Talk:2012 Northern Mariana Islands Republican presidential caucuses

Importance of the Marianas
Thanks for adding TALK. Would like to visit the islands some day. Interesting: they decide to vote nearly a month after Utah to make themselves last. Of course, in a close vote their nine votes would be interesting, but the final decision would be in a brokered convention in Florida in August.

Green papers has their caucus on Super Tuesday?
Here is a reference saying they caucus on July 31st, 2012. http://files.meetup.com/524201/2012%20Presidential%20Primary%20Schedule.pdf
 * So do they begin next week and finalize their position after everyone else, including Utah, votes? Just asking, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 20:38, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the Saipan Tribune newspaper article ref.
WP editor, Scanlan, added an excellent reference that includes this: "Republicans will vote for six of the nine delegates to the national convention. However, there will also be six alternates to ensure a complete slate of delegates. They will be joined at the national convention by Fitial as party chairman, national committeeman Bo Palacios, and national committeewoman Viola Alepuyo. The NMI Republican Party received official recognition from the national organization in 2004. Other U.S. insular areas, such as American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto, will also have at least nine delegates each to the national convention." (So there are five provinces that we have included in the main WP Article.) Thanks, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 11:13, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * You should really take a look at the Main Page of the newspaper: http://www.saipantribune.com/default.aspx with a photo and caption: "Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's son, Matt, and wife Laurie, pose with traditional warrior dance group members at a luncheon hosted yesterday by Gov. Benigno R. Fitial at his private residence in Gualo Rai on the eve of today's Republican caucus in the CNMI. (Haidee V. Eugenio)" That's great; truly, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 11:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
