What is an unpledged delegate?
An unpledged delegate refers to the unpledged status of a delegates ballot, the delegate being selected or elected by the state party of each party to attend the national convention of that party. A delegate is unpledged when State law governing the selection or election of delegates permits a delegate to cast their ballot at the national convention for any candidate (not the just the one who won a district or the entire state) in their party. State election laws of the several states (and they vary) may allow a delegate to be "unpledged" if: 1) The candidate that won the delegate in question has withdrawn from the election after the primary in that state was over. 2) No candidate at the national convention is able to obtain the required majority to confirm nomination on the 1st or 2nd round of balloting. 3) State laws, state party rules, and national convention rules vary on how many rounds of balloting must take place and what percentages constitute a non-majority before a delegate is "unpledged" and can vote for another candidate. Check with your state's election laws, and your parties state and national convention rules as it applies to delgates to determine if you are legally pledged or unpledged delegate.

Why did only 35 people sign the constitution not all the 55 deligates?
It should be noted that only 39 delegates signed the Constitution. There is one additional signature, that of William Jackson - he was the secretary of the convention and not a delegate. Of the 55 delegates, all of them identified themselves at some point in their lives as Christians or, at the very least, Deists. The vast majority were Protestant, most being Episcopalian, with Presbyterian also making up considerable number. Only two were Roman Catholic.
What is an at-large delegate?
An at-large delegate is a delegate chosen by the official state committee members. Unlike a congressional caucus delegate, where a delegate is chosen by their own district in which they reside, an at-large delegate is chosen to represent their entire state based on popular vote. For example, in Kansas, there were 7 seats available, based on the original Feb. 5 caucuses, Obama was entitled to five at-large delegates and Clinton earned two of the total seven state wide. In Kansas, one of the at-large delegates is a state Rep., one an attorney that headed up Obama's campaign office in Lawrence during the caucuses, one, a lady that worked for our Gov. for nine years, one myself, I work to help get our state officials elected to every office, volunteer much time to the party and the Women's Federation, I am a reporter and a city planning and zoning board member. I honestly do not remember who the fifth person was for Obama, after hearing my name read after the votes were tallied, I was so overwhelmed that everything else seemed a blur at the time! I can tell you that at-large delegates normally are vetted at some level by the presidential candidate, in my case, I received a letter of endorsement from Sen. Obama prior to being elected at state convention. I do know that out of 109 people trying to be elected as an at-large delegates for Obama, five of those people did receive a letter of endorsement from the candidate.
