Kansas University political science professor Ken Collier says pledged delegates could break their pledge and back another candidate like Powell, but it is unlikely as Dole’s camp controls the convention agenda and most delegates are handpicked by campaign staff. He notes past rulings allow free will, yet pep rally dynamics and a expected 7 to 8 percent convention bounce deter defections.
