Originally posted by Tyrone Slothrop - The Republican Party of Virginia wants voters in the Feb. 12 GOP presidential primary to sign a pledge that they will support the party's nominee.
The state Board of Elections approved the request yesterday.
Those who wish to cast a ballot in the Republican presidential primary will have to sign a statement that says, "I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for president."
Paul Waldman sees this as an effort to tell GOP voters what to do in the general election, but I think it's more an effort to ensure that moderates don't vote in the primary. Spanky, what do you think?

That can't possibly be binding, and is therefore bullshit. I would sign something that stupid, knowing it was an out-and-out lie.
