Clinton, Obama Purge Delegate Lists in California

The Obama and Clinton campaigns "are purging potential California delegates to ensure that only their loyalists vote at the national convention that will crown one of them as the Democratic presidential nominee," according to the Associated Press.

"Driven by fears that some prospective delegates might be concealing their true allegiances, the campaigns are searching campaign finance data, scouring the Internet and making telephone calls to weed out dubious candidates. Neither side wants to elect a delegate who might really support their rival, or other candidate."
