Quist, with five seconds left, had them chant "Freedom!" #mngop #mncd1

CD 8 is the one where our folks got an official, or official seeming GOP letter giving the wrong address.

They just started voting

“@Jason_Kocina: @eduardo_89 - We have had our first vote, but no results yet.”

 

[Darguth]

sort of Bachmann endorsed him. I saw tweets of his speech and he said a bunch of good stuff, not all. He likes Ryan plan but wants it to balance in 6 years per one tweet (still after his first term, and Ryan's plan sucks as is, balancing in 6 years means it has nothing like Ryan's plan...) so not sure. But it sounds like of the two he's the one we'd want. And Parry was sending anti "Paulbot" type tweets, so at this point I'm rooting for Quist just to spite Parry, whomever he is.

Gotcha. Well I'm OK with baby steps in the right direction when that's the best option available.

the question is, who is counting the votes? I mean, whose chair won?

Exactly.

Awesome > Great > Good >Mediocre > bad > horrible

Rand > Lee > Demint > Toomey > Snowe > Graham for example

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Exactly.

Awesome > Great > Good >Mediocre > bad > horrible

Rand > Lee > Demint > Toomey > Snowe > Graham for example

Quoted for correctness.

“@John_Rouleau: #mn04 adjourns without announcing who alternates are, who dep. chair is or completing voting & discussion on resolutions.”


That worries me, could they unseat the RNC delegates?

jeb ask Jason if anything came out about the letters with the wrong addresses at the convention?

that means we were winning typically.

It happened in a CD in Washington, too, all Paul people were being sent so they didn't WANT us to have alternates and refused to approve a 2/3 required vote to extend the meeting past time on the call. They delayed like crazy so there wasn't time, too.

With the 2 convention sweeps so far today, I think this makes Minnesota Ron Paul's first state with a plurality win of delegates. If the other 2 conventions today also sweep for Paul, it could guarantee majority.

good idea

we still have the state convention, are so many more elected in CDs than in state convention? In any event I'm unfortunately fairly sure we won't sweep all given the party is backing someone else.

Don't count those chickens yet

I agree this all looks good. But remember there are a chunk of delegates also to elect at the state convention. So we would need to get many/most of those as well.

Last time in 08 the party hacks screwed us by putting out a unity slate and sweeping all those state convention elected National Delegates.

I'm just hoping that based on these great results so far that RPers will sweep the state convention as well. They sure are doing an excellent job. Way to go Scribbler and gang!!

I think he's in CD1

Edit: yes, he's in CD1, the "honest mistake" letter was CD8
“@Jason_Kocina: CD1 congressional candidate endorsement process on the 6th ballot now. *That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger.”

Kurt Bills is everywhere today. Spoke at CD2 and CD4 where Ron won, now speaking at CD1.

And if Ron sweeps all 4 district conventions today, that gives him 22 delegates out of Minnesota, already a majority.

I read on twitter that Kurt is flying around in a helicopter visiting all the conventions.
