The American Spectator
by G. Tracy Mehan III
"Yesterday morning I spilled coffee all over my suit when I spied the
following tidbit in the paper (Washington Post, 11/28/07, page B2):
'Loyalty Oath Will Be Required.' It seems that the Republican Party of
Virginia, home to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, has prevailed on
the State Board of Elections (SBE) to mandate that GOP primary voters
must 'sign an oath swearing loyalty to the eventual GOP ticket.' All
who apply for a GOP primary ballot must 'vow in writing to vote for
the Republican presidential nominee next fall.'" (11/29/07)
