NV Convention Update - June 9th

[Rangeley]

Going after the chairman right away is a good way to look disruptive and alienate people. Especially if it fails, which it has in places.

And in fact, keeping in Beers had a lucky twist - by recessing the convention, rather then adjourning it, he made it easier to resume as it would only require a quorum being reached, as opposed to going through the process of resuming after an adjournment.

I was told that Bob Beers was somewhat amenable to Ron Paul supporters. He says he was originally for Fred Thompson but isn't/wasn't a McCain supporter, but now for the unity of the party....blah, blah, blah. He is currently running for office and I think he perceives he needs the NV GOP solidly behind him to win out. He also has aspiration for the Governor of this state. Personally, I think he is just following orders, which, come to think of it does not say much for his leadership abilities. Think about it, though. If he would be there on the 28th and call the meeting to order and make sure all parlimentarian rules were followed, he could be a Ron Paul Republican hero. The way things are looking 'round the country for the olde guard Republicans, they will be losing seats and popularity left, right and center.

The item that doesn't make sense about Beers is that he is endorsed by the RLC of which RP used to be the National Chair and is still on the Board of Advisors.
