we did not talk about Ron Paul, but at one point the angry guy yelled, "how many of you are Ron Paul supporters?" 0 hands went up. It was beautiful! We actually did have one other person as an alternate, but she was nice and wanted people who had never been delegates to have a chance. So we...

all I can say is we had 2 people walk out of our convention angry. One also threatened us because he was an "elected official" and we disrespected him by voting for our own slate. Ron Paul delegates-7 , others-0

In Harris county we got information from the GOP HQ that the convention cannot begin BEFORE 7:30 or the last person has voted, whichever is later. Make sure that you know the rules and follow them or else you risk having your whole convention thrown out.

You don't HAVE to have your card stamped, but it's just reassurance that they can't try to claim that you didn't vote. You should also get a receipt and a "convention certificate". Mine was blue, but they come in different sizes and colors. It's basically a little slip of paper that has your...

Then he starts up the Ron Paul Constitutional Politics Academy :)

I was there too. It was pretty funny. None of the Peden people would make eye contact as they were running out of there. Meanwhile Ron Paul had swarms of people surrounding him outside as usual. Peden's people had to sit there and watch hundreds of RP people walking by their window. That guy...

my sister's precinct in Spokane County was dominated by RP supporters. All 5 delegates were RP people.

Not true. My neighbors were Romney supporters, but will now vote for Paul. They can't stand McCain.

Shoe polish is VERY hard to get off. You have to scrape it. Rain won't wash it away as long as it dries completely before getting wet. I've had shoe polish on my car for over a month and it's not even close to coming off yet.

My personal opinion is that it is fine as long as it is done very early. Although what the cut-off time should be, I have no clue. I have debated that issue in my own mind often. On principle I would say that it is wrong at any stage, but realistically and practically, there should be some...

If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination, I will either not vote, vote for the 3rd party candidate, or vote for the democrat as a punishment to the Republican Party. They deserve to lose this year. If McCain wins the nom, I will definitely NOT be voting for him. They deserve to lose every year...

I think 3rd party is the worst idea possible. Unless he had a much larger following and his goal was to cause the Republicans to lose. I think they will lose just fine on their own. Plus people are forgetting that he is still running for re-election in the congressional race AS A REPUBLICAN...

When is halftime? When does (did?) the game start? Did I miss it?

Don't lose hope. I used to think that way. Ron Paul changed my mind.

Yay! That's my alma mater!
