At 9AM there is a youtube signal but a static glyph and no sound apparent. 9:05 Chair calls for delegates to come to the room and take their seats. Call to order. 9:07 Moellman…
Third Party Watch
A delegate was arrested at the National convention. There is a published image of the person, in handcuffs, being led along a corridor by two police officers. It is alleged that he assaulted another, female delegate. A person of the same name was decredentialed by vote of the national convention. A person allegedly of the same name and appearance was…
Something went wrong with the save/update command on the blog, such that I have lost large sections of text on at least one day. I will investigate further, but the loss is likely irreparable. We are here. The youtube broadcast hid itself. The Judicial Committee election results were announced: Avens O’Brien and Ken Moellman were elected to the Judicial Committee;…
The National Convention continues its lackadaisical advance through convention business. Both convention sessions started at well after the announced hour.

There is good sound, but the picture comes and goes. There will be a Chair debate. Jim Lark is moderating. 6 candidates on stage. I…
All in all, it was a pleasant and harmonious day. Not quite everyone got their way on everything but debate was rational and polite. Credentialing was largely straightforward. Someone tried to sneak nine Michiganders, including Mr. Chadderdon, into the convention as New Mexico delegates. The bylaws require that any delegation must include at least one New Mexico delegate, but none…
