Virginia

hmm, I was just told by someone on the dailypaul that we got 0/3 in the 5th. Where did you get your numbers?

Official site says we won 17/33 delegates, so I'm guessing that we didn't win any in CD 5.

All 3 SCC seats were won by a slate supported by both the liberty and Cuccinelli (our AG, running to be next Governor) factions.

How do you live with that one term limit thing? Or is it actually a good thing?

How are delegates to the state convention picked? Is this like MA where we can't really expect any of the 13 picked by the state, or is there opportunity for participation at the state convention level as well?

I feel that we might get 4 or 5 at a minimum, unless we control the committee, in which case 13/13.

We need five states to nominate Ron on the floor so he gets a speech on his own strength, not as a concession, and it is unfiltered, unedited Ron Paul. So it is the number of state pluralities which means majorities pretty much as things work out. So, not counting the credentials challenges I am sure we will have everywhere, Ron so far has Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota and Nevada majorities (NV is bound partly bound for the first vote on the ballot, but the nomination is a separate vote) Iowa would be five, even not counting our 'coalition' states such as CO where Santa folks are supposed to vote for Ron. This isn't a number of delegates thing but a control of states thing.

Then with six states we can bring and second motions and open issues and policies up for debate by the body. We should have coalitions on various issues even if we don't have six states, because we have a few more states where we have a LOT and only have to sway a few people our way on an issue to control the vote of the state to second a motion.

So we can do business there for the first time since 1976.

So we want Iowa, which is also this weekend, and the establishment there is trying to undermine that majorly, so we need to be on our toes.

We did well in Virginia, but that was in the cds, a big lump are determined by the state convention, which is harder for us. We'll see. We are certainly rooting for our delegates!!

Someone at Daily Paul posted this:

The slate was just voted through. John Tate and Christopher Stearns were both chosen. based on information given by Chris Stearns relayed to me,, itll be 5 paulers and 2 conservatives. Should be a majority when this is combined with what we won at the district conventions.

If we won 7 today, then that gives us 24 out of 49. We need 25 for a majority.
