Edwards delegate endorses Obama

One of John Edwards's New Hampshire delegates has decided to endorse Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

State Rep. Sharon Nordgren (D-Hanover) becomes the fourth Edwards delegate to endorse Obama.

"I think the primary process has ended and it is important for the party to unite behind one candidate," Nordgren told PolitickerNH.com. "I feel comfortable enough with his positions to endorse him."

Nordgren also paid homage to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).

"I admire Senator Clinton for her commitment to causes that we both share like healthcare."

Nordgren said she did receive calls from the Clinton campaign.

"I've had calls but no pressure," Nordgren. "To be honest, if I felt pressured I probably would have endorsed sooner."

Asked if she thinks Obama should pick Clinton to be the vice-presidential nominee, Nordgren said, "It's Obama's decision, and he'll have to decide who he thinks helps him the most."

Nordgren's decision also means that Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) and Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley (D-Manchester) are the only uncommitted New Hampshire delegates.
