1. According to their website they claim Juan McCain has 1047 total delegates, 977 of them are pledged. Should he get 214 more pledged delegates to have a total of 1191 pledged, would that give him the automatic bid for the nomination?

2. Are these totals correct or just their biased guesstimate?
3. I keep seeing things online and on this board about a rump convention. Can somebody explain to me exactly what that is and how it occurs? From what I've read if Panama John gets the nomination at the convention and a good number of delegates refuse him, they will form a rump convention and nominate their own Republican nominee. If this is correct, will their be two Republicans running on the general election ticket in Novenber?
Thanks. :cool:
