Sneering at Delegates

The Romney camp announces that Oklahoma's National Committeewoman has endorsed him. The National Committeewoman goes to the national convention as an unpledged delegate, so this is hardly meaningless. It's also a good indicator that she thinks that most of Oklahoma's delegates -- 23 are statewide-winner-take-all, 15 are congressional-district-winner-take-3 -- are headed Romney's way. So it's either ignorant or unfair to respond to this announcement by saying "Poor Mitt. This is getting very sad," as McCain confidant Mike Murphy does.

Did I say McCain confidant Mike Murphy? I of course meant Weekly Standard blogger Richelieu. I'm not sure what confused me...
