Did you know Rep. Joe Trillo is a Republican superdelegate?

State Rep. Joe Trillo is more than just a staunch advocate of building a casino at Quonset Point. He’s also a so-called superdelegate to the Republican National Convention.
Trillo is one of three GOP superdelegates from Rhode Island, according to DemocraticConventionWatch.com, which tracks such things. And he’s the only one who has thrown his support behind a candidate: Mitt Romney.
Rhode Island’s other two superdelegates - former party chairman Mark Zaccaria and former state Rep. Carol Mumford – haven’t announced their endorsements yet, the site says.
Update: Tim White correctly suggested that the second superdelegate slot is for the party chairman, not Ken McKay himself, which means that vote now belongs to his successor Mark Zaccaria – a Romney supporter. (The guys at DemocraticConventionWatch.com now say the same.)

Joe Trillo is RINO, he has as much pull at the convention as the congressional delegation from Rhode Island. Joe has no clue what the public wants, he is desperate for funding for Rhode Island. It is time for the elected officals to look at what will bring high paying private sector jobs not keep adding more people to the roles of patronage and government jobs. Out of the 150 or state elected officals he is about 90 of 150 that needs to be replaced.
Can’t wait to see the cruise ships breaking through the ice to get the casino and golf course thanks to the vision of blowhard Joe.
ROMNEY? C’mon Joe, you’re a good guy in my eyes, your support of animal rights and just causes is appreciated. But don’t you think Ron Paul would better represent your (my) views?
Joe Trillo for Governor! and wish he would FOREVER replace Matt Allen on the radio.
Chairman Zaccaria told RI Public Radio that he supports Romney
