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.
TYVM for that info.
Yep! Hard finding info on the Mystery delegates though. Ones a Doctor but I can't find a thing on his political activities if any...,another gal I'm suspecious of...from where I live works as a deeds recorder, but Principle in a million dollar charity in this little city....wonder where all that cash goes!
Well tomorrow I vote!!! And it will be for Newt!
HA! My phone rang off the hook all day with robo calls and such....it's our time!
The Newt PA campaign just sent out an e-mail saying they've identified a bunch of Romney delegates. Problem it is looks like 3 of them were MISIDENTIFIED AS NEWT DELEGATES ON OUR LIST. Here are those changes:
CD 6 - Curt Schroder [ROMNEY, SWITCHED FROM NEWT?]
CD 15 - Pat Browne [ROMNEY, SWITCHED FROM SANTORUM?]
CD 17 - Mary Beth Dougherty [ROMNEY, SWITCHED FROM NEWT?]
I will update my delegate list with all their additions and repost it. Below is their message.
The following is an important message from Teresa A. Polychronis of Delegates4Newt:
Please get this out to the PA Newt supporters.

Have we identified who the actual non Romney and Paul delegates are for sure? This thing is turning into a mess.
ALSO, keep in mind you don’t NEED to vote for the maximum 3 or 4 delegates on your ballot. So, if you’re in CD 2, with only 5 delegates, you can ignore the 4 Romney delegates and just vote for the 5th delegate, who is a Paul supporter. Any vote you give a Romney delegate could help put him over the top into the winners’ column, so if you don’t want to help Romney, don’t vote for them just because you have an empty space on your ballot.
This is great... all they have to do is get to their CD on the list and they have all the info they need! You are too great! too too great!
I’m voting for non-Romney delegates all the way.
I’ll vote for the three Gingrich delegates in my 4th District, plus Ron Paul delegate Elizabeth Roberts, who won’t be swayed by any arm twisting from anyone.
Roberts is part of the 912Patriots group in York County and has sound ideas on the Constitution.
So if you don’t have a clue about some of them just vote those who are for Newt or Paul.
Nice to know you don’t HAVE to vote for the number they say to vote for. Simplifies things if you’re limited on where they stand.
I would be wary of voting for those for Santorum because many of those delegate candidates have establishment ties like Gleason in the 12th and Joyce Haas in the 5th.

So it's down to 2 delegates worth spit in my district.
One more cup of coffee and then I roll myself up the driveway and next door to the fire hall where I vote.
update: Kitchen Table Patriots just requested our votes for the above slate plus Anastasia Przbylski (listing their ballot numbers as:Anastasia Przbylski 18APLUS the following alternates:John Merritt 20A
Daniel McCabe 21A
Ana Puig 25A
Justin Slottler (35A)Not forgetting that theres a Senate nomination to determine as well:Andrew Rumbold (38A)
Robert L Ciervo (32A)
course Im voting for Newt, too - but we know thats only a bragging rights thing . . .Sam Rohrercomes recommeded as the only candidate who we know never voted for Barak Obama in either a primary or a general election. And has a long record of low spending advocacy in the PA House.
CD 6 (Vote for 3)
Schroder, Curt (State Rep.) [GINGRICH]
CD 13 (Vote for 3)
McMonagle, Michael (2008 delegate) (President of Pro-Life Coalition PA in Lansdale) [NOT ROMNEY]
Thanks, not sure who posted that, but he’s not using my updated list in post 65 which has a lot more identifications of supporters. The only mistakes in that one were the Schroder and McMonagle corrections.

Yep....on my way to the voting booth here is PA!
I’ll pass it on! I can’t believe Gleason’s daughter is not solid for Romney.
I wish I had seen this earlier. Glad the record has already been corrected. There’s nothing Mike McMonagle would like more than a brokered convention where Romney was ousted. Mike McM will likely vote Santorum at the convention.
Cool, I will be voting in his district later today and he’s got my vote as does Boyd. I guess I’ll pick Barrilli for the third choice even though I don’t know who he supports.
The woman who sent out the note to Newt’s Pennsylvania mailing list saying those were Romney delegates did not read the Independence Hall Tea Party endorsement carefully. They said all their delegates were Romney delegates EXCEPT for Schroder and McMonagle.

Delegates to the Republican National Convention (all but two are known supporters of Mitt Romney):
...
Since we endorsed Governor Romney for President, it is only logical that we would endorse, for the most part, delegates who also backed the Governor.
There were two exceptions. In the 6th and 13th Congressional Districts, respectively, we have endorsed two longstanding friends of the Independence Hall Tea Party, Rep. Curt Schroder (winner of the Association’s 2011 State Legislator of the Year Award) and Mike McMonagle.
(On the eve of the Iowa Caucus, January 2, 2012, the PAC became the first Tea Party in the nation to endorse Governor Romney for President.)
