From Staff & Wire Services

Posted May 9, 2008 – Supporters of Hillary Clinton seem to be dropping like flies. Rep. Donald Payne, a New Jersey Democrat and an early Clinton supporter, told The Newark Star-Ledger the he was jumping the Clinton ship to sail with Barack Obama. He is the third person to leave Clinton for Obama in the past 72 hours.

Former 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern announced Wednesday that he had decided to switch, as did a Virginia superdelegate.

Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon also announced his support for Obama.
