1. Free to support whomever they want per DNC rules.

4. last week Obama was reported phoning all of Edwards delegates
I think he gets all 19 tonight

Finally the elders in the party are pulling the plug

they let Hillary have her big night and now are saying enough

7. But they will probably go for Obama
I would guess that some of them would have gone for Obama anyway, given that most of Edwards' activist supporters seemed to favor Obama after Edwards dropped out. And with Edwards endorsing Obama they are probably more likely to do so.

6. but, in effect, they just became SuperDelegates.
I suspect the majority will go for Obama. But that's just a guess.
