Ben Swann update on delegates

An interesting development in the RNC delegate battle. The RNC/Romney campaign have been telling delegates in Maine that rather than viewing Maine as a stand alone state.. they are viewing delegates from Maine, Masschusetts, Oregon and Louisiana as a block.
Last night at 9:45 the Maine delegates were offered a deal. Give Romney 7 slots in Maine and in return the RNC would seat 9 of the Massachusetts 17, the entire Oregon delegation and nearly all of the Lousiana delegates. As of late this afternoon the discussion was on-going but I have seen an update out of Louisiana that a number of liberty delegates WILL BE SEATED.
MORE TO COME...

They don't really want you. They want your vote but not your mind or voice.

 

[randpaul2016]

just being open minded here...are ALL delegates suppose to be seated, orrrr?

 

[Tiso0770]

Man, for somebody that is suppose to have the nomination in the bag, Romney/RNC are still at it trying to get the rest of the Delegates....

Never gonna get it.

Guess that takes care of the "plurality of 5 states to be nominated" rule.

Ron Paul doesn't. But the scumbags running his campaign do. Paul needs to stand up for his legacy.

Ron Paul might not, but Benton does.

Yes, he needs to run his own campaign, it will save a ton of money and be much more effective.

It's not just the GOP, it's pretty much all of the establishment. By provoking the disenfranchised they are setting us up for a true Revolution. In doing so they can justify elimination of the opposition to their crimes against this country.

I hope I am wrong but the evidence is everywhere.

Or just get people who aren't going to undermine him. I've never been a big Benton basher, but he and Tate and the army of political consultants are really selling us short. All the hardwork we've done here for years now is being lit up in flames before our eyes.

Horsetrading on this level should get a lot of attention. Who wouldn't be upset if your state was trading elected spots with another state. Has this ever been blatantly done before?

 

[J_White]

GOP tricks even few days before the conventions. does not surprise me anymore !

 

[AJ Antimony]

You people do realize that if a deal wasn't made then the RNC would just flat out reject our delegates and get away with it, right?
