Pledged Delegate Switches To Obama

This is pretty huge, today Jack B. Johnson, the executive of Prince George's County, Maryland and elected pledged delegate for Hillary has decided to switch his vote over to Obama saying "I cannot in good conscience go to the convention and not support Barack". He believes that Obama has won the nomination and it is time to come together around our nominee. It has also been supported that he is going to be urging other Maryland Hillary supporters like Sen. Barbara Mikulski to switch over to Obama to bring the Party together.

Now I don't support pledged delegates switching, because they are the entrusted caretakers of the people's votes, and those should be respected. I firmly believed this when Hillary was trying to corrupt the process by trying to steal Obama's pledged delegates, and I believe it now. Having said that, I think this is very important because it shows the extent to which the Party is ready to rally behind Obama and move on, whether Hillary is willing or not.
