there's a rumor goin around that Maloney may crash the Convention just like how he crashed the Stonewall Democrats event.
If Weld wants to make a big splash in Nassau, he should publicly offer the Lt> Gov to Kate Murray--the Supervisor of the largest Town in Nassau!
HOW DOES ONE BECOME A DELEGATE TO THESE CONVENTIONS??? WHO ARE THE PEOPLE PICKING OUR NOMINEES?

Charlie King totally flops!!! It's hillarious. The Man HAS NO IDEA what he is talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Salute to Pataki at the GOP Convention?
Hope they are using the correct finger when they give the salute...
the charlie king video is amazing. he sounds horrible.
There are not really delegates at these conventions. Those voting are members of the State Committee of each Party. These people are elected every 2 years in Primaries, though in most cases, they run unopposed and are therefore not listed on the ballot.
Well do you get to be a member of the State Committee of the Party????
How do I register for the Spitzer event Monday at Dunn Tire Park??
