Actually, we never had.  PA's GOP delegates are unpledged and unidentified on the ballot.

But we do get to vote on the actual delegates.

I don't understand why we would be disappointed. We do actually have a say; it's just that the race is decided. We were going to go for McCain anyway so why would we be disappointed? If anything, I am happy that we are done now and we get to sit back and watch Obama and Hillary destroy each other.

As a matter of fact, there's now no reason to even show up. You can save gas money that way.

Haha, not quite. I'm a committeeman so I am always at my polling place. Even when I wasn't, I work for a candidate at my precinct. On top of that, I have a political job so I have to be there (even though my candidate is unopposed again).

If anything, I spend more money on gas on any Election day (General or primary) just driving around a good amount of the day. Ironic part - My polling place is within walking distance from my house.

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn today said that even though McCain will be nominee and he'll vote for him, he's not ready to sing Kum By Yah yet.


Only because the two don't get along on a personal level.

Welcome to Pennsylvania... I'll vote for sure, but I know it is meaningless.  Oh well.

We have other races, you know (even though I don't think there are any meaningful primaries in your area. There aren't in mine. I'm actually refusing to vote for three unopposed candidates in our primary).

What other items will be on the PA ballot, or is it solely a primary?

Primary but we usually have a few questions (depending on your municipality).
