    that is astroturf, I wouldn't worry about that dude - I bet $100 he was a con sent in to rattle folks cages.

    I have to laugh about Luis Fortuno though - never really impressed with the guy.

      I know in my district/precinct, if a person was an pledged Obama delegate or Clinton delegate and they overturned the will of their voters, they would immediately be a pariah and persona non grata in the local party.

      And what kind of person is such a loyal supporter that they become a pledged delegate and then are so easily swayed by such a trumped-up media "controversy"?

        We'll be there tomorrow. My husband and I won't be switching and I will report back on Saturday night on this site IF I see anyone switch. There aren't many Hillary delegates in my precinct (4104), so I wonder how many will show up tomorrow.

        I wouldn't worry too much, but there are concerns.

          Bill and Hillary discount the caucuses and "unimportant" yet they are spending every waking moment trying to snag Obama's delegates in the TX caucus convention.

          Again, you can't have it both ways!  I plead with all those in TX to hang in there and stay on track.  We need to have a strong showing of support among the caucus goers to PROVE that OBAMA is still strong..despite all the negative press via the MSM...

          Again, PROUD TO BE CNN FREE (for a week!)...There is lots of good stuff on Animal Plant and the Discovery Channel!  JOIN ME WON'T YOU????

            because I never (well, rarely) watch CNN anyway...but Discovery Home Channel rocks. :) (Getting lots of good ideas if/when I'm ever a homeowner instead of renter.)

    •  Maybe a larger ploy (1+ / 0-)

      Couple this with Clinton's insistence that pledged delegates are free to vote however they wish.  If a narrative is created that a bandwagon to this effect has begun, it benefits Clinton's attempt to muddy the waters.  So I'm with you that the call was likely just a put on.

      Fortuno unfortunately will be the next Governor of Puerto Rico. It was Gov Anibal Acevedo-Vila who was charged.
