I can’t find any info on what happened to the MO primaries yesterday. Good luck in PR today.
I heard a bunch of Paultard were arrested at a caucus event yesterday for trying to bully their way in. I haven’t had a chance to check up on it yet.
Lot’s happened yesterday in MO. All 52 delegates went to Rick Santorium. Videos all over on the rumbles with police called in
It won’t be known what happened in MO until June, but I SUSPECT that Romney must have swept those caucuses considering how confusing it was to the Santorum backers.
Missouri was a mess..this is what happened where I live in Barry Co. They didnt go for the candidates but for the delegates. Mass confusion and I blame David Cole. He is state chair but lives in my county.
Confusion On Caucus Night
The first caucus was a messy process. More than 250 people showed up, most planning to vote directly for the candidates. But that was not to be.
David Cole, the chairman of the Missouri Republican Party, told caucusgoers that they would be voting on delegates to attend district and state conventions. Those meetings are weeks from now, where Missouri’s actual voting delegates will be decided. The delegates picked in this caucus won’t be bound to any particular candidate, and they have to be elected in slates.
The county GOP happened to have a slate prepared, as did the Tea Party. But most folks were blindsided by the rules. Cole apologized to the angry crowd that they weren’t aware of the process.
The confusion is understandable. The rules for these caucuses are different from county to county. Here in Barry County, only party activists had seen them beforehand. Frank Hubert, a robust 80-year-old in a blue blazer and tie, was one of many to stand up and vent.
“What we have had happen tonight is totally unacceptable, and it is a de facto railroad job,” he said. ‘Bizarre’ Process Sparks Frustration
As tempers flared, it was clear the room was sharply divided between Tea Party supporters and traditional Republicans. Some likened it the caucus to the US Congress. Ralph Kelley, a retired engineer, backing Newt Gingrich, stepped out for a smoke.
