
