All Pennsylvania voters need to vote for Delegates BY NAME, but the candidates those delegates support are NOT shown on the ballot. Great system, huh? Who you vote for as President on the ballot is meaningless because the delegates are NOT bound.
Here's a sample ballot for District 13 to show you what I mean.
I was searching online and this is the closest I found to a list of which delegates are supporting which candidates. It was on the Ron Paul forums, but they deleted it, because they like to keep this information secret, so I pulled it from Google cache. The list is very incomplete, especially for Newt. But you can just as easily see which delegates you should NOT vote for as well as the ones you should in many cases.
If anyone can help identify who exactly are the Newt delegates on the list, please reply.
You can find out what Congressional District you're in here, just make sure to use the full address, zip code alone won't always work:

Also, be sure you read the following about how Senate candidate Steve Welch was a Democrat, donated to Joe Sestak, voted for Obama in the primary, and then him and his GOP country club men made up obvious lies about it.
Well this just majorly sucks....not one of the delegates in my district is for Newt!!!!! all Romney and Paul.
So then are we again forced to choose Paulites to oppose Romeny...it sure as heck looks that way.?
This is such a frigg’in rigged Primary at all levels. With former commissioners etc. now going in as delegates!

Thanks for the ping!
Is that glorious District 7?
Not sure what you should do there, but I’d go for Paulites if I were you just to throw more chaos in the general direction of Romney and the establishment. The Paulites also showed some signs of working together with Santorum delegates against Romney in one state recently, Colorado I think it was. So they could possibly become allies in a convention fight. Maybe if Newt pledged Rand Paul to take over the Fed. Romney delegates are going to be boring, establishment, status quo, business as usual, don’t-rock-the-boat all the way down the line.
A tougher call would be what to do in my district, 6, where so far we only know the Paul delegates and others with no affiliation. If I find out some are Romney delegates, I’m not sure whether to vote the Paul delegates or the “mystery” delegates. But if I know something about the “mystery” delegates in terms of their beliefs (e.g. pro-life) then I might go for them.
I’m in the 3rd district....just e-mailed Newt’s campaign to see if they know who is leaning toward Newt. I’ll let you know if I hear...with his staff lessoned I may not.
Daryl Metcalfe is one of the delegates...and very conservative...often seen as a “right wing nut case” LOL. It would be a guess which side he’d come down on...but he’s a political runner so who knows. Pro-gun is very strong with him.
The republican party woman are listing ‘Sergio’...Solarno’..and ‘Travis’......which might better I avoid. Probabaly in the tank for Romney.
Really not a good list of delegates IMO.
Thank you for the ping, Trib.
WRT the Rep. Senate primary, so far other than info from the RNC and RNSC, the only local info I’ve received was a broadsheet from my township, espousing Welsh, of course. I have had a couple of robo-calls from Peg Luksick for Rohrer, so if the others are spending money it hasn’t shown up here yet.
Go Sam. Go Newt!
Those 3 you mention are the Paul delegates, so whatever “Republican party woman” is listing them, she’s a Paulbot.
Actually I found some more information on those 3 Paul guys, who submitted their positions to this site but no other delegates did:

I know that struggle...and it's hard finding anything about them..I'm still trying. Looks like a risk wither way with Paulites or them...but at least with Paulites you know they likely won't go with Romney I'd imagine. The "mystery" ones could very well be in Romneys court.
Yep...I saw that while searching about them...frustrating when the delegates are stating much about themselves...the one looks like a college student for crying out loud.
Ok back on the hunt to see what I can find.

Yeah, of course, the Paul delegates are just as vulnerable to being swayed to Romney at the convention as they might be to Newt or another candidate. And if other candidates actually got thrown into the mix, we’d want to make sure our delegates stood for our values, because it could go beyond the current candidates.
Boyd, Edward
I know Ed Boyd personally, he's a solid Tea Party conservative and active in the Tea Party movement.
Thanks. Do you know if he’s going to back a specific candidate or is he going to follow the popular vote?
Anyone else you would recommend in CD-13 for either delegates or alternates?
I don't know any of the other PA-13 delegate candidates.
Good enough, if we don’t have any Newtists than Santonistas are my second choice.
I would label him as an uncommitted Tea Party conservative.
Does anyone know who Melissa Haluschak is in the tank for? Is she committed to being uncommitted or is she a Romenybot/Paulinista??
District #3 in PA.
All three delegates listed ‘for Paul’ are ‘Activists’ for his campaign. The Paulites were instructed not to list their delegates to keep “the plan” under wraps as long as possible. Here’s some info........
Sergi, Michael [PAUL]..........................’Activist for Ron Pauls campaign with meet up groups etc... when asked what he wants in a candidate he stated.”Pretty much everything Ron PAul stands for”....also Member of the ‘Liberty Caucus’.
Lindsey, Travis [PAUL]...........................’Activist’campaigning for Paul in Pittsburgh... was called backstage to meet with Ron Paul.
Salorino, Joe [PAUL].............................’Activist’ for Ron Paul.......Educator, musician, organic farmer, publisher/editor of eriecountypatriot.com...activists with Ron Paul’s meet meet up groups.....His quote.....” To share RonPauls message”.
All three delegates in my district listed as Paul supporters are ‘activists’ for Ron Paul. They’ve campaigned for him and with him.
What’s interesting is as I was traveling the Ron Paul Delegate sites how many of their sites have been scrubbed of who the thier representatives are as delegates to the convention..so there was an effort to conceal those three I have listed...most definately they will go with Ron Paul....which is his plan to stack the convention with Paul Delegates, if it reaches that.
