“This information is given to Cruz bloggers, asking them not just to blog, but to contact these delegates. It isn’t information from the RNC or official Republican channels (in which case it would be available to all candidates).”
I’m from Colorado. Those lists of delegate candidates are all over the internet. They’re available from state and county parties.
If you are a delegate to a congressional or state assembly, everybody is calling you—national delegate candidates, US Senate candidates, congressional candidates, third party groups who support one side or the other . . . . I got at least four robo calls and several live ones yesterday.
The silly season continues.
I always thought that candidates have slates and when that candidate wins, their slate goes to the convention. If that isn't the case, I'm real uncomfortable with delegates who don't feel an obligation to be true supporters of the candidate whom voters have chosen. It's just begging for a third party alternative.
