So what were they trying to do? Make everybody leave and announce a fake vote result?

I think the GOP sent the cops to chase the RP supporters outside. The parking lot rump convention didn't go well. Everyone dispersed at the moment. At least 2000 people must be doing a post-mortem on this to see what went wrong. I'll post more info if I get it.

Yeah, right. If at least you are not tired of repeating this "bound to Romney" remark, at least I am tired of listening to it. At the moment, there is still some doubts on how the binding rules work. Even if they are all bound to Romney, we will still take it. Just for fun. OK?

Moving pains, if they are bound to Romney, they are bound to him.

Regardless, I deleted my post because I'm sick of trying to get delusional people who cannot accept reality to accept it.

Yes, thank you. Now please keep your word and stop with the "everybody is bound to Romney" parroting. You have said it a 1000 times and we have heard it a 1000 times. Whether they are bound to Romney or not, we will still take them. We will see the rest in Tampa. OK?

If Mitt Romney has the number of delegates he needs to win the nomination on the first vote at the convention (1144) and barring some unforseen calamity, he will, the bound delegates have to cast their vote for him on the first vote...and it will be over. Period. Done deal. Then the Ron Paul folks can squawk and carry on for the next four years about some grand conspiracy theory and that they got cheated, because the system worked just how it was supposed to in the first place.

Romney isn't going to make it to 1144.

So were they bothered by how long it was taking them and wanting them gone? They were trying to run them off of the church parking lot also, even though the guy got permission.
I couldn't find the site they are recommending for signups for precinct captains. He said the party kicked them out. The woman claimed they are still counting votes in a back room, after they kicked people out with no video.
