Background:
Oklahoma is entitled to 43 National delegates, 40 of which are allocated per the result of the March 06 Primary (14 Santorum, 13 Romney, 13 Gingrich). The remaining 3 "Bigwig" delegates are unpledged, but will likely support Romney in Tampa.

What is with the screens? Is something similar to ND going to go down today? I hope not and that we have over 51% Paul people.

LIVE NOW!

[Okie RP fan]

Yea, have the livestream thread and this official one.

I will update when possible. We are taking our seats now.

Pretty much everyone who was walking by the RP table and line were making comments, both good and bad. And people were taking a lot of pictures. That is how impressive our line is.

Go Okie! I'm trying to **will** you guys to victory from WA State.

It's game time! Convention officially opened and caucus praying.

Now pledge of allegiance

So the Chair has told them to introduce the Minority Report as a motion to amend the rules. But they have prepared for the Minority Report to be introduced by a Minority member of the Credentials Committee, which they believe is in line with the rules. On the one hand they want to do as advised by the Chair, knowing that he will accept this process for the introduction of the Minority Report. But could it prejudice the process? Will others call a Point of Order?

Should we do as the Chair (who seems pretty supportive) has asked? Or do we follow the rules as we understand them?

Opening remarks...

Patriot, keep updating, also. It is hard for me to constantly update on my phone. Since you are watching the stream, you can update faster. Appreciate it.

[dancjm]

All streams are down

[Ranger29860]

Did they just kill the wifi in the whole damn building?

[PatriotOne]

I'll try Okie. Stream is on and off for me. Off right now.

[PatriotOne]

Anyone know if Team Paul is nominating Richard Engle for chair? Is that our quarterback?

[PatriotOne]

Stream back on.

[Okie RP fan]

checking on the stream... bear with us.

[PatriotOne]

For those just reading the thread....

Right now the credential committee is checking credentials and there are speakers talking to the caucus. This could be a long process so not much will happen for awhile except listening to a bunch of boring speeches.

[Okie RP fan]

Most of the speakers thus far keep making comments pertaining to staying together and making sure we get Obama out.

The establishment knows we are here in force.

they tend to say that just before they try to shaft us. They then say it again if they succeed.

Don't that just piss ya off!

[dancjm]

We are underway.

Chair is excellent, telling people they can replace him if they want, they can overrule him if they want.

Even opened by saying in 76 Ron Paul was his conservative mentor for GOP delegates, and he got his chance and the conservative movement got its start thanks to people like Dr Paul & Ronald Reagan.

Interesting. I hope it isn't just lip service before they stick it to us.

[Okie RP fan]

I am sure it is all talk. Our governor just laid out their intentions by saying Romney is the nominee.
