Thank you for responding to the factual story in the OP, instead of attacking the messenger, Ms. Maddow.Aren't delegates generally asked to pledge support in advance? Why is that supposed to be news? Personally - I think parties should get rid of delegates. Why should an elected official's vote in the process count more than thousands of people's of votes (let alone one person's vote)? And that's on both parties.
Not all delegates are pledged, in fact according to RNC rules none of them are. In MA they know that the delegates are Paul supporters and they are supposed to be bound to Romney but because the RNC rules trump the state rules they are not in fact bound. Unless they sign this pledge. Watch for legal battles galore this summer.
Oh and we live in a republic which means we elect representatives to vote in conventions. Those that get involved have more of a say than those that don't. Everyone has the right to get involved and have more of a say but most would rather not so they get what they get.
Paulbots aren't real republicans, they are like a cult subset of republicans.
