Thompson Delegates...State-At-Large

Well, Gilbert and I decided to run as State-at-Large delegates pledged to support Fred Thompson for President. He has a fairly consistent conservative voting record. It was a hard choice, but we believe he is the best suited to serve as the next US President. We signed up tonight at the Alabama Republican Party HQ and we will be on the ballot for place 15 and 16 out of 24 state-at-large delegates pledged to him. If Thompson wins 50% plus 1 of the popular vote ALL delegates pledged to him will go to the national convention. Any candidate who wins 20% of the popular vote will take a proportionate number of delegates to RNC. I expect the vote in Alabama to be split between Giuliani, Romney, McCain, Paul and Thompson, but I think Thompson will win our state. We would like to go to Minneapolis /St.Paul to national convention next September and will get to go if he wins by big enough margin to take at least 16 delegates :-).....so VOTE FOR FRED, and for Gilbert and ME in our Republican primary on Feb 5th!
Thanks.
