I called all nine names who signed for West. One answered the phone. She is a doctor and a Democrat.
She was called by Rachel George, a veteran GOP operative in the state, and told NOT to talk to reporters.
She said she was "embarrassed" when the calls from journalists began.

"I knew I shouldn't have," she told me about signing the paperwork.
She considers herself undecided in this year's general election, said "if someone actually wants to run for president, you know, why not give voters the choice in that democratic process?"
