Maddow: Ron Paul could be nominated at RNC, only needs one more state

[michael6186]

Rachel Maddow just had a quick segment on Ron Paul's plans for the Tampa convention, namely his plans to be nominated on the floor of the convention if we secure enough delegates next week in Nebraska. I'll post a tube in a minute.

Sorry. It's uploading. The iPhone 4S shoots in 1080p so the file is huge even though the clip is short.

It's got 22 minutes left and I'm about to head back to work, but the video will be live at this link eventually: http://youtu.be/AqJQaC7hFjw

Here we go.

C'mon Nebraska. I know Ron already actually has at least 5 states with the legitimate delegates from Louisiana, but this would sure be nice.

argh.... He HAS five states (at least) the only way he doesn't is if they don't seat Ron's Louisiana delegates, and no impartial observer seeing those videos would find against Ron. In fact if they DON'T seat Louisiana I seriously recommend we fund a chip in to create a web ad of the Louisiana video and a cable ad with the link to the longer web ad. Ron won't, but they need to know they can't get away with crap, with US.

Huh, she says Louisiana but ignores NEVADA. Why? There is nothing saying he can't use Nevada for the nomination, they are only bound on the BALLOT vote, as I understand it.

Hopefully 'all eyes on Nebraska' means MSNBC will have a camera there.... Because so far whenever the establishment has hired 'extra security' it was because they were planning to cheat and anticipated outrage.

A cable ad with the best video available. Agree with this.

we have some DANDY video of Louisiana. The text over about broken bones, hospitalizations and being taken away by ambulance don't hurt our case, either.

Ron Paul Could Be Nominated At The Republican National Convention

I hope they will be there. I don't know if it will stop them but they'll definitely think twice about cheating if they see some MSNBC cameras filming.

Nebraska would be more secure, because Nebraska held a non-binding straw poll. I also think that it's okay with Nevada, but Nebraska would be 100%.

Any news about Louisiana? Is it sure that they will be seated?

 

[WhistlinDave]

The "hired security" in Louisiana were there for exactly this kind of thing, to "maintain an orderly convention." And in Nebraska they're saying they've hired extra. Sounds to me like the Nebraska GOP leadership is planning more violence in the name of rule breaking and election fraud.

I wonder if any Nebraska delegates might be able to use a little bit of Louisiana video, some tidbits about the Federal lawsuit, and a little bit of persuasion in order to convince at least some local TV media to cover the convention? Maybe they could entice them by pointing out they may get the national scoop on more bones being broken? (Of course I hope that doesn't happen again, but you know how the media loves juicy bad news...)

Personally if I were a Nebraska delegate I would do everything possible to get some TV cameras in there. And (obviously) would bring my own camera either way...

Go Huskers! Have lots of cameras running and people ready to make a stand. Sounds like you all have the numbers that many of us didn't and can make a big impact. Do us proud! Extra security will not land in your favor.
