F) The Edwards Delegates
There may be a shift of some of Edwards' pledged delegates to either Senator Obama or Clinton after the Iowa congressional district conventions this weekend and the State convention on June 14th.
The last time Iowa readjusted its caucus results, Senator Obama picked up a net of 10 delegates, taking 8 of Edwards' 14 delegates and swaying one of Clinton's delegates to switch to him.
Edwards still has six delegates remaining in Iowa, four in New Hampshire and eight in South Carolina for a total of 18 pledged delegates. Both campaigns will pursue these delegates vigorously at every opportunity.
The impact of an Edwards endorsement would be of great significance in providing direction to these stranded pledged delegates. Currently Edwards' former national campaign chairman and many key Edwards backers have lined up behind Senator Obama, but whether this move will impact the movement of Edwards' delegates remains to be seen.
Also, the Edwards' delegates might swing the New Hampshire add-on delegate to Obama, as explained in part H -- Add-on Delegates.
