In fact, many of his reported delegates are from states that have uncommitted delegates... and haven't even held their state conventions yet! They are counting on the GOP to strong arm the to-be-elected delegates to vote "their" way.
Wrong, he has the required number of dedicated state delegates from the states that he has already won to be nominated on the first voice vote. It is a done deal, McCain will be the republican candidate. You have to remember that each state has their own rules for how their delegates will vote and most do not do it the way we do in Pa. The only vote for us at this time is to send the message to the RNC that we are not happy. There is no way out of it this time.
