Can't speak for Steve (he's a great guy, btw). I'm busy with other things and will be traveling a lot: dogsledding, speaking at the Austrian Scholars Conference at the Mises Institute again this year (3 out of 4 years), Easter with the family, etc., but I still pop in sometimes to post something.
That's cool.

Flattered. Nice to be missed.
I'll never forget when you were telling us for months to become delegates and then the Nevada GOP Convention makes headlines.

Good. Put me down on the record for urging people to get active in their local parties NOW (go to the boring meetings, help stamp envelopes, work with them to write letters to the editor, etc.) to get yourselves better known and established.
Learn the rules and play the game if you want to win. And no, voting in online polls doesn't count. The rules vary greatly by state; discount advice from those (even with "Dr." in their screenname) who claim one-size-fits-all knowledge of the process.
The national convention that just ended last year adopted by-laws that set the national set of rules (in addition to the state ones
) for 2012. Become local experts in your state to prepare for next time. Start here:
http://www.gop.com//images/legal/2008_RULES_Adopted.pdf
RULE NO. 12
Call of Next Convention .....................................14
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: "The Republican National Committee shall issue the call for the next national convention to nominate candidates for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States prior to January 1 of the year in which the national convention is to be held."
RULE NO. 13
Membership in Convention.................................14
RULE NO. 14
Participation in the Delegate
Selection Process................................................17
"(c) Unless otherwise provided by the laws of in which the election occurs, in those states where delegates and alternate delegates are elected through the convention system or a combination of convention and primary systems, the precinct, ward, township, or county meetings shall be open meetings and all citizens who are qualified shall be urged to participate.
(d) Each state shall endeavor to have equal representation of men and women in its delegation to the Republican National Convention."
RULE NO. 15
Election, Selection, Allocation, or Binding of
Delegates and Alternate Delegates.....................18
LOTS OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION.
RULE NO. 16
Enforcement of Rules..........................................24
RULE NO. 17
Vacancies in a State Delegation..........................26
RULE NO. 18
Excess Delegates and Alternate Delegates.........27
Don't say I didn't try to prepare us. Listening to incompetents and people claiming they have tricks up their sleeves isn't going to help.
Learn the rules, play the game and beat them at it.

LOL! I remember those days too.
I wonder if we'll be seeing a lot more of the old timers on these forums when we get closer to the next elections. I personally find the forums kind of depressing these days compared to early on, so I spend more time at other forums instead. Not to mention that I have very little in common with the views of at least half the regular posters now.
During the early primaries this place was like the wild west, though. You truly had the "big tent" mentality, with some crazy characters mixed in with the usual rigid ideologues. It seems like too many folks with slightly different viewpoints have been weeded out. Or maybe I'm blowing things out of proportion. I remember when nearly a thousand people would be logged on to grass roots central and threads you just posted in would be on page 2 or 3 within minutes. Ah, the good old days.
It's fun to think about how some folks truly believed RP would win in Iowa and were then shocked when he didn't. I mean so many were just "true believers". I thought it was a real blast at the time. Maybe RP supporters were so desperate for votes that they accepted almost anyone, or maybe early on they were just more accepting and open minded. But it seems much different now. Here's hoping for a return to glory (and secret meetings with multi-millionaires)!

Bradley is being modest- you should hear what he is REALLY up to. lol.
Are you going to make us guess?
Okay, here's my best shot: He's directing a porno film with subliminal pro-Constitution messages?
