WASHINGTON state gop convention thread STARTING 5/30 (LIVESTREAM May31-June 2)

[AmericasLastHope]

so that could be a pretty loose number, or not, who knows?

"according to one source familiar with the campaign's internal delegate count." Interesting, thanks.

The #ronpaul table at the #wagop convention is at the far far end of the exhibit hall. #unfair :-( http://t.co/xqlD9D6V

for some reason this guy's tweets aren't showing up in the #wagop stream, so if you want to see them on your own, you had better follow him. https://twitter.com/#!/BYUfan

Anyone here at landmark convention center for the preconvention party?

 

[sailingaway]

Some people on twitter are, but I don't know any here are. Someone posted in the Washington forum this morning. Assuming that wasn't you, they left a way for themselves to be contacted there.

Paul organizers look beyond #WAGOP convention, urge delegates to "go forward out of Tacoma to remake the Wa. St. Repub. Party" #waelex

this is at the pre party. The Mittster is having his in a hotel somewhere.

Wish I could have been at the party. My friend didn't want to go drink today though.

from the pictures they are tweeting it looks like they are listening to campaign speeches, very dry. However, there was mention of pizza....

best to get an early night though, you might be up until dawn the following day.

this guy is playing foursquare and every check in counts..... he just extended his time as mayor with this one....

He is a Romney supporter, at least he was at the Romney rally, not Paul's.

 

[lib3rtarian]

Did Michelle Obama set the menu?

 

[sailingaway]

I think our guys are still at our rally, and I heard about pizza. This must be Romney's food.

bump for tomorrow

 

[jtwing85]

I'll break the news now before everyone gets upset when it doesn't happen tomorrow, the plan is to not replace the chair. I'm not happy about it, but it looks like Kirby "Sit down and shut up" Wilbur will be chairing the WA state convention.

 

[paulbot24]

Oh %@#$. He sounds like a handy crafted tool. Can you tell us why you're not replacing the chair? Lack of numbers or is it all part of a master plan?

 

[jtwing85]

I'm guessing that we don't have the numbers since they said the Paul campaign talked to the Romney campaign concerning the 10 At-large delegates and proposed splitting them proportionally to match the straw vote. The Romney campaign declined.

 

[staobrof]

No one will know

No one will know how many delegates we really have until we see who shows up tomorrow and the alternates are seated. Thats how they got their overwhelming numbers in Minnesota.

To me that don't make sense not to replace the chair? The only reason not to is to not show are hand to quickly. If this chair is as bad as people say. I would be first to the podium to replace the chair whether the numbers are there or not.

 

[anewvoice]

Good luck to WA, one of my colleagues is speaking today I believe!
