While having the other candidates for the same position being backed by the campaign, if they are, helps you can still get elected. <a href="http://steveyoungforcongress.com" rel="nofollow">Steve Young</a>, candidate in CA-48, is running as an Obama delegate. He has 16 men running for the Obama position and 17 women running for the Clinton slot. He figures he needs at least 50 supporters to have a chance to win the delegate slot. I know nothing about being 'approved' by the campaign. But then I'm not active in local stuff. Perhaps it's more a matter of who to support with their activists in a certain congressional district. I'll check in my district to see what that situation is...let you know. In California, you do not have to be approved by the candidate to run for delegate status at the caucus meetings on April 13.
