MN State GOP Convention Thread

[Matt Collins]

Seriously. MN should have been a sweep, but looks like asshole Benton's morale-killing strategy worked even in MN. I am not harboring any hopes for this weekend's conventions.

Cindy Westrup ‏@CindyWestrup It appears the RP delegates don't have the voting strength to change the rules. #mngop12

Oh, and not to mention, Rep Bachmann is actually not qualified to be a delegate. The Convention rules that were passed clearly state that she had to appear in person before the nominations committee for an interview in order to be allowed to run for Delegate. She phoned it in which is clearly against the rules.

Marianne I think deserves as well as others of course but deserves many thanks from all of us for her hard work and leadership not just in 2012 but also 2008. Thanks Marianne.

I was running the operations and the on-site war-room at the State Con with the State Chair Marianne Stebbins (fellow RPF member) who is on the floor as a delegate. We have prevailed!!!

I believe it's too late to appeal something like that. This affects her consideration as a delegate and whether or not her name could be included on the nominations report. It doesn't affect eligibility for the position and likely could only be brought up before the vote was taken.
