Highly Electable

June 2, 2008 by Lloyd 12 Comments

Well, it turns out that I’m highly electable. Not only was I recently elected to be a Delegate to the Seward County Republican Convention. Note: If there are fewer than 2 people per precinct who register to be candidates their names do not actually appear on the ballot and they are just sort of “elected”.

I also happy to inform you that I have recently (yesterday evening) been elected as one of the four Seward County Delegates to the Nebraska State Republican Convention. NOTE: if there are fewer than 4 delegates elected to serve at the county convention then it’s pretty much a done deal that they will all get to go (there were only 3 of us).

There were only about two dozen people at the county convention including John Gale, our secretary of state, and Pete Ricketts who ran against Ben Nelson for Senate in 2006 but lost. After my “election” I was feeling bold so I nominated Mark Kolterman for chairman of the Seward County Republican Committee. He won. Then the jerk turned around and nominated me for secretary and I won. NOTE: there was not a lot of interest in the position (I was the only person nominated).

I’d like to think I was nominated because I expressed myself so eloquently when they asked all of the delegates to say something about their delegatality, but I’m pretty sure they just thought they could get the new guy to do it.

Lauren wants to contribute to her country, too, so she drew this in lieu of actually voting or anything.

In Lloyd we trust?

Dealy

January 20, 2008 by Lauren 11 Comments

Ha! That was supposed to be ‘delay’, but I’m leaving it.  The dealy for not having a good post is that when we got back from ukulele night last night, I had my arms full of stuff from the car, and what do you think the only thing I dropped in the snow was?  Yep, the camera.  I decided to let it dry out overnight, and there’s no time now or we’ll be late for church.  Maybe later today.

Then I’m taking over

Lauren doesn’t like it when I post political stuff here, but, what with her being so busy and all, I don’t think she’ll notice for a while. I’ve always sort of thought that the newspapers in the U.S. did a pretty good job of just reporting the news. Sure there might be a little bias one way or the other, but you could pretty much count on what you read being true (don’t tune out yet, I think you’ll find this interesting).

Some of you probably know that I’m hopeful that Ron Paul will be the next Republican party nomination for President. I’m hopeful, and I’m doing my part working toward that goal, but I don’t really expect it to happen. On the other hand, Dr. Paul just came in second in Nevada ahead of McCain, Huckabee, Thompson and Giuliani. He is ahead of Giuliani and just two behind Thompson in the delegate count. Over 90,000 people have voted for him so far in the primaries. And he has probably raised more money, and definitely from more donors in the forth quarter than any Republican candidate. But the New York Times doesn’t list him as a candidate.

Not even on the page. Please don’t tell Brad, this will only make him mad.
