Deadline Passes for W.Va. GOP Convention

The 2008 Republican presidential candidates, or their supporters, had until Saturday to add their names to the roster for the Feb. 5 "Super-Duper Tuesday" convention planned by West Virginia's GOP.

The Associated Press previews the situation, in advance of Tuesday's expected announcement of who has committed.

Front-runners Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani signed up in August. The state GOP hopes to enhance that coup by attracting Fred Thompson, who plans to launch his campaign Thursday via webcast.
