[QUOTE="Clay, post: 1848120"] this is what I was actually looking for. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2012[/url] State Delegation Each delegation are made up of up to three kinds of delegates. Party members, delegates from the congressional districts and delegates from the state at-large.

Some delegates are only morally bound, meaning that they are allocated to a candidate or elected on his ticket but are not legally bound to vote for him.

Ten delegations (†) have chosen to bind their party leaders to the result of the allocating event instead of leaving them unbound [/QUOTE]
