Colorado state convention thread

[RabbitMan]

Has there been any clarification on the rule about having a plurality in at least X many states. Is it 5 states and is plurality 50%+1? The early number, which I take with a shaker full of salt, was exactly 50%.

Plurality = More than anyone else. 33% with others at 30%, 25%, etc is a plurality. Majority is 50%+1.

Edit: Oops! You guys already covered that.

This is an important point. Because at some point, Santorum may officially withdraw rather than suspend his campaign, then his delegates could be free to go to other candidates.

Given what Santorum has said about uniting the party, Santorum's name will not be placed on the ballot at the National Convention so his delegates are/will be unpledged.

Do these Santorum people know he is out of the race? Or are they winning these for him in order to back Mitt when he says to do so?

I think they are hoping Santa will be in contention if it is a brokered convention or that a brokered convention will allow either a conservative to emerge or to get leverage. they may switch for leverage or not. Unless we have a majority we aren't really safe, they could change at any time, but we get what we can.

I believe MN has 40 RNC delegate slots:
- 24 from CD conventions
- 13 from State conventions
- 3 from superdelegate positions (voted on at State Convention)

Also, why is the University of Colorado Regent elected at the GOP convention?

Just saw that tweet as well, no clue what it means. Maybe it's the head of the GOP club at the university?

The Republican candidate for the at-large seat is elected at the Colorado GOP State Convention.

But what is the Regent and what does he/she do for the University?
