1. Valid question about Clark's delegates...premature for Dean's.

I wonder who gets Kerry's delegates when HE drops out....sound like a fair question to you?

2. Yes, but Kerry is NOT dropping out. He's going to be the.....

next President you know.

3. How silly of me to ignore the "coronation"...

...I really don't know what I'm thinking sometimes...

4. Ok Back to the subject

Come on you know what was meant. Would you like it re-worded? "what happens to the delegates of a candidate who drops out?"

Better?

[MercutioATC]

5. Much better. Thank you.

6. I think pledged delegates are bound to their original candidates

for the first ballot. I don't think they will get a chance to vote for the withdrawn candidates, though. The convention body will suspend the rules and nominate by acclamation, unless there is a real challenge at the convention.
