A) I disagree. Although I don't like it, it makes sense that a bound delegate is bound throughout the process, including the Rule 40 nomination. Imagine if we had delegate majorities bound to us in 5 states but one state's delegates decided they weren't going to support us in the Rule 40 process...

Here's the new rule as proposed: For any manner of binding or allocating delegates under these Rules, if a delegate (i) casts a vote for a presidential candidate at the National Convention inconsistent with the delegate’s obligation under state law or state party rule, (ii) nominates or...

Cameron Joseph of The Hill reporting on Twitter that the compromise version essentially extends the binding of delegates to the "placing in nomination" process - e.g., Nevada delegates would have to nominate Romney as the majority of them are bound to him. States still allowed to choose their...

+ rep Yeah, I wasn't trying to say he's not friendly, he obviously is. But if you look in the dictionary under establishment, Morton's picture will be beside the entry.

Mr. Blackwell is not a liberty Republican - but he cares about growing the Party and making newcomers welcome. He understands that the GOP has to be a big-tent party going forward in the future. I hope that liberty Republicans in Virginia will remember this minority report in 2016 if Mr...

Does anyone know anything about Susan Stimpson, chairwoman of the Stafford Co. BoS? The blog rumors are that she's going to announce for Lt. Gov. this week, and judging from some of the names confirmed to "attend" her FB announcement, she seems like she's one of ours.

The only race it affected was Donna Holt's, and she accepted the results of the election, so no.

I was there, and I will correct, explain and expand. First of all, I know the vote of which you speak, and I thought the noes had it, but it certainly wasn't clear and the ruling was appealed (when you had rising counted votes, etc). Warren County had issues of some sort with electing delegates...

You're going to need to leave earlier if you plan on getting through registration on time.

Tea Party Senate candidate Jamie Radtke just endorsed Donna Holt, the liberty candidate. That certainly makes things a little bit interesting.

This so hard.

Wrong. All convention delegates are eligible to vote on everything (unlike the NoVA district conventions earlier, I know). Realistically, Blackwell and Terry will get re-elected to RNC because they're institutions, and we've got people on the establishment slate for convention delegate. I would...

Well, he's going well for a while and then I get to Rick Santorum: What? Irrelevant much?

None of the four are liberty candidates. Allen is the former Senator and Governor; Radtke is a Tea Party woman; Jackson is a fiery black preacher; and Marshall takes some of the best parts of Ron Paul [Audit the Fed, 10th Amendment] and combines them with all of Rick Santorum. I'm voting for...

You should be getting emails from candidates if you provided them with an email address (so far, three of the four running for National Committee and Rob Bell, running for AG in 2013 - maybe the emails are going to spam?) - but if you're getting a phone call from this company stating that you're...
