The Associated Press said:
Since Tuesday's voting, Romney has added only a single endorsement to his total among members of the Republican National Committee, the party leaders who automatically attend the national convention this summer. They can support any candidate they choose, so they can play an important role at the convention.

Some of the undecided superdelegates say they expect the former Massachusetts governor to be the eventual nominee but, like many Republican voters, they're not quite ready to embrace him.

The Associated Press has polled 107 of the 117 Republican National Committee delegates. Romney has 24 endorsements, far more than any other candidate but only one more than he had the previous week. Gingrich has four endorsements and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has two - unchanged from the previous week.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul lost an RNC delegate, leaving him with just one. Seventy-six of the delegates said they were undecided or not ready to make a public endorsement.

It was James Dunn from Oklahoma:

James Dunn, an RNC member from Oklahoma, said, "It's not going to be easy to defeat Obama. If they can't handle the nomination process, their skin isn't thick enough to handle the big race."

Dunn used to support Paul but said he now is undecided after Paul finished fourth in the Oklahoma primary.

Well, we already knew/know the establishment's tactic is going to be all about beating Obama. They'll push the milquetoast Romney because somehow he's managed to convince them that he can "beat Obama." The pressure on our delegates is going to be intense, folks, and they'll pull out all the stops and use every tactic they can think of to badger them into submission.
 
Is there anyone else around here that remembers the two guys that swapped their votes to McCain for concert tickets?
 
Didn't he have three superdelegates now that the Iowa GOP chairman is a Paul supporter??

And isn't James Dunn the one that the media couldn't confirm as a Paul delegate--that is, until after he abandons him? :rolleyes:

The superdelegates were always AJ Spiker from Iowa and one unknown from Oklahoma (who is now confirmed to be James Dunn). There were never three superdelegates.

James Dunn will not be running for reelection and a Ron Paul supporter, Richard Engle, will be running for the position.
 
who cares. ron paul is a super delegate. Grassroots take over the GOP..get to local meeting and swarm it. we have the numbers to defeat the local GOPs easy!!!
