North Dakota currently voting for delegates

[Tiso0770]

In the preliminary delegate selection, delegates were ranked based on how long they've worked for the gop #ndgop #ndgopconvention #ronpaul

Well...there in lies our problem

Yup, purely an attempt to shut Ron Paul out.

This seems to be the trump card that they are using....anyway around it?!.

Hopefully we get better results

Even if the convention ramrods through a slate of GOP stalwarts, I like knowing that new people attended and witnessed how political parties operate.

5 years ago, I just thought "Democrat" and "Republican" were ideological terms. Kind of like describing what sort of philosopher you are ... Transcendentalist, or Descartean, etc. I did not grasp that these were organizations, made up of committees and volunteers. I figured most of the people at the national conventions were basically "fans of the candidates" who bought tickets to be there.

We need 800+ of those 1500 delegates to be Ron Paul fans.

Simple, you must have enough votes to punch them in the face.

Well that was fun... Even if we got prison raped over the printed ballot. #NDGOPCONVENTION #EstablismentDouchebags

THANK YOU to the grassroots people who jumped in on the original motion when the campaign was slow on the draw! #NDGOPCONVENTION

You've obviously never been to a convention before. We just swept a convention with less than 40% of the delegates.
