Colorado state convention thread

[Monotaur]

OK, I'm here at the Colorado State convention. Finding seats now. Starts at 9. I'll post updates as warranted and able.

[evandeck]

Good Luck!

[InTradePro]

Hope that today is a success!

[Monotaur]

Ugh, Romney campaign is putting out multiple "fake" slates that look like the Ron Paul and Christian's conservative slate. Someone also put the Romney slate in the convention tote bags you get when you register...

[revned]

Be sure to tell everyone!

How are they even able to pass out "fake" slates? You should do the same for the Romney people, if that's the game they want to play.:p

Good luck to you!!

Yeah the campaign is on it. They have told everyone they can as they enter. Also wrote "FAKE" on a bunch and put them on the seats. The campaign emailed all delegates about it.

Fake slates ? how do they do that ?

[Monotaur]

How are they fake?

they copied our design but have Romney folks on it

[revned]

they copied our design but have Romney folks on it

I really wish it could be traced back so someone could confront the people in charge. Can you take a pic of the fake slate by any chance?

I wish getting caught conducting these dirty tricks automatically meant disqualification from the caucus and the party as a whole, indefinitely.

Ok so it's a copy of a design - not fake in that the names aren't legit or something like that. Does it say Ron Paul delegates on it and have Romney people's names?

Edit. I saw the pic - not really fake. They just copied the wording. Hey this is politics - It's a rough game, better get used to it :)

The chairman jus asked us all to put aside differences and let all into the party, including the thousands of liberty minded people who have joined the party in recent years and to also stop using terms like RINO and establishment.

OK I'm done for now. Going to conserve battery. I'll post if anything of note happens or when results are available.

Thought it might be interesting to post non-RP supporter views of today's convention.


Kelsey Campbell‏@KelseyCCampbell


Ron Paul supporters are much more organized at this convention as well than other candidate. Using social media better.

Ron Paul is not a true libertarian.

We safely escaped a reading of the rules. With all these Ron Paul people around me, I was a little worried. Glad El Paso brings the real Rs

I am surrounded by Ron Paul troublemakers!

Oh crap. I am sitting amongst a big group of Ron Paul supporters.

Can we please stop this? Argh! It almost makes me want to recommend that we hold our own meeting 2-3 hours before and hand out our slates then. Anyone handing out slates at the door would immediately be suspicious but supporters could play along.

I didn't think any Ron Paul group of delegates would fail to be well-prepared enough to avoid falling for any tricks like this fake slate garbage. Here in MO we go into such events with *everyone* on the team knowing *exactly* who to vote for.

lots of party stuff first. No debate on party platform. Delegate speeches start at noon (roughly). Over 800 delegates running and each get 15 seconds. All bets are off at that point.

Former State Sen. Mike Kopp is the nominee for CO #RNC Committeeman. Great man, great conservative. #copolitics

don't know if they VOTED him or just have him nominated.... don't know if it means anything

[rodo1776]

I assume people are going to run an RP candidate for national committeeman and woman? Key positions and automatic convention delegates. Whats the word on that in CO?

[sailingaway]

don't know. Kopp has been elected by acclaim so our guys seem ok with that.

from twitter he is a Romney loyalist, so I dunno....

the dems are sending over 40 'uncommitted' delegates to their national convention to protest Obama's direction, delegates that COULD have made a difference for Ron in the GOP thank you very much (all their delegates are belong to us too.....) The Blue Republicans are much more sensible.

[rodo1776]

sounds good. How about committee woman. That may be next to vote on?

I'm disappointed right now that Kopp wasn't contested. Anyone know why?

[rodo1776]

Makes me wonder as well. If we have a good chunk of votes and there is a split santo, mitt and us we either need to cut deals with one group and split the nat committman and woman (which maybe our guys did which we will see when the woman is elected) or if we have 50% + just vote our people in. Giving away a national committman spot without anything in exchange is not good IMHO. At least run someone and use that as a test vote.
But maybe there are some other deals cooking so they did not oppose the guy. I'm hoping that is the deal. We shall see one way or another.

We did very well during the Nominating Committee yesterday but that just gives the Romney team one full day to plan a strategy around what happened.

well, we started with something like 11% of the vote and were working our representation up, so our deals may have just used all their energy on delegates there. I know in NV where we were burned by the party so badly, our folks had a more holistic approach, so to speak. The santorum people may not have agreed with us on who should be Committeeman, or whatever.

Not a good sign, though.

Maybe Ron Paul people decided not to prolong this meeting if it is not absolutely necessary. Why? Because we are hoping that Santorum people will vote for Ron Paul and they might interpret delaying and raising points of order etc. as hostile action.....Move fast and smooth since we got them on our side now we dont want to do anything that would change that.....or maybe person that supposed to challenge it took a nap on a chair and overslept that moment.... or aliens turned (hm.... well you dont need to know that one)

[helmuth_hubener]

And who knows, maybe the Tweeter was slightly off, and meant that Kopp was uncontested to be chair of the convention, not Committeeman. If it was really a vote for committeeman, one woud expect the vote for Committeewoman would have happened immediately after, but it didn't. I'm betting (optimistically, but realistically) that the RP people just chose to not contest Kopp as Chair of this particular meeting. That affects the delegate #s not at all: the chair of the convention doesn't go to National; the Committeeman, the Committeewoman, and the Chair of the party all go. The vote for those 3 insider positions may be coming up later, or (less likely) they may not be an item of business this convention.

What about the committeewoman? This is why I suspect neither the committeeman nor woman may have been chosen.

Just a theory, though.

Three more minutes for CO GOP delegates to fill out ballots. At stake: CU regent nom, 21 RNC delegates, same no. alternates. #copolitics

12 out of 36 delegates?

Has there been any clarification on the rule about having a plurality in at least X many states. Is it 5 states and is plurality 50%+1? The early number, which I take with a shaker full of salt, was exactly 50%. I'm hitting F5 like a rat in a Skinner Box.

I am wondering: shouldn't there be some surrogates there for a state convention as big as this? Did the "official" campaign not send any surrogates, like Rand? Wouldn't that have been helpful? Or were they that confident of winning?

Going forward, are they going to have a presence at other state conventions, like Missouri? Perhaps even Ron Paul himself coming? I heard he will be coming to Maine's convention. Any others?

Ron won't be at Maines because he will be at NV at same time.

Ok Colorado has 36 total so how many do people think Paul might get? Over 30? Over 25? Thanks.

I've followed the @dailypaul idea and put a large Ron Paul banner over a motorway in Belfast, Northern Ireland #RonPaul #RonPaul2012
