**NEVADA** State Convention updates here

[Thor]

It is *extremely likely* that the RP delegate slate won. By a landslide.

So unbinding is a huge help, but if we don't get it, we still have lots of delegates for round 2 voting (if there is round 2 voting)

Do not assume this will help us... How many mainstream voters support Dr. Paul simply due to Romney's religion?

OUR folks go to church, too.

 

[EvilNight]

No, I think a bunch just thought it was about voting for the delegates, and don't consider the rules and stuff as important.

Exactly. They voted for delegates. Then went home.

We need to make sure people are more aware that there needs to be a vote to unbind delegates as well, and that it comes much later, and requires a supermajority.

Everyone thank this guy for streaming entire convention:

*sorry couldnt get better snapshot little blurry stream was laggy

Is he a RPF member? If so, anyone know his handle so we can all + rep him

We hopefully someone is making some calls to make sure they get back tomorrow at 9 AM.

Seems like a pretty bad communication breakdown. Unbinding the delegates is almost as important as winning the delegates. I would've thought the campaign would've communicated that.

That guy is a champ for livestreaming the convention all day and providing commentary. I hope I meet him someday, so I can buy him a beer!

and for voting for rules, the platform, the VP etc

But Ron needs 5 states to do business there.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

That's why I keep saying OK and other states better take notes, because I believe Romney's people are going to be trying bylaw change tricks to confuse people.

That would make a very worthy youtube video warning future state conventions what to look for from the opposition.

Wait... did they finish counting the votes? Have we let our guard down?

there was a big deal about whether unbinding would happen or not the last couple days. I'm sure there was some kind of conference call or meeting right in advance, but I bet a bunch of people didn't go to it and just didn't know. How that was resolved -- if it was.

If they're bound then NV can't count as 1 of the 5 states?

 

[francisco]

I just want to say, following this shit all day has been as exciting and dramatic as any sporting event. Except this is WAY better because it actually matters.

Having the Ustream was fantastic!! even with the quality problems, which couldn't be helped by the uploader.

Mods--if the uploader isn't a RPF member, can you create an account-in-waiting for him? (so we can +rep him at a minimum)

Naturally his screen name should be Epic Broomstick Camera Guy

just saw this on twitter, I think it's good:

If you are scared of Ron Paul, you are scared of yourself.

I thought the 5 states were "done"... Is that not what this is referring to:

Thanks Epic Broomstick camera guy.

Epic,

Thanks for letting us in to see the action. And also thanks for keeping me up to speed on what was happening. It was a day that compares with no other. Then again these Epic days are coming one after the other. I hope to see you tomorrow.

That was just another lie by Faux News.
