SUPER TUESDAY 2012

February was a strange month in the Republican nomination process.

The month started with Romney winning Florida and it looked like he was going to cruise his way to the nomination.

We saw Newt Gingrich fade away to where he is counting on Georgia being his last hope for another surge.

We witnessed the Santorum Surge… giggle… with his wins in Colorado and Minnesota. Bonus was his victory in the Missouri Primary that didn’t count for anything.

Maine’s Caucus produced a result that raised some eyebrows about the integrity of these results.

Michigan was a win in the popular vote for Romney, but in the delegate count it was recorded as a tie… then the Michigan GOP reviewed the results and gave Romney a 2-delegate win.

So… here we are. 10 states, 437 delegates are at stake

7PM ET Georgia, Vermont, Virginia

7:30PM ET Ohio, North Dakota

WE HAVE A DATE

Mark your calendars for 29 May 2012 as the date of the Texas Primary Elections.

It is the day after Memorial Day, so it would be advised to take advantage of early voting.

Also, remember after the polls close on 29 May 2012 unlike in previous Primary cycles, there will be no Precinct Convention this year.

If you desire of being a delegate for the State Convention in Houston in June and then the National Convention in Charlotte in early September, you need to attend your county convention on 21 April 2012.

For a third time.... the Texas Primary Date is 29 May 2012.

More details about the election schedule are provided here by the good people at the Burnt Orange Report.
