Houston County Convention Delegate Results

(Subcaucusing is easier when it's just the Senate race to worry about, no? :-)  I for one will be interested to see who this undecided half-delegate ends up supporting in Rochester in June. - promoted by Joe Bodell)

Today in Houston County we held our convention.  Congressman Walz spoke briefly about FISA and earmarks and ethics.  We then elected sub-caucuses which were

Support of Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer for Senate
Support of Al Franken for Senate
Undecided support for Senate Candidate

The way we send delegates to the state convention is that we elect 8 delegates who each half 1/2 a vote at the State Convention, we also elected 8 alternates to fill in when needed.

The delegate breakdown is as follows (in actual delegates attending, and then votes assigned)

Nelson-Pallmeyer 3 Delegates (1.5 votes)
Franken 2 Delegates (1 vote)
Undecided 3 delegates (1.5 votes)

I am one of the 3 undecided delegates, so I'm expecting calls from the two Senate campaigns all the way until June, should be interesting.

I am now also a member of the Houston County DFL Executive Committee as the Affirmative Action Officer, and I am also the male alternate to the State Central Committee.

Congrats (0.00 / 0)
Congrats Jacob,
I'm a delegate from Murray County.  We also split our delegates in half, so we have 6 delegates each with half a vote.  I'm not sure about the senate support, as we did not subcaucus.  But I know for sure there is one Franken supporter, I'm leaning JNP, and there are one or two others who I think are going for JNP.  Our convention was last weekend so it was before Ciresi dropped, so I'm now sure how the people who supported him are going to break.

Hopefully I'll see you at the CD1 convention in Albert Lea.
