Over at Residual Forces Andy is peeved and posts an account of the 52 convention. SD Chair John McCallum stops by and disputes Andy's account.
What happened at SD52. . .
Were the rules changed or subverted? . . . NO
Election to both 6th and State was a change I submitted to the Rules Committee as SD 52 Chair back and approved by the Rules Committee in November of 2005…We get things done early in SD52.. That change was fully explained by me, at the convention. Only the 52A endorsement was delayed. Otherwise, nomination and balloting for 6th Cd Delegate started after lunch as it has for years.
Was I asked to move up the time of balloting? . . . Yes . . . Did I move it? . . . NO . . . ballots take time to be prepared.
Were slates used by the campaigns?..YES ... as they have been before..and will in the future.
Did a large block of the 52B delegates leave after voting for delegates? YES... What else is new.
I have to give Eva Young credit, she is the only one to give me a call and get the "REAL" story, instead of spreading rumors and seeing Black Helicopters everywhere.
Any other questions, fire away
Thanks
John McCallum,
Chair,
SD52
