Mass confusion and low-tech voting at #rncchair has me starting to look for chads. |
@kevinbinversie I agree that the right does not have a monopoly on Palinism. Ask Rahm. |
@AmandaCarpenter The ability to agree to disagree is why #rncchair matters! |
"Palinism"=Aggressive know-nothingism, pride in ignorance and a belief that there is such a thing as "real America." |
Steele is not Palin only in the sense that he at least projects the image of being less ideologically rigid. Or that's what people tell me. |
Strong showing for Steele --widely considered a "moderate" -- in #rncchair suggests that Rs at least considering abandoning Palinism. |
@MichaelTurk Others may have run for #rncchair on a "reboot the party" theme, but not with such dork-centric language. |
To the extent that one can read anything into the first ballot: A rejection of @sanuzis' "Reboot the Party" theme. Abort, retry? |
Rs telling me that votes being negotiated right now at #rncchair are for the THIRD round of votes. No one gonna drop out before that. |
Blackwell & @sanuzis underperformed, garnering low 20s. Blackwell (Kenny B!) probably first to drop; hard to see his voters going to Duncan. |
Duncan wins first round at #rncchair with 52, considered LOW by the local wags (he announced 48). Steele very strong with 46. |
Announcer tells #rncchair voters: "It's just like you're graduating from high school... or kindergarten." My work here is done. |
@mikemadden Whole process at #rncchair is so JV keep expecting announcement that it's naptime & everyone put their heads down on their desk. |
News photogs taking pix over the shoulders of members as they vote in #rncchair. So much for secret ballot. |
Missing member showed at #rncchair! 85 or bust! Sorry for false alarm. NOT A LOT HAPPENING NOW. |
A member is absent form #rncchair; this means the winner only needs 84 votes to take the "stop sucking" mantle. |
With the nominating speeches over and tedious roll call voting still in progress, reporters here silent and confused. Checking email. |
@LizMair I'm all for secret ballot but a surprised at the matter-of-fact way Rs tell me that the #rncchair endorsers won't vote that way. |
@tbuser Well, @PatrickRuffini totally knows more than I do about what's actually happening at #rncchair. You don't have to choose! |
@Sanuzis strolling around the member floor at #rncchair because, well, he's a member, so he can. He is also tall and intimidating. |
