No if this fails we have a head to head vote, our slate vs. theirs.

This is a motion to amend to allow a competting slates. So Naye = bad

No nay = up/down

up/down means we have to defeat it to get nominations from the floor. If this fails we lose

Yeap . . . they in effect turned a 2/3rd vote to close nominations into a majority vote to close nominations.

Screwed . . .

Booing guests is DEFINITELY out of line. ARe we sure it is us and not Romney folks trying to make us look bad? They have done that before.

It is definitely us.

Which is really stupid, it's obvious they have the votes to pass their slate; the establishment wants to go home.

It would be quicker and less contentious if they allowed a competing slate, allowed people 3-5 min. debate then take a vote on the nominating slate.

yes but if it goes to up/down on executive vote we can just vote it down if we have the numbers. If we don't have the numbers then we wouldn't win head to head anyways.

I don't even see where this is significant.

What is the count

 

[RabbitMan]

I think the idea is that if they are merely voting on whose slate is going to the convention, since we are outnumbered it is bad, allows to concentrate their votes as if they were all organized like us. If you are simply voting for individuals...things can happen. People get confused. People vote for themselves. And organization wins. right?

No, if this passes we have a head to head vote. If it fails its just a vote on the Romney slate.

[ClydeCoulter]

So it seems Romney has a much larger crowd in OK?

Sorry to say yes. I hope Arizona is going better.

 

[Lightweis]

How can they vote without a chair being elected?, just reading off chat.

 

[PatriotOne]

OK hasn't even gone to lunch yet and it's 2p over there. We need lunch and a change of strategy.

I wonder also but chair is being fair so far. Romney just has the numbers there. Not much we can do about that.

 

[Tiso0770]

Another one chats....The BOARD selected their own slate ?? They didn't caucus on delegates ???.
