At the North Dakota GOP State Convention, a slate of state party approved, and apparently mostly pro-Romney, delegates was approved, despite Romney coming in third in the state caucuses earlier this month. The convention was very contentious, with Santorum and Paul supporters complaining bitterly about the process. Note that all the delegates are unbound, essentially meaning we will need to find endorsements for each one before adding them to any candidate's list.

Endorsement count:

Romney - 5
Santorum - 1
Paul - 0

Here are the delegates:

• John Hoeven, U.S. Senator - Romney
  
• Rick Berg, U.S. Congressman
• Betsy Dalrymple, North Dakota first lady
• Wayne Stenehjem, state attorney general - Romney
  
• Robert Harms, NDGOP treasurer - Romney
  
• Kyle Handegard
• Clare Carlson - Romney
• Gary Emineth, former NDGOP chairman - Santorum
  
• Joe Miller
• Margaret Sitte
• Delores Rath
• Jim Poolman, NDGOP vice-chairman - Romney
• Kelly Schmidt, state treasurer
• Paul Henderson
• Gary Lee
• Francis Klein
• Mike Schatz
• Carol Nitschke
• Shane Goettle, U.S. House candidate
• Caren Mikesh
• Karen Rohr
• Craig Headland
• Paul Owens
• Jim Kasper
• John Kerian
