St. Charles, MO County Caucus – Wrap up

As all of you know we had a great night last night. I thought I would take a few minutes to give a quick overview of what happened and what we did to make it happen.

First, I want to let everyone know that without Bryce and Joe we would not have been successful. I don't want to appear to brag, but I think my role was pretty important too. Bryce and Joe did most of the coordination prior to the last caucus and Bryce and I spent many late nights in the weeks before the new caucus. Bryce put together a program for the GOTV effort that worked beautifully. If anyone is working on GOTV, contact me and I can help give you suggestions based on what we did.

The Rick Santorum supporters offered to buy dinner for anyone who attended the caucus to support him. After his announcement that was changed to light snacks.

The Mitt Romney supporters set up a pop up canopy outside of the convention center to talk to their supporters.

The Ron Paul supporters had a room inside across from the caucus room and the caucus registration where we checked in our people against our lists. We also had people there who were from outside of the county to watch Ron Paul supporters' kids while they were in the caucus.

The caucus started relatively on time, about 7:15pm.

NEWSFLASH from St. Charles! "Santorum’s Campaign Team" Secretly Drafts Letter to MO GOP on Behalf of Central Committee

St. Charles Central Committee received a letter drafted by "Santorum's campaign team" proposing that there be no rescheduled caucus in St. Charles to be signed by Eugene Dokes and Penny Henke. It is dated today and is addressed to the MO GOP *from the St. Charles Central Committee.*

(Correction: I originally said that it was signed by Eugene, but this is not the case. He was in agreement with it, though.)

They want delegates to be proportioned based on straw poll at the door or primary results, which would benefit Santorum.

Link between the hijacked caucus and the Santorum campaign? We'll see how it fleshes out.

St. Charles Caucus HIJACKED – Response to The Blog Czar and Other Things

Available for sharing on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/notes/bryce-steinhoff/st-charles-cau...

There's a new article floating around on the interwebs that I feel should be addressed. It is my understanding that Eugene Dokes (or somebody posing as him, I suppose) endorsed this article as an accurate representation of the March 17 caucus. I feel that there are some blatant falsehoods within it that need to be countered and I'd like to address some other frivolous arguments as well.

First, I want to address a rumor I've heard that Robert's Rules of Order is merely a suggestion and that the central committee can't be held accountable based upon it. This isn't true as far as I can discern the truth to be. Here are a couple of good reasons for my conclusion:

Ron Paul Is Winning ANOTHER Caucus, and The Media Isn’t Telling You About It

http://www.businessinsider.com/is-ron-paul-secretly-winning-...

While Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum duke it out for delegates in high-profile primaries like Illinois and Pennsylvania, Ron Paul's quiet pursuit of delegates appears to be paying off.

Early results from Missouri's caucuses this weekend show that the long-shot libertarian candidate is significantly outperforming his rivals in the race for delegates. Senior campaign advisors tell Business Insider that Paul appears to have picked up the majority of Missouri's delegates, despite having lost the state's nonbinding primary to Rick Santorum.
