Supporters of 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paulhave propelled him to an historic win in Minnesota this weekend, with delegate gains having occurred in multiple other states as well. The recent achievements affirm Paul’s delegate-attainment strategy, and support the notion that he and his platform will be featured prominently at the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August.
In Minnesota, Paul organizers won a decisive 12 of 13 delegates to the RNC at the Rivers Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud, wrapping up the North Star State’s two-tier nominating contest. Earlier this spring, Paul supporters won 20 of 24 delegates at district conventions. In all, the Paul camp has swept the state of Minnesota winning 32 of the state’s 40 national delegates.
In addition to Paul’s consequential victory in Minnesota, Paul organizers won delegates in Mitt Romney’s home state of Michigan. There, Paul supporters estimate that they have won eight voting slots plus one non-voting delegate and 11 alternates. Of the 14 Congressional District voting contests held this weekend, Paul organizers won RNC delegates in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 9th Districts, denying Detroit-born Romney a clean sweep of his home state. The Michigan victory occurred despite a heavy Romney campaign presence promoting a win for the establishment pick and presumptive nominee.
At the Vermont Republican State Convention this weekend, Ron Paul supporters won two of 14 national delegates, with two more considered potential allies, and they won 10 of 14 alternates. In all, Vermont has 17 delegates including super delegates.
With facebook continually changing and Google+ never really drawing me in, I’ve been on the look-out for a new social networking site to get comfortable with.
Someone recently invited me to the site Zurker, created by Nick Oba. Oba looks to challange the facebook behemoth, and while that’s a battle of David and Goliath proportions, facebook hasn’t been doing itself any favors with everything that it’s been doing lately.
Zurker may appear to have a choppy interface, with an odd form of communicating and connecting with other members, but, to me, it compensates with how transparent and private it is.
On top of that, members have the opportunity to get partial membership of the site in the form of vShares, but whether they’ll be worth anything right now is yet to be seen. One of the positives of getting involved in the Zurker community like that however is that members can come together and help influence what applications and changes the site will go through.
Being a fledgling site, and a private one on top of that, almost all of my friends from the more established sites are completely absent. I would like to help see this new social network become big enough to be opened to the public and if any of my friends and followers would like to join and try it out, by all means.
My referral link, which at the moment act as your invitation, is http://www.zurker.com/i-192881-ogbyhhwyph
I really think there’s something to be had with Zurker, and I hope to see you all there.

She’s a total sweetheart. She’s from the city, wants to be a writer, and is much more open and public than I am, but it all works together nicely. Come July, we’ll have been dating for two years.
