Whats the feeling on the ground? Do we have a good shot?

[sailingaway]

We shall have to see. They shut down the party chair election because they figured we would win it, by having the chair not leave early, after all, so he can't run for committeeman.... so that bodes well, but on the other hand, those in our coalition who were going in part because of that contest no longer have it to draw them. Dunno. Cross your fingers!

[phyregold]

That post confused the hell out of me

Is the "so that bodes well" sarcasm?

And have it to draw them...


Sorry I tuned out and trying to get caught back up

Well that takes one delegate away how many do we got to win?

Well, actually, the commiteeman post is also a delegate vote and the current chair can't run for it now, so if we pick that up it is a wash. But we won't control the party at least until next year's election of a new chair now (we now apparently have more than half of the state committeemen, per one account.)

18/35 for a majority

[sailingaway]

Does that 35 include the automatic delegate votes for chair etc?

[sailingaway]

Nebraska 32 3 35 10 base at-large / 9 re: 3 congressional districts / 3 party / 13 bonus

how are the '13 bonus' selected?

looks like they just changed the rules in May: http://negop.org/about/constitution/

[CPUd]

I think so, from greenpapers, it shows 32+3

10 + 13 bonus are at-large
3 x 3 per CD

I don't know for whom we are rooting.

[phyregold]

Yikes what do you think the shot is? 50/50.

[sailingaway]

dunno, but the establishment is hiring extra security 'in case we cause trouble' which so far has only happened when we had the majority and they were counting on cheating.

[phyregold]

We dont know any members on the forums arhat are going. Do you think we have the numbers?

[eleganz]

If we get a bunch of people showing up outside of the convention pretending to be media and curious onlookers, we might be able to prevent full out fraud and physical altercations by the GOP and their goons with the thought that maybe their B.S. might make the actual news.

[sailingaway]

We know some members but we don't want them spilling sensitive information, so we don't ask them

[phyregold]

I understand I just know leading up to the LA caucus there was a to of forum buzz. Not so much now

They learned from past mistakes, I suppose.

[sailingaway]

[phyregold]

In Louisiana we dominated the caucuses and delegates were on slates, so everyone knew who and how many we had. For all the other conventions we have had to wait until the voting started to know for sure if we had the numbers.

[phyregold]

We have no clue of the slates. Just we know one delegate is down for the chairman?

[sailingaway]

there are three automatic but I think two of those haven't yet been elected (committeeman and committeewoman). So that is all I personally know. There are others here who would know more, but I'm not asking. I am sure they will tell us what they can.
