Colorado state convention thread

It's eerily gone quiet.

Stop, you're scaring me. LOL.

They're guessing they won't have results until after 5:00 PM. Eastern or mountain?

Huge cheer when candidate says biggest donors to Ron Paul are military. Says biggest donor to Obama, Romney is Goldman Saches. #copolitics

#cogop's Ytterberg -- no estimate when there'll be RNC delegate results. But says likely after 5pm. #copolitics

CO RNC delegate hopefuls get 15 seconds each. That's 3 1/2 hours if every candidate takes the time. #copolitics

I was just about to comment that there's hardly a point to making a 15 second speech, but I guess you can say a lot more than I thought in 15 seconds.

And who knows, maybe the Tweeter was slightly off, and meant that Kopp was uncontested to be chair of the convention, not Committeeman. If it was really a vote for committeeman, one woud expect the vote for Committeewoman would have happened immediately after, but it didn't. I'm betting (optimistically, but realistically) that the RP people just chose to not contest Kopp as Chair of this particular meeting. That affects the delegate #s not at all: the chair of the convention doesn't go to National; the Committeeman, the Committeewoman, and the Chair of the party all go. The vote for those 3 insider positions may be coming up later, or (less likely) they may not be an item of business this convention.

LOT'S OF CHEERS FOR RON PAUL. Cheering of END THE FED

 

[evandeck]

Judging by the cheers as RNC candidates give their speeches Ron Paul folks will outdo the Romney folks. #copolitics

tweeted back that I hope so, but young lungs are stronger....

Frankly I'm not sure Mitt's people know how to cheer.

(I didn't tweet the last part.)

We should be scared and on high alert all the time. Don't want the hunter to become the hunted

The fact that they came into the convention passing out a fake slate of delegates for us to select from shows the fear of another Paul victory.
