Who's that young lady with the light hair and the black suit who announces the tally for each state?

She's lovely!

Good to see you too.

Let Boehner buy his own scotch in his own home town.

He already drank all of Obama’s : )

Things are rarely bad as they seem. I bet this rule change will not have the effect people are afraid of, but we will see.

Who else would have gotten it? You a Paul supporter? He won enough with the primaries. Not sure why exactly you expected a nomination fight. You seem disappointed.

Hope you are right but it does not bode well at all. The crowd seems pretty tepid now too. Not much excitement. And with the Romney camp vowing not to throw any red meat to the base and playing it all sweet and nice, it is probably going to be a real snoozer of a convention....lol

We have already resolved our conflict in the thread. Things have been pretty hot today thanks to the dirty tricks by Romney and the GOPe.

I’m hearing a disturbance in the crowd after a state’s votes are called. Is it Paul people?

Soooo.. I just got home from work to learn that:

Trump has something up his sleeve.

There will be a mystery speaker Thursday night

On the way home listening to Santorum on Hannity who said the rules changes should basically be ok...but according to a quick glance at this thread they’re not ok..

Issac is NOT the end of the world as we know it.

“Well when we are dumb enough to run SIX conservative candidates what the heck do you expect? We are the stupid part of the stupid party. We should some how chose the conservative candidate to run against the GOP-e. If we cannot figure out a way to do that, well expect this to happen again. And do not talk about a 3rd party. If you think that is the solution then the Obama Party will win for quite some time. “

Did any of these people seriously think that they were going to nominate Sarah Palin or Newt just for the hell of it?

They honestly want to be rewarded for f’ing up during the primaries just because they feel entitled?
