Romney Makes Delegates Sign Loyalty Pledge
At a party meeting in Arizona, RNC members and state GOP chairmen were welcomed into a private reception with Mitt Romney "only after signing a form pledging to support Romney as a delegate to the national convention in Tampa," CNN reports.
"All three members of Iowa's conservative RNC delegation... attempted to enter the reception but were rebuffed after refusing to sign the delegate pledge. The dispute became heated in the hallway outside, with the Iowans demanding to know why they had to sign a form to get their picture taken with the former Massachusetts governor."
Said one: "The don't trust us. I have said I will support the nominee when we have a nominee, no ifs, ands or buts."

To participate in the 2012 Republican Presidential Primary in Virginia, voters will be required to sign a form stating, "I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for president."[9]
