Trickle, Trickle

Wilber Lee Jeffcoat, the Democratic Party Vice Chair in SC and a Super D, endorsed Barack Obama this afternoon, according to his campaign. Jeffcoat is the 269th superdelegate to endorse the IL Sen. Team Chicago believes Obama is 162 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.

“Barack Obama inspired thousands of new voters in my state of South Carolina to get involved in our democratic process, and I am proud to announce my endorsement today," he said in a statement released by the campaign. "With Barack Obama as our nominee, we can bring more and more new voters out to become involved and have their voices heard. Obama has worked his whole life to unite people from all backgrounds and walks of life for change, he has done that in this campaign and he will continue to do that as President. I am excited to join his campaign today.”

3. Thank you Wilber

He and I were in the same delegation at the SC Democratic Convention last weekend. It was obvious talking to him that he, and eventually Cong Jim Clyburn, was an Obama supporter, but he was very vague about when he would declare. This will eventually give Obama 7 of SC's 9 supers.
