Virginia

[eleganz]

We just got 1 out 3 delegate at the 10th. 0/3 alternates. 0/3 for the SCC

There was only one RP delegate running so this it the best we could of hoped for.

So that puts us at 1 away from winning the majority of electable delegates.

Anybody know anything about the 13 at large delegates? then there are 3 more super delegates for a grand total of 49.

I hope the OP puts those figures in as well.

Changed CD08 from 1/3 to 3/3. Also changed CD01 RP SCC from 3/3 to 2/3. I just talked to someone from CD01 who was there and she said that the person who the RP folks voted for turned out to be a turncoat. Jeanine Lawson is the name. Keep the name in mind, CD01 folks.

we should firmly let her know we know her dirty deeds and she will be held accountable, sometimes folks need a lil fear.

[FindLiberty]

Yes, yes congratulations.

And thanks MSM for telling potential opponents that RP had no chance of winning (so they slept-in instead of showing up)!

I won in the 11th! 1/3

Congrats. So CD11 is 1/3 delegates, 0/3 alternates and 0/3 SCC for us?

Any update on CD05?

Can someone clear up this confusion for me?

The Green Papers says this about the VA delegates:

49 total delegates - 10 base at-large / 33 re: 11 congressional districts / 3 party / 3 bonus

The Official Call for the VA State Convention says this:

A. Electing 13 At-Large Delegates and 13 At-Large Alternate Delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held at the St. Pete Times Forum - Tampa, Florida, or its alternate site beginning on August 27, 2012;

Is it 10 or is it 13? Or is it 10 base + 3 bonus = 13 at-large? How are the 3 bonus selected? Are they voted on the same as the other 3?

 

[thoughtomator]

the three party delegates are superdelegates I believe

RPV will select the 10 at-large plus 3 bonus

 

[lib3rtarian]

the three party delegates are superdelegates I believe

RPV will select the 10 at-large plus 3 bonus

What is this "bonus" business? Why are they referred to as bonus?

I know about the superdelegates. Not asking about that.

 

[thoughtomator]

bonus is a reward for voting Republican generally, it's based on how strongly the state votes for President, Senators, and Congressmen.

The RNC rules are essentially like this:

Each congressional districts gets 3 delegates
Each senate district get 5 delegates.

Virginia has 11 * 3 = 33 CD delegates
2*5 = 10 at large delegates
3 automatic delegates: RNC committee woman/man/chair

Now some states get awarded bonus delegates based on how "republican" the state is. So each state with a republican governor for instance gets 3 bonus delegates and virginia voted in a republican governor in 2010, it is really up to the states on how to divide those delegates, but from what i've seen, those are usually added to the at-large slate.

Perfect. Thank you for explaining this. NC also has 3 bonus delegates listed, but we have a Democratic governor. How does that work?

Well i don't have the full picture, but i guess it works on the basis of who gets elected:

Republican Governor = +3 bonus
Majority in the State Senate +3
Majority in the State House +3
Republican Senator national +3
etc.

Ah, the green papers have the rules:

Table updated with state delegate info + CD10 info + CD11 delegate info (still missing CD11 alternate and SCC info). Also missing CD5 info.

So we are going to need 25 delegates in total to have a majority? That's only 8 more of the at-large delegates. PUSH!
