WANTED: 1,100 delegates for WV GOP Convention

[gerryb]

Only West Virginia could come up with such a stupid process! This appears to be set up to favor the establishment candidates and the name recognition of their convention delegate candidates! Heaven forbid that the citizens should simply vote for the candidate!

This process gives Ron Paul people an advantage.

Campaign for yourself to be a delegate.. knock on doors, do lit drops with your credentials.. They may select someone else to be the nominee, but select you to be a delegate.

I am interested how can I help or become a delegate?

[buddyaguthrie]

I can't find where to sign up for the convention and it's January, the state GOP website says nothing about it

[Hurricane Bruiser]

I was a delegate to the WV convention in 2008 and can plan on running again on the ballot for Wood County. It was a blast!

the Establishment (including some of our own grassroots!) were successful in achieving Romney's goal, "Kill The Convention" in favor of the "Road to Socialism" method, thus zero Ron Paul Delegates. (and zero grassroots elected who supported Romney's "Kill The Convention")

for more than 500 years Conventions express the will of free people - direct elections by the ignorant masses do not.

The deck is stacked.

the deck was not stacked. the Establishment needed no stacked deck. we defeated ourselves.

That's part of what I meant - why respond to this now?
