Never been a fan of quotas.

I wasn't aware that Arkansas requires the campaigns to provide their delegation plan.  I just assumed that those were selected by the state convention.

I don't even see why the AR Dems feel the need to go through the trouble.  Who cares if a few delegates vote Wolfe's way?  Obama already has the nomination locked up by a substantial margin in the delegate count.

They want the symbolism of a unanimous vote by the delegates in Charlotte.  It always looks bad when the incumbent President doesn't get that.

I guess that makes sense, but I just don't see how that would really impact much come the election.  If anything, all of this delegate nonsense from both parties is just going to polarize them even further.
