Nevada Republican Convention

The convention has been scuttled altogether in favor of the executive board that will select delegates to the national convention:

Instead, the party’s executive board, in a private conference call July 25, would decide who from Nevada will attend the Republican National Convention to formally nominate U.S. Sen. John McCain.

The state party abruptly ended its state convention in April to head off a delegation of Ron Paul supporters who had captured control of the proceedings and appeared on track to elect a majority slate to the Sept. 1-4 national convention.

Party officials planned to reconvene on July 26. But only about 300 delegates sent in RSVPs, well short of the 675 needed for a quorum.

Campaign Follies.

If Kucinich hadn't been so busy shitting all over John Edwards during the campaign on behalf of Obama, maybe he would have known Obama was no liberal.

GOP Follies.

The Nevada Republican Party will try to reconvene its convention in Reno on June 28 at the Grand Sierra Resort.

Note the convention mess was brought up at the McCain town hall in Sparks of the other day. I was talking to quite a few people at the event, and it seems I missed a lot of fun and excitement at the GOP's convention.

For Fun,

if you're interested in the gory details of the chaotic Nevada state GOP convention, there are some YouTubes here.

It was a total mess.

Nevada Caucus.

Even though John McCain is the nominee for the GOP, things were so contentious at yesterday's Nevada's Republican convention in Reno, no delegates were even selected for the national convention:

But as the convention continued into the evening, chairman Bob Beers said the party’s contract for the hall at the Peppermill Resort Casino had expired and the event would be rescheduled.
“Due to a rules change that left us on an overtime basis, we will recess the convention until a date that we are going to announce next week,” Beers told a shocked crowd, which stood silent for a few seconds before erupting in boos.
As Beers was escorted out of the building, a short-lived effort to rescue the convention was launched by party activist Mike Weber. Although several hundred Paul supporters stayed, they weren’t strong enough to make a quorum to continue the convention.
Throughout the confusion hecklers battled for the attention of delegates who supported U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
“McCain supporters leave!” one man shouted.
“McCain supporters stay!” a woman answered.
“We’re supposed to be on the same team!” another woman shouted.
