Thought I'd post a heads up here in the state forum. We had our State Convention here in Montana last week and into the weekend. The short story is that our Chairman betrayed us, a very strong delegation of around 47%, and handed the delegate election over to the Mitt Romney camp. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but we are Montana and usually things run a bit differently up here. We're sending zero delegates and one alternate that has little or no chance of being escalated to a national delegate.
Here's a detailed write up of the convention details, in case you're interested:

Sorry guys. We hit it hard, even in the wake of Rand's announcement, and we were just a sliver away from taking the whole thing.
