The really funny thing is the Paulbots were unable to nominate a candidate to run against him. According to the Republican Party of Texas rules, if a senatorial district delegation nominates a female candidate for chairman, that same senatorial district must nominate a male candidate for vice-chaiman or viceversa. Paul Perry only got nominated by 3 out of 32 senatorial districts. My district nominated Tina Benkiser by an overwhelming margin, so the Paulbots didn't have a male candidate they could nominate. Dr. Robin Armstrong was unopposed on the floor of the general session. I joked with one of the members of my county delegation that it would really be difficult if the DemocRATS had a rule like that for nominating their chairman and vicechairman. How many genders would they recognize and how would they determine the gender of the the candidates?
Whoops, I just realized, the Yahoo! search option pulled up a thread about the 2006 Republican Party of Texas Convention not the 2008 convention.
