The Obama campaign announced that 10 Edwards pledged delegates have endorsed Obama.

With today’s announcement, every delegate pledged to Senator Edwards in Iowa (four delegates), New Hampshire (four delegates) and South Carolina (eight delegates) will be voting for Senator Obama at the National Convention.  In addition, 10 of the 13 Edwards delegates from Florida will be voting for Senator Obama at the National Convention.    

 Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) switched from Clinton to Obama.

 DNC Member John Daniello (DE).

 DNC Member Harriet Smith-Windsor (DE).

 DNC Member Rhett Ruggerio (DE) switched from Clinton to Obama

 Rep. Dennis Moore (KS).

 Rep. William Jefferson (LA).

Superdelegates Expected to Endorse Obama Sometime Soon:

- Sen. Ken Salazar (CO) and Gov. Bill Ritter (CO) 

- Sen. Herb Kohl (WI) 

- Rep. Jerry McNerney (CA)

- 5 Montana superdelegates are sent to endorse tonight after the polls close, including Gov. Brian Schweitzer and both senators, Max Baucus and Jon Tester. The WSJ Blog reported that these three superDs are set to endorse Obama, but I read another report that said they will endorse the winner in Montana (which hopefully is the same thing!).- The New York Times reports that at least 8 members of Congress will endorse Obama right after the polls close in South Dakota at 9 p.m. EST, per Obama aides. No names are named, so there could be some overlap with some of the names listed above. (H/T Bitter Elitist).

- 3 Tennessee superdelegates plan to endorse Obama tomorrow: Gov. Phil Bredesen, Democratic Chairman Gray Sasser and at least one other.
