Scottsdale, Arizona (CNN) - Members of the Republican National Committee gathering in Arizona were invited to meet with Mitt Romney in private Friday and have their pictures taken with the presumptive GOP nominee, but there was a price of admission: loyalty.
RNC members and state GOP chairmen were welcomed into the private reception only after signing a form pledging to support Romney as a delegate to the national convention in Tampa.

All 168 members of the committee have a vote at the convention as "superdelegates" and one of Romney's supporters on the RNC estimated that over 100 members signed the form.
The Romney "delegate pledge form" asked members to sign their name and "pledge to vote for Mitt Romney at the 2012 Republican National Convention on all ballots until Mitt Romney has been nominated."
Signers were given the option of declaring their support publicly or privately by checking one of two boxes.
Several state Republican chairmen who have not publicly endorsed a candidate - including party leaders from South Carolina, Ohio and California - signed the pledge.

Forget the media lies, Romney’s ACTIONS in this regard tell you the TRUTH! Romney is FAR from wrapping up this nomination!
GO NEWT!
Milt REALLY wants to get this thing wrapped up so he can stop pretending to be a Conservative. After playing this charade for the last 6 years he must be beyond exhaustion.
A checkoff box?!
It means nothing, aboslutely nothing.
Demanding a loyalty oath to him, I suspect, will be the next demand. It is a good example of Romany’s megalomania, as he demands loyalty from others but doesn’t practice it himself.
What a schmuck
The inventor of Romneycare vs. the inventor of Obamacare..
Somebody is laughing very hard..
I am not amused.. somebody may be foolish and it may be republicans generally..
Romney hasn’t a chance.. Obama can laugh him off the dais..
The choice... Dumb and Dumber.. only thing missing is the Squirrel car..

Yeah
Blood oaths
complete with motions at the throat and bowels...
So will all the limp-wristed Freepers baying that “it’s all over, Mitt has won” please explain why Romell Mittler is already preparing his guns for a convention floor fight? 55% of the delegates so far is not over unless you think the Freepathon ends at 55%, not 100%. Mittler is barely past halfway on the delegate mark and it is very doable for Newt and/or others to get enough votes in the next 19 states to deny him the nomination.
Um... wasn’t W criticized for asking for something similar?
Virginia GOP Will Require Voters To Sign Loyalty Oath
Voting for Romney will be like voting for Bill Clintoon. I think the driving motivation for both of them is vast ego.
That said - the man in the Oval Office now is evil incarnate. His intention is to break America.
I do not want to vote for Romney, but if that is my choice I simply must vote against Barak Hussian Anti-Christ.
I really do not understand how 55-65% of Rebublicans can support Romney though. If I end up voting for him I will have to go home afterwards to vomit and take a shower.
Good for them. All these pledges are soooo junior high.

He already has.
"The Romney "delegate pledge form" asked demanded that members sign their name and "pledge to vote for Mitt Romney at the 2012 Republican National Convention on all ballots until Mitt Romney has been nominated."
Can anyone doubt that Mitt intends to rule in the same manner as Obama is doing?
