SC superdelegate pledges support for Obama
Carol Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic Party chairwoman, announced yesterday that she will be supporting Barack Obama even though her husband, who also is a superdelegate, is supporting Hillary Clinton.
Fowler said she made up her mind last week to back the presidential candidate that “had the best potential for winning in the fall.” She said Obama has demonstrated that ability by turning out new voters and winning in conservative states, including South Carolina.
Fowler’s husband also is a superdelegate. Don Fowler has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“It’s bad judgment on her part,” joked Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee national chairman. “I’m starting a movement to repeal the 19th amendment.” The constitutional amendment gave women the right to vote.
