Here is a blogger from Minnesota that was on the slate and was anointed as a delegate. Crowing about how he is so humbled and honered to have been "elected" as a delegate.

Here is what I wrote him:
Hey there. Good job on getting on the ballot for Nat delegate. Exposing democrats is good and it sure worked for you. Good payoff for all your hard work.
Well as a former Minnesotan and fan of Ron Paul I am somewhat shocked as to how you hacks decided to change the rules and not have the guts to allow anyone who wanted to run for National delegate.
Maybe I am wrong but I was active for many years when I was younger and more foolish and idealistic and was a dfler and I simply can't ever remember a state or district convention where we did not allow anyone who wanted to run to be able to do so.
I guess you folks are just so worried about not being able to deliver for Juan McCain that you had to go ahead and make it impossible to have a fair and honest process.
Oh well that is the way it goes but if I were you personally I would not be so proud of your accomplishment today as in reality you were not "Elected" by popular vote since you really had no competition.
I mean face up to facts. You got "anointed" due to your blog and that is it.
Sure I appreciate your work in exposing democrats and more power to you.
But when you gain this position by fixing the rules and violating any sense of decency then I think it is a shallow victory and not one I would be very proud of.
But of course you don't see my point.
No problem we got some delegates for RP in Minnesota and that you can not change.
See you in September.
