First off all, precinct chairman was not there, so I was voted Temporary.

Only 3 showed up.

Me for Ron Paul, the other two for Huckabee.

WE were able to vote for 15 delegates, but only had 3. We all agreed that we would not vote for John Mccain, and we had a resolution to that effect.

Honestly, I didn't know what to do, and probably did not do it right, but I'm a Ron Paul delegate.

The odd thing is, my precinct (106) is heavy republican, and light on dems, but dems outnumbered republicans at least caucus-wise 3-1.

I talked to a elections judge and liked Ron PAul except for the War Issue, and he's in his position because since Perry was governor (don't know how that works exactly) and he said he would not vote for McCain. He also said the party is going in the direction, and something major might have to happen (like a revolt in the party) to change.

Had them say they were impressed that I was young (19) and involved, but I let them know, that if the party continues down this path, I will not be a part of it.
 
I feel your pain Im from a Rebublican precinct to and there were only 12 at our convention and at least 250 at the Democratic Caucus. The shitty part was that we got laughed at all the way up the steps. Like fucking walking the gauntlet. Anywho 8 Ron paul delegates from our precinct and two for the others.
 
if we are winning all these state delegates, how is mccain winning texas or is it too early to tell?
 
im looking at the map now; the precints are very very very light on reports.
 
I got three Ron Paul delegates in Texas tonight! The other 3 spots went empty, we were the only ones to show up!!!

I think alot of people must have voted and simply didnt worry about attending the convention.

My convention was the same as above. There was about 15 of us and a majority of them (that I know for sure) were Ron Paul people.


ps... Torchbearer, I did what I could to match the Lousiana results. I am proud to say we delivered Precinct 207 in Texas to Dr. Ron Paul.

:cool:
