Flipper:  This diary was originally a comment I made and I was asked to diary this to make it more visible.

Virginia will begin the process of electing city and county delegates to congressional district conventions and the state convention, in April.

National convention delegates that were allocated based on the results of the Virginia primary on February 12, 2008 will be selected at congressional district conventions.

For those of you who are Obama supporters and who are elected as local delegates in April to go to your district and state convention, you will vote at your CD convention to determine who represents you in Denver.  At-large delegates allocated based on the primary results will be elected at the state convention.

Please be sure that the individual(s) you vote for agree to support Obama on as many ballots as it takes for him to secure the nomination.  In addition, have them commit to you that they will vote with the Obama campaign on any rules and credentials floor votes.  And get their committment in writing.

Are Delegates in Denver Pledged? (Flipper - 3/16/2008 12:56:19 PM)
Considering my comments above, I thought this article from Newsweek was timely.

I keep wondering why Clinton would go this way. (Randy Klear - 3/18/2008 1:49:59 AM)
If it gets down to it, does she really, really, really think her delegates will be more loyal than Obama's? Or that Obama can't, or won't, organize a delegate switching effort as effective as her own?
