Party Delegates

It is getting close to the big super tuesday event. Here in town, of course, we not only have Dean's recital and the superbowl (which will be competing for the same time slot), but we also have the presidential preference pole. I am planning on voting for Ron Paul. Afterwords the district has its convention (in my district, some are on another date) where they will choose delegates to travel down to the state convention (for the Republican party) in Anchorage and vote as you are directed (to reflect the popular vote in your local district). If there is a tie, then delegates at some point vote according to conscience in order to resolve the stalemate. The state convention sends delegates to the national convention (of course) to complete the picture. If you are a Republican- or a Ron Paul supporter- go out on the 5th of February and vote for someone.
