Is That a Caucus in Your Pants or...?

Midwestern Caucus Elections

Who said the only fun thing to do in the Midwest was watch the corn grow?

Samantha Hill of Missouri won a hard fought victory today over Ben Johnson of Iowa for the open Midwestern seat on the credentials committee. The 6-5 vote breakdown:

Samantha Hill (MO)
Kansas
Illinois
Michigan
Minnesota
Missouri
Nebraska

Ben Johnson (IA)
Iowa
Ohio
North Dakota
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Here at the Rumor Mill we give the facts if and only when we think user comments would be far more interesting, so go ahead - leave comments (see below).

Rumor has it that this race only foreshadows the upcoming bout between Justin Smith of MO and Bobby Kaufmann of IA; the candidates today only serving as proxies. And since here at the Rumor Mill we count hot rumors as cold facts, here's the corresponding vote breakdown by delegates at convention:

Justin Smith: 30*
Bobby Kaufmann: 21

*IN delegates are added to today's states voting for the MO candidate since they have officially endorsed Justin Smith.

A similar Western Caucus election for an open credentials seat is scheduled shortly. More on that to come.
