It was an interesting day. The "l"ibertarian wing is mainly interested in supporting Glen, so we did not come armed with a stack of items to try and pass. So instead many of us were getting up and taking sides on regular GOP issues and amendments.

The access-to-home-midwife amendment to the platform was VERY inside baseball. That had passed at last year's convention after lengthy debate. But it mysteriously disappeared from the proposed platform this year, and the platform committee chairwoman could not articulate why. It sounded very bad to the whole state delegation, that a committee would delete something that had been approved at a prior convention, and treat it so disinterestly that it was gone without explanation. So the amendment was returned to the platform by a wide margin.

A few other rapid tweeters who may post updates Saturday.

Not much happens on Sunday other than the NC State Exec meeting. Usually it approves leftover resolutions from the main business, although occasionally some lively debates spring up about internal party issues.

Glen's advertising materials are very professional--it looks to a nice race between him and Joyce (NCFRW) for the Vice-Chairmanship. Go Gunny Go!

A nice full page ad in the convention guide and a bag insert. Way more exposure than his competition. Glossy sharp ads too. Gunny's supporters money has been well spent.

I PRAY Glen WINS, look forward to updates through the day!!!

Can you snap a picture of the materials? I'm excited to see them. Hoping Gunny wins this for us!

Prayers going out for Glen!

Here's Greg Brannon's speech. He should probably consider adding subtitles because it's a little hard to hear.

He really hit his stride half way thru til the end and they really loved him. Excited! Hopefully, that gives Bradley a boost.

@profg 18m Boring, unnecessary @NCGOP speeches finally over at #NCGOPConvention . Time to get down to business.

@profg 9s Finally getting to @NCGOP Chair election at 5pm. Good grief. #NCGOPConvention
