John Kerry picked up four Idaho delegates Monday even before Democrats head to caucuses around the state tonight.

Four of the state´s five super delegates — party leaders with a vote at the Democratic National Convention — pledged their support to Kerry.

Democrats will meet in caucuses in 40 of the 44 counties tonight to divide up 18 of the state´s 23 delegates between the candidates for the Democratic nomination for president.

Kerry´s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, who has had a home in Ketchum since 1966, capped off a five-day statewide blitz by the Kerry forces that included Carole King concerts, veterans rallies and poltical receptions. On Sunday and Monday, Heinz Kerry spoke to supporters, read to kindergartners and toured the University of Idaho campus.
