MN State GOP Convention Thread

No one got 60% on first vote. 2nd vote in process.

Bills VS Severson

do they have a drop out rule after x ballots for the third place guy? anyone know? This looks great for Bills and for a possible test vote for our strength.

Looks to me like Bills gets it by the 5th ballot if not sooner
 
Hegseth's direct mail comparing him and Kurt Bills.

LOL that literally says "vote for me b/c I don't know what I'm doing."
 
Wow! This definitely looks better than the last time I checked in!

Way to go, Minnesota!

And, yeah, I hope none of ours stay home, that is way too close, particularly since non Paul people might like Bills, too. I mean, heck, the very fact that Morrissey is rooting against Bills would kinda seal it for me... :p

Although, actually, Morrissey gave us some credit, in MN at least, for being focused on what we are doing and not out for disruptions.
 
nels_twincities RT @RonPaulforPEACE: @brianjwise #MNGOP has been hijacked by @RonPaul. That's not MN Nice. @mngop #MNGOP12: If only the rest of the country were so lucky.

shikari RT @EyeOnPolitics: We're seeing the organization of the Ron Paul movement taking over in Minnesota. Heard several say, "voting Bills because of RP." #MNGOP12

brianjwise Looks like #MNSEN race will be a repeat of #NVSEN in 2010. Nominate the unelectable and you guarantee the seat stays blue. #MNGOP #MNGOP12

Victory mob forming around @KurtBills #mngop12

something tells me that rep doesn't like us. I take it we don't like him?

Bills was 146 votes short of hitting the 60 percent threshold required for endorsement on the first ballot. #mngop12

Much better. @TJSWIFT Measured against the Sutton, Rosen, Brodkorb, Koch et. al debacle, how bad could a PaulBorg led #MNGOP be? #mngop12

First we passed rules, now we're suspending rules. America! What a country! #mngop12

Kurt Bills working the floor. "We knew we had a good chunk of support and we got it on the first ballot." #mngop12

Grant ‏@grantosan
All main candidates agreed to abide endorsement, except Bob Carney. “@BatesLine: @GOPrincess If endorse, will there be a primary? #mngop12”

so this would be instead of primary? Good for cost not so good for exposure....
 
RonPaul ∞ ЯΞⓋΩLUT↑☼N ‏@propagare
We elected a #RonPaul Convention Chair, a Convention Secretary, a State Committee Man and Woman. We elected 2 #RonPaul National Electors!

and the old chair is trying to get the treasurer to be appointed not elected because of MN's financial trouble..... so said, anyhow
