Delegates can't be forced to go to McCain. Romney can suggest it but he can't force.

Romney can't force his delegates to do anything they don't want to do if he releases them. They could vote for Mr. Ed to be the GOP and Romney couldn't do jack about it.

how in the word would someone who was going to vote for rommney vote for mccain? if they are just sold out to the party then sure, but if they are conservative at all it seems like they would rather have huckabee or better yet, the man the myth the legend dr ron paul.

My parents want to be delegates to the National Convention, so I might just be able to do that.

Simple, most of then were bog-standard GOP members who just happened to (superficially) support Romney, or supported him mainly because they thought he would be the winner.
So, it is no problem for them to support whoever ends up as the "presumptive nominee" -- because that's who they thought they were supporting from the beginning.
Jordan, I'm struggling to find a state that allows what you're describing. Do you have an URL that the grassroots can reference?
yeah, its just sad that so many people are sold out to a team and have no principles when it comes to politics. its like they are just pulling for a football team.
Politics? Most people have none at all.
