I understand that as many Ron Paul supporters as possible need to start looking into how to become delegates as soon as possible and then attend the Republican convention held in St. Paul, Minnesota Sept 1-4, 2008. But I have a few questions someone might know the answers to.
(I have been reading the info on this site:
http://www3.webng.com/ronpaul/becomedelegate.html)
1) How are delegates determined to be "delegates not bound"? This seems pretty important to me, because delegates not bound can vote for whom they like since they are not bound to a precinct/district's winner.
2) There are 2,488 delegates that attend the convention:
Of those, the states get 1,605 – 3 per each senator and congressional member and another 50 got to the various territories. How are the rest divided up? At the bottom of the page there is some more info but my numbers still didn't come out.
3) Does anyone know which state has how many of the bonus delegates? Is that information anywhere?
4) I assume our vote is made public so that if we don't vote for the candidate our precinct/district chose, we would be sent packing and the alternate delegate would take our place. Is this correct?
