Massachusetts caucus today

[Aratus]

i love this thread! i hear louisiana did well, too!

 

[ClydeCoulter]

I'm currently watching the Louisana thread, lookin' good so far .....

 

[MozoVote]

Here's hoping that Alaska will also be good tonight

 

[ClydeCoulter]

The Magic hoof is claiming we won LA.....I hope it's true, then we are sweeping....

 

[John F Kennedy III]

So you're saying we have a chance

 

[Cinderella]

Yes!!!!! FOR LIBERTY!!

 

[MozoVote]

Massachusetts has 10 districts, doesn't it? And the 10th is Cape Cod? I would assume that's Romney blueblood GOP out there.

 

[Aratus]

nine after the census

 

[The Magic Hoof]

We HAVE won, absolutely sure. We're not 100% on the districts yet, but it looks like we've won 4-5 out of 6 districts. Everyone is headed out to the HQ now to see Paul speak

Do we need a person on the "Allocation Committee"? Below is something I found detailing more about this state:

http://www.redmassgroup.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=14541

"4.1 There shall be an Allocation Committee which shall consist of the following members: the Republican State Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, the Republican National Committeeman, the Republican National Committeewoman, one representative for each Republican presidential candidate whose name appeared on the Primary ballot pursuant to paragraph 3.3 of these rules and who received greater that 15% of the "final net Republican vote" in the Republican Primary and who is an enrolled Republican registered in Massachusetts, and six Regular Members of the State Committee who shall be selected by the Republican State Chair at its organizational meeting following the Presidential Primary. The General Counsel or his designee shall serve as an ex officio non-voting member of the Allocation Committee.

So, Paul doesn't even have a person on the Allocation Committee that will rule on the certification of the delegates. Do you really see the above group certifying non-Romney Delegates to go to Tampa?"

It looks like Paul has one, I would think they could only allocate the ones the convention picks not those chosen by the CDs I don't know, though.

Only Romney cleared 15%.

Good work today guys! If there was any further proof that Romney lacks the momentum in order to clinch of the nomination, it's here in his own state.. in his own city! What an incredible example.

 

[CGeoffrion]

I was kicking myself all day because I couldn't get out of work to attend the caucus, but thank god my district swept anyways.


Fantastic work all. I feel so much less alone today!

 

[No1butPaul]

How embarrassing for Romneycare -- and the GOP couldn't break enough rules to stop it from happening!

 

[No1butPaul]

It's on twitter that RP won 14/20, is that correct?

19 of 27 by my count.

I suggest people tweet @maddow and tell her about this story. She hates Mitt so telling people he lost his home state is something she will report on.

I'd give it to Ben Swann, personally. But I'd wait until we were sure of our numbers to give it to anyone.

So...... 19 of 27 would be.... what do they call that? A plurality?
