This weekend, the RNC, via Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster offered a "compromise"... take a look:

1. A majority of the delegates sign a statement agreeing that, if Ron Paul is not on the ballot, they will vote at the Convention for Mitt Romney.

2. Instead of Brent Tweed, Charlie Webster or Paul LePage would serve as the spokesperson for the delegation and announce the votes cast for president. That spokesperson would also handle all media on behalf of the Maine delegation.

3. There will be nothing negative said about Mitt Romney or positive said about Obama (especially to media).

4. The Delegation will be admitted to the Convention, and to all committee assignments, without barrier.

5. The Contest brought by Jan Staples and Peter Cianchette will be withdrawn.

hold tight.

None of those requirements are in the rules.

How can they project what the credentials committee will find? Are they just a rubber stamp or something? /sarcasm

RNC says, "We don't like the legally seated delegation of Maine. Assimilate to our will, or perish."

Holding. It's a battle up here.

Another message coming in from the GOP:

Wow...the RNC must be absolutely scared shitless to resort to this.

Compromise? We don't need no stinckin' compromise. Can you not tell where my hand is, senor? You don't want me to squeeeze

[sailingaway]

the delegation head is the only one who gives the votes that is an absolute NO imho and saying you'll vote for Romney if Ron is off the ballot begs the question of how could Ron be off the ballot since he has more than 5 states -- unless credentials committee cheats.
