A selection of Ron Paul.

This guy is so on the money . It's great to hear someone who talks about the issues directly head on.



.It appears that solid strategy and a well-organized grassroots campaign put Ron Paul on top at the Whatcom County Republican Party convention this weekend.

While there are no hard figures yet, county GOP Chairman Chet Dow said it appears that Paul received the majority of delegates who will be sent to the summer state convention in Spokane. From there, delegates will be selected for the national convention.

How did that happen when Paul had neither the most delegates from the county caucuses nor the primary in February?

“One word: organization,” Dow said.

There were several factors, Dow said.

One was that people who had pledged to represent another candidate during the caucuses didn’t all show up to the county convention, changing the mix. (This is happening in many, many States.)

Then, at the county convention, people didn’t vote for a candidate, they voted for the delegate to send to the convention. Dow said some people seeking to be a delegate didn’t state their candidate preference, although most did.

The Paul campaign appears to have created a strong voting bloc, Dow said.

Other strategies that also paid off:

The convention went so long — 9 a.m. to after 11 p.m. Saturday — that Paul supporters dug in their heels, and when others began going home, they stayed and maintained a strong presence.

The 40th District caucus at the convention was small, and the Paul supporters were able to elect people supporting their delegate to all six delegate positions from that area.

Dow said he was pleased with how the convention turned out, and he was impressed with the Paul supporters.

“They’re happy. They should be happy,” he said. “They should be proud of what they have accomplished.”

Here in Douglas County, the Ron Paul people outnumbered everyone else by about 5:1 and we got everything we wanted: All our delegates and alternates are for Ron Paul and we passed every platform amendment we wanted and voted to unbind Missouri's delegates. In short, we RULED.
