What would it take to convince Ron Paul to show up at the Missouri state GOP convention?

I'm not certain the invite came from the MOGOP. In fact, I'd be SHOCKED if that were the case. I'm assuming local campaigns have put the invitation out via official channels...

but if the MOGOP doesn't invite him.... he really can't just show up. I mean, he can't just take their mic.

Thing is, there are multiple conventions per weekend. Strictly rethorically speaking; Which ones are priorities?

Some conventions are spread over two days and he can always do his speech on Friday night.

Isn't that exactly what Santorum did in St. Louis area caucus'? Billy Long did it at the CD7 convention...

Cookies.

It would take chocolate chip cookies. They are Ron's favorite.

EXCELLENT! I'll start baking now. By the time he gets here he'll have a lifetime supply!

but the party LIKED them.....

I'm all for him going, but you may need a motion to allow him to speak or something.

LOL Well I'm quite certain THAT would be seconded. I can't imagine them not allowing him to speak if he came. He IS a presidential candidate...

It happened in Minnesota in 2008. He had to speak to his delegates outside in the rain.

Well that's just not what I'd expect from Missourians. In my experience hospitality is kind of taken for granted here in Springfield. Maybe I'm being naive, but...

I think it would be great if he went. But I think he has been asked to the other places he has gone.

I like the cookie idea, how many cookies would it take to lay a trail to Missouri from Lake Jackson

The Average medium sized cookie is 2 1/4 inches across. It's 706 miles from Ron Paul's home in Lake Jackson to the University Plaza Convention Center in Springfield, MO. That's 44,732,160 inches, divided by 2.25 equals 17,892,864 cookies. NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Chocolate Chip Cookies take 10 minutes to cook. An average cookie sheet is 17 x 13 and an average oven can hold two at a time. That's 70 per 10 minute batch. This makes 255,612 batches which would take 42,602 hours to cook. Divide that among approximately 650 Missouri Ron Paul delegates and we have 393.25 batches each or 65.5 hours worth of baking. There are 7 days or 168 hours left. PLENTY of time!!!
