Reply #25: She misunderstood

[Khaotic]

She thought the county convention would last about as long as the caucus did back on Jan. 3.

She was there past the time her seat would have been filled by an Edwards alternate.

She left after the pool of Edwards alternates was exhausted. So there weren't any Edwards alts to put in her seat.

There were left over Obama alts, but the rules stated that the delegates seat had to stay the same unless the delegate decided to change.

The delegate left, so the seat stays with Edwards until the District convention in April.

I had zero influence on her dicision to leave and I believe she knew what she was doing. She may have thought that an Edwards alternate would fill her seat, but that pool had been exhausted.

She may have stayed long enough to keep a perspective Edwards leaning Obama alternate from taking the seat however. So she successfully kept the seat from going Obama. Her delegate seat could stay Edwards or go for Hillary or Obama in Dubuque.

One thing is for certain, she won't have anything to do with the outcome now.
