We won!!!

When the Convention Chairman, Brooks Patterson, came out to announce the outcome, he introduced Saul Anuzis as the next podium speaker, and I felt immediate disappointment, which was short lived...Anuzis then introduces Dave Agema as the new RNC Committeeman, and the room exploded in the loudest, most prolonged ovation and demonstration of the day....We had made our presence felt in a significant way, and the confirmed election on Terry Lynn Land as Committeewoman was almost an afterthought...We had successfully replaced both representatives from Michigan to the National Committee, our message to the State powerbrokers could not be more clearly stated...."Your time is up, it's our turn!"...

Michigan's conservative movement made huge strides over the weekend, and the message is now guaranteed to be carried to Tampa and Washington D.C...As I left the floor at Cobo, a long line of conservative activists were manning the railing behind the delegate area, exchanging "high-fives" with everyone as they left....we had legitimately proven we could beat the establishment at their own game, using their own rules...it was a marvelous feeling...Michigan has set the tone for the national convention, let's hope the nation is watching...

I have helped several times with campaigns in the past; Rick this year, but really don’t know anything about how everything works. I was selected to be a state delegate, but bowed out because I won’t back romney. Does this mean, we will have another choice besides romney at the convention? Maybe a conservative?

"According to two sources from the unofficial "Ron Paul" convention, at last count 31 of 44 delegates and alternates that could be confirmed were Ron Paul supporters...This, if true, presents the GOP a major problem in Tampa regardless of the Presidential primary outcome, true conservatism will be represented at the Convention, and will have to be acknowledged and accommodated in some manner..."
Wow! Have the Paul supporters done similarly in other states? If so the convention could be very interesting this year! ;-)
