List of South Carolina National Convention Delegates from a party source.

South Carolina Delegate Selection Plan for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Conditional approval pending final review by The Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee August 25, 2007

Illinois Senator Barack Obama has won the South Carolina Democratic Primary with a clear majority: New York Senator Hillary Clinton is well back in 2d place, but still ahead of former N.C. Senator John Edwards who, although in 3d place, remains above the threshold needed to qualify for National Convention delegates.

Official statewide returns from an official source as of 8 April 2008.

Here's how we compute the delegate count (based on official results from a official source):

1. A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard votes cast for those candidates who do not qualify. Obama, Clinton, and Edwards have qualified for delegates.
2. Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
3. In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):
1. Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
2. Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
3. Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
4. If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.

According to the 15 and 16 May 2008 articles below, 7 Edwards pledged delegates intend to cast their ballots for Obama. Accordingly, we have changed our soft pledged count from Obama 25, Clinton 12, Edwards 8 to Obama 32, Clinton 12, Edwards 1. Our hard count remains Obama 25, Clinton 12, Edwards 8 as originally assigned.

A Thursday 15 May 2008 article in CNN.com (Eight Edwards delegates [6 in SC] now moving to Obama) says that following Edwards' endorsement of Obama, at least 6 South Carolina delegates pledged to Edwards plan to vote for Senator Obama at the National Convention. The delegates are Daniel Boan [CD 5], Christine Brennan-Bond [CD 4], Robert Groce [CD 1], Susan Smith [Pledged PLEO], Mike Evatt [CD 3], and Lauren Bilton [At-Large]. All were elected as pledged delegates for Edwards during his 3rd place finish in the 29 January primary.

A 16 May 2008 article in Charlotte.com [http://www.charlotte.com:80/205/story/626932.html] says 7 of 8 South Carolina delegates pledged to Edwards now support Obama. Marilyn Hemingway [At-Large] and Christine Bond [CD 4] stated they and 5 other delegates will vote for Obama. The remaining pledged Edwards delegate, Tim Moore [CD 2], said he is not currently ready to commit to anyone else.

There is some confusion as to whether John Moylan and Christine Brennan-Bond are pledged delegates or alternates. Christine Brennan-Bond is pledged and John Moylan is an unpledged delegate according to this document from the South Carolina Democratic Party: South Carolina National Convention Delegates.

3 June 2008: The Obama Campaign today announced that all 8 delegates pledged to former Senator John Edwards have committed to vote for Senator Obama at the Democratic National Convention.
