I think they're linked to the voting. You had to register to be a delegate a month or two ago, I think. I don't recall that well.

Dang! I wish all the states had this kind of process! All the surrogates I've heard speak for Dr. Paul are superb especially because of our knowledge on the issues and our passion! I even do fairly well myself
Well IMNSHO, The caucus system is much more of a "republic" form of electing candidates. Whereas the primary is more "democratic".
The fact that Dr. Paul has done better in caucus states is a sign of our more-energized base.
JC was the guy that spoke on Pauls behalf. I forget his last name but he told a story of his father siting around with other politicians from the area discussing constitutional government. How he had been involved in politics, but never endorced a candidate. He spoke of the real republican party and compared it to the party of today. He hit all of Rons highlights

Tax Payers Best friend
Stong on defence
vote record
Then talked about how his father and his fathers friends would be proud of him for speeking on behalf for Paul. He then told the story of how his ancestors sold the land to the early US government which now makes up Washington DC. Told of how one of his ancestors signed the declaration of independance. Then concluded that he would ask everyone to vote for Dr. Paul.

Someone said the campaign took care of the delegates, but he wasn't sure.
This is the only complaint I have: We are in the dark about so many things and the other campaigns are ON TOP OF IT!!!
In fact, we had several speakers on behalf of the good doctor but several rooms were left empty (just for Paul speakers) because they didn't keep us in the loop. Huckabee and McCain's people were more informed about things then we were. At least this was my take...JC may have felt differently.
Also, the McCain speaker kept telling people to vote for the 'winner'.
The election for the district delegates happens at the District Convention on March 31.
The election for the At Large delegates happens at the State Committee Meeting which is scheduled to be somwhere between April 1 and June 28.
Keep up to date on the Kansas Caucus process here:

You forgot the part about how the founders and his ancestors wouldn't like for us to work for the first 5 months of the year and give money to the government. He actually used the word, 'servitude.' He made one lady cry.... He's awesome!

From this election I have learned that the caucus system is superior to the primary system. It nullifies to a degree media bias and gives a chance for all participants to be educated on all candidates.
lol sounds like a rp supporter got in the position of speaker incognito... lol i wish
Durr vote fer Huckbee cuz he lik fied chikn but he not fat no more yep yep woo helt care portant he know right i saws it on his bebsite vote fer huckerbee!!
Just voted in the Ks causus in Wichita for Dr. Paul!!
Lots of Huckabee supporters there, but also lots or Dr. Paul supporters as well. Not many McCain people there at all ( at least no very vocal if they were there).
The Alan Keyes speaker there was saying that there were only TWO canidates with a "mathmatical" chance of winning, and that anyone NOT voting for either McCain or Huckabee should "not to waste your vote".
Only Ron Paul speakers mentioned anything of real value. Inflationary monatary system, Non-intervention, Illegal Tax System, ect... The rest sort of walked the party line.
Should be a close race between The Hucksters and the Paulitians

Ron Paul in Kansas
I voted in the 3rd district, but I did not notice the person in the shark suit. If someone really did that please post the pics, gotta love it. I heard JC's speech, and it was fantastic. Some people teared up, probably because the picture he painted of his grandfather and his friends reminded them of their parents and grandparents.
I was an obvious Paul supporter in a regular business suit (not a shark suit) People asked me if JC was going to be running for office. They were dead serious. I'll be passing that on to him.
The McCain speech wasn't so good. The guy delivering it seemed to be a pretty good person, but just may not have been quite ready for that kind of speaking. He read a lot of it. I don't mean to pick on him, he probably stood up to help out when it appeared on one else would. Even though I think he supported the wrong candidate, I do appreciate it when someone goes outside of their comfort zone to uphold their values....which is also what attracts me to so many Ron Paul supporters.
Anyway we made our stand here in Kansas, we delivered a good, strong, conservative message and now all we can do is see how the voters respond. I think we left a favorable impression of Ron Paul supporters in the hearts and minds of Kansas republicans. This will give us credibility for our cause in future races. Thanks to everyone who participated.

I went to the Reno County caucus in Hutchinson. The room was far too small (only seated about 150) so they had to do it in waves. Paul was the only one with an approved speaker. The Huckabee speaker didn't show up (for the first wave, anyway). Several audience members spoke for Huck. One was a pastor who implied that voting for your wallet was a sin. (For you Christians it was a clear implication that if you don't vote for the "moral" Huckabee, you are in love with money). And of course, someone (who obviously wasn't prepared to speak) used the "I'm fat, Huck used to be fat, and he can fix our country". McCain sent a paid staffer to read a short letter.
We had good support for Paul but here's where it gets interesting. Approved speakers were supposed to get 10 minutes. This morning they said speeches would be restricted to 5 minutes. One of our keen-eyed Paul supporters saw people taking and turning in multiple ballots (up to 20 in one case, according to him). He witnessed people not checking in (you have to be registered) and just taking a ballot anyway.
There were several Paul supporters there who completed their registration by the deadline but since they didn't get processed by courthouse staff until after the deadline weren't on the voter list and had to cast provisional ballots.
