    Once again, the Murkowski response (none / 0) (#3)
    by Pogo on Tue May 22, 2012 at 11:13:17 PM EST
         At Friday's caucus in the 11th district, the old boy network was careful to not let any of the levers of power out of their grasp. They pre-selected a Romney's relatives slate. Everyone knew going in the results were pre-ordained, and with rules that few understood until they tried to nominate alternate candidates, no one else had a chance. While I'm not a C4Ler, I voted with them just to add to the protest vote.

         At the May 22 (Tuesday) 11th CDRC committee meeting, one of the state committee members announced that Saturday afternoon's state committee meeting (after the convention) resulted in some new rules  on the books. From now on at County conventions, elected Precinct Delegates who are not present will have preference over non P.D.s who are present when it comes to voting for delegates to state convention. There was some mention of them "sending a note" saying they wanted to go, not clear if that was mandatory. This change was suggested by Sol Anuzis, and approval voted by the the State Committee. I guess that "welcoming new blood" thing is out of fashion now, it didn't last long.

         Mr. Carl Berry, head of security for the convention, stated that the police had to be sent in at two of the May 19 District caucuses, over some sort of fracas. He didn't go into details. He also mentioned that in talking with Mr. Priebus, he was 80% sure that the Michigan national delegates that were penalized will be admitted as full voting members.
