Republican Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul tries to speak at the Minnesota State Republican Convention - and is denied. His supporters react and discuss their strategy for winning delegates to the National Republican Convention.
Republican Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul tries to speak at the Minnesota State Republican Convention - and is denied. His supporters react and discuss their strategy for winning delegates to the National Republican Convention. Ron Paul’s Minnesota coordinator said Paul is picking up supporters who are sympathetic because of the “less than savory tactics” MN GOP Chair Ron Carey is using against Ron Paul and his supporters.
UPDATE: The rules here are constructed to force delegates to vote for the “party establishment” slate if they want their vote to count.
* No nominations from the floor are allowed.
* If you do not vote for 14 delegates, thus filling the slate, none of your other votes are counted. So if you only find 13 delegates acceptable: too bad, those votes don’t count
* The Nominations Committee put into contention less than double the spots open - thus any acceptable ballot will have several of the “establishment” slate names on it - otherwise it would fall under the 14 delegate threshold and be considered spoiled.
