I am still mystified as to why anyone would think that the delegates to "this" group will be any more trustworthy than the congressmen we elect, the senators we elect, the governors we elect . . . .
The Concon allows the states to pick the delegates, but doesn't stipulate how. Let's just imagine, shall we, how the state of OH would pick it's conservative delegates. Oh, wait: they wouldn't be conservative. If the governor (Kasich) picks them, they would be GOPe with many Dems thrown in for "balance" and "fairness." If the GOPe Senate picks them---the same senate that imposed a special tax on those evil and dangerous tanning beds---no change. Same with the OH house or the OH Supreme Court.
"Well, the state would call it's own nominating convention." Really? How would that work. Who would chair that one . . . Kasich? DeWine? (who, BTW, is already slated as our next OH governor. You heard it right. The guy who couldn't hold his senate seat will be governor).
And how do you propose to get Democrats to sit home or sit on their hands while all this is going on? GOP is a minority in OH. But I'm sure that MOST of the states would be way more reliable than OH, right?
Ohio would send one delegate.
