Do You Want to be a National Convention Delegate?

[Carlybee]

...'the rand paul campaign' has made it very easy for me!...their stinking political tactics and/or beliefs are ruinous and gd foolish like the rest of the stinking republicrats...so i will be working/hoping that rand gets less support than ron...

...stinking miserable ignorance needs to be punished...certainly not rewarded...

Did you support Ron?

 

[Carlybee]

Republicans are as corrupt as the day is long. I was a county delegate once. That was enough, and we have video proof of what we saw.

(..yes..he is only 'national politician' i have supported in some 35 years...i am FAR from a completely enthusiatic supporter like my wife and several good friends...but i saw an opportunity to embarrass the stinking republican party so i became a republican caucus delegate (proudly, one of 'the 1118') in 2012 in maine...

...btw, i have never heard such a howl!! of delight in maine when we won the floor/chairmanship by 4 votes...what great fun it was to see the horrified looks on the faces of the tired, old, stoooooooopid, mainstream romney republicans!...

...i'd like to do it again sometime..heck, i think i'd do it for jesse ventura even if he 'went republicrat'..but NO WAY FOR RAND...rand has chosen the tired, old, stooooooooooooopid republican way!..YUCK!!

Well, unfortunately for SC, it is a winner take all primary state and there is no Caucus. Unless Rand wins, you're bound to vote for someone else.

Yes, however it is still worthwhile to run... even if for a different candidate. Remember, the chances of a brokered convention have increased with the new rules the Romney campaign backdoored in last election. In a brokered convention you are free to vote for any candidate who has won eight or more states. (It used to be five.) We do not want establishment types to have these votes. Always look at the big picture and never get discouraged.

You have a great point there!Personally, I wouldn't want to show up and spend time and money to attend the RNC, which would pretty much end up being a Republican party rah-rah commercial.

But if we are very close in delegate totals, it would make sense to go.

Currently polling shows that no candidate may have a majority of delegates from eight states. I highly suggest we still persue delegates. Keep watch here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statew...Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2016

This is a good page to point someone to if they are interested in becoming Delegates. It's actually really important!

Become a Rand Paul Delegate!


"It’s actually fun to become a Delegate! But what does it take?
First, you need to dedicate an evening of your time at Caucus to become an elected Delegate.
What you need to know is the Time, Date, and Location of your Neighborhood precinct caucus.
Each state and county has their own rules for selection..."

Do we know if Rand's campaign is still secretly pursuing this option?
If so, I may have to swing my support from Vermin Supreme, to Rand...

That's ok. The important thing is that you vote.

Almost a year ago, and you were still being an encourager to vote.
It's so fantastic you have been consistent.

Voting is timeless. It was around long before we were here, and it will be around long after we're dead.

Because its beautiful, and efficient.

I'm sure people here would like to be delegates. Whether they will let them is another thing. The Maine delegation wasn't that long ago. Ideally, I'd see delegates being chosen more if they were already a part of the Party process leading up to this point. Let's not forget how often longstanding members make the valid and correct claim that younger folks only show up when it's to benefit their candidate and rarely appear at other events.
