Under this deal, delegates bound to a candidate (say Romney) can’t rebel and give support to another proposed surprise candidate, like Paul or even a bigger surprise Palin.
So this effectively ends any hope anyone here may have had for a convention shocker. Not that it matters much anyway at this point; in a few days it’s going to be a matter of simple history that Romney has the nomination.
However going forward, what this means is, the primaries are all more important. After say March, or at latest April, there will be (or should not be) anymore hopes that at the convention, a surprise candidate will rise to the occasion and oust some elitist.
This deal also eliminates the proposal that a candidate can choose his own delegates, thus prohibiting even more cronyism and back door deals in choosing the Republican nominee.
So let’s take this to heart, take the primaries seriously next time, and by JANUARY at the LATEST, RALLY behind a clear conservative choice!
We had our last chance for it - to all those who threw PATRIOT NEWT under the bus because they saw a pix of him on a couch - meanwhile Romney is/was on the couch sleeping w/the enemy and they TOTALLY overlooked that - IN SPITE of being warned over and over.
There is no talking to those easily deceived. They fell hook line and sinker for evil Romney’s tactic. Romney being godless didn’t stir them one bit. They wanted evil, they got it! He never did one thing FOR AMERICA! Satan has come to kill/rob/destroy.
