My vote in November will depend on what November brings with it. I will not vote for Paul just to vote for Paul. I will make my decision based on who is running first. If there is a candidate I like (3rd parties?) I will probably vote for them first.

I can't blame them, I would have still voted Paul had he dropped out.... What percent of McCain supporters would have stuck with him, had he dropped out? In any case, there are still local elections to vote for that draw some people out.

Did something change? Paul is no longer shown on the delegate count that appears on the political front page. NY Times Politics And then its just mccain and huckabee on the following: Breakdown

From the Indiana GOP Rules: There is no specification on who pays the fees... but to me it makes sense that delegates would pay to participate. The GOP is a private organization, they do have to raise money to operate. Additionally, it demonstrates that you are invested (pun intended) in...

It's definitely too late to run....... Though, I suppose it might still be possible if they need to fill holes in the delegation. My county has ~45 delegates allocated (10 per district, 15 at large). According to the local paper, less than 25 people filed. I don't know how they fill the...

I would also like to point out the potential ease of being a delegate to the state convention. When I dropped of my CAN-37 the clerk/secretary told me the delegate races in my county are not particularly competitive. Most delegates are automatically ushered in after declaring, and don't appear...

It's more important that you raise awarness in others. What will probably happen (and is happening?).... First they will advocate it for children. We must protect the kids. Tracking them will be a relief to parents worried about their precious pre-schoolers (understandable, but a better way...

Hey all, I drove back home (2.5 hours from school, during the storm and superbowl; 2.5 hours back in the fog) to turn in my paperwork yesterday. Everything seems to be in order, but I realized I don't have anything from them to confirm my paperwork is filed. Of those who have already filed...

If I remember correctly, I believe he said something like " and when they get in line"... as in when they go through proper procedures.

I'm in the process of filling mine out right now. I've gotten most of my information from the Indiana Voters Site listed above. But where do I get the number for the last blank? "the state convention delegate district name" Is that Congressional District? State Senate District? State House...

Perhaps another good combination to make it more memorable: use a $2 bill. They still print them, but most people don't see them. You just have to go to the bank and ask for them. Main branches are better than smaller ones, and they generally are fresh bills. It will catch a lot of attention...

The problem of your system: you can pay someone for votes or you can physically threaten people who don't vote a certain way. With no stub, you can say you voted for anyone you wanted to, but there's no proof. It curbs against intimidation and bribery. At least that's how I understand it.

Dr No's vote carries more weight when attached to the veto, as literatim said. Also, he gets to make appointments. And thats also why we have to push other candidates into congress, and actively write our congressmen. It wouldn't be Paul alone.

As a note, the email you received quotes from the Indiana GOP rules. I found it on their website, starting at rule 192.
