Its the combination of Grecian hair dye and poor video quality. The music is nice.

Chuck Baldwin is the nominee.

 

[UnReconstructed]

chuck baldwin won the nomination

 

[torchbearer]

did Ron get nominated? what was the crowd response?

ok, see baldwin...

 

[libertythor]

Alan Keyes sure did have the video feed cut fast after the results were announced!

 

[Soccrmastr]

Missed it

If Ron would have went I have no doubt that he would have won the nomination.

They voted to strike Ron from the ballot since he did not declare and was not in attendance. From what I've read, though, there was overwhelming applause each time his name was brought up.

My speculation is that if Barr gets the LP nomination, Baldwin will endorse him and call for the two parties to work together. Barr will name Baldwin as his VP and Dr. Paul will subsequently endorse the ticket.

Wow, are you starting that rumor or is it based on something?

 

[Jeremy]

Yaaaaaaa! Is Baldwin winning???? Go Baldwin!!!

Lol, it's wishful thinking on my part. I think a Paul-backed Barr/Baldwin ticket is our strongest hope for making an impact in November, unless Dr. Paul himself is on the ballot!

Did they hold the convention in a broom closet? Or in a phone booth like last year?

Video back up

Alan Keyes sure did have the video feed cut fast after the results were announced!

I've been reporting on the Constitution Party Convention for ThirdPartyWatch.com. The video did indeed go down at a suspicious-looking moment, but it is back up now.

I expect the video server was overloaded momentarily or (more likely) that it was a technical issue as they were moving the camera. The video is back up now and Alan Keyes is trashing Ron Paul supporters at the moment.

Here are the final vote tallies: http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/04/...-the-constitution-party-presidential-nominee/

I'm so glad Keyes didn't get the nomination. It would have pulled the CP closer to the GOP instead of allowing it to stick to its libertarian platform.

I like how the Alan Keyes people called him a "perfect fit" for the CP when the founder of the party (and, IMHO, that makes him best suited to judge) didn't like him.

 

[libertythor]

Alan Keyes would be better for the Reform Party. lol

Yeah, not only is he anti-Keyes, but he is very pro-Paul. I wish RP would have sought their nomination

ron got nominated but rand said nothing til sept

did Ron get nominated? what was the crowd response?

ok, see baldwin...

Ron was nominated but when they called to check rand said nothing till sept which was too late...he would have won if he chose to


my notes from the meeting:

live news from the cp convention.

Chuck Baldwin under huge support by ron paul supporters has been chosen their candidate.

This was done by beating neo con alan keyes by 380 some votes to 120.

Spread the word...we have a candidate to support in general election!
