WOW at least 6 voting delegates out of 30 in Michigan when we supposed to get zip, natta, zero!!!! Great job!!!

Any more delegates (at-large) to be voted on today???

#MIGOP incumbent RNC reps Anuzis and Hughes go down to defeat at state party convention. Both served party well. Congrats Land and Agema.
 
1 just got back from the convention. We did very well against a hardened and established group of people. In my district we took nearly half of the delegates and alternates, and this was with very influential people leaning on us. All in all I believe we have 25 delegates/alternates we are sending to Tampa at the last count; that number could be very different now. I give a lot of credit to the leaders that stuck with it, nobody expected anything form us and in the end we came out with a victory.

Not only did we take some delegates, but Anuzis was defeated as committeeman.

We all consider this a victory, and even shocked a lot of Romney people. For future conventions I cannot stress how important it is to have alternates show up and vote. I was number 14th alternate and was elevated. Many counties didn't have enough delegates and alternates combined to fill all their positions.

Yep, got more dels than I ever thought we would and taking out Saul was the icing on the cake. I bet his ego took a shot across the bow, and he knows it's purely payback for all his dirty tricks. Didn't want Land to win since she supports RFIDs in our licenses but you can't win em all. Now, Mich folk just need to make sure all of their incoming PD brethren show up at the next state convention in Jan and we take out the trash.

This is my interpretation. Correct me if I am wrong.
Michigan originally had 59 delegates but because they were penalized for moving their primary up, they now only have 30 delegates. There were 2 at-large delegates, and 28 "voting" delegates in CDs. The penalized delegates comprise another 14 delegates that are "non-voting".

In the districts where Santorum won (e.g. CD1), delegates are free agents, while in the districts where Romney won, delegates are likely bound to him (e.g. CD9).

In CD1, we got all 3 delegates (free agents b/c Santorum is out). 2 of them are voting, while 1 is not voting. We also got 2/3 alternate spots.

In CD2, we got all 3 delegates (free agents), while Romney got the alternates. Once again 2 of them are voting, while 1 is not.

In CD9, we got 2/3 delegates, and they are both voting delegates. However, since Romney won this CD, they may be bound to him.

What is the function of a non voting delegate?

The state was penalized for moving their election/caucus date, so 1/2 of their regular number of delegates were excluded. They elected non voting delegates to fill those "removed" slots just in case they can get it overturned. Is that correct everyone?
 
"Anuzis was defeated as committeeman. "

Ahh Saul Anuzis...remember when you tried to get Ron Paul banned from all GOP debates five years ago?

Well, I hope you love eating cold cuts because you know what they say about how to best serve revenge.

Take heed all those who wish to screw us...you may wind up like Saul.

Geez, and they complain about us wrecking their party? What kind of party can't get people to go to their conventions? Sick ones I think.
 
So do we have a final count of the delegates Paul won yet? If not how many have been secured so far?

chipin so we can send him 12 dozen black roses!
 
In all seriousness, what Michigan showed today is regardless of what the powers that be may say or don't say, we carry on to the end no matter what. I'm sure our presence surprised the Romney people who must have thought we would all go away after hearing what they wanted to hear from the campaign. Others may ready to give up, we aren't and in the end that's what counts.
 
amen!
