BRYAN SPENCER: In our many months of planning we had a few goals - and we looked at the state's rules, we looked at the national rules, I looked at Iowa, I looked at Maine, I looked at Nebraska and saw how they did it. And we tried to come up with a set of rules that were going to best represent the entire county voice. We didn't want to make it an all or nothing (place). We wanted it to be personal, so that however many people came to the caucus representing a certain candidate, they would get that many of the delegates.

Umm, unfortunately Eugene Dokes has taken the brunt of the hate mail. But, what he knew ahead of time - we need to be rallying behind Eugene Dokes, because one, he was trying to protect our right to vote, our voice...

Paul may be a thing that is going on that is trying to crucify, and the media is joining in, to crucify (someone says Newt Gingrich) Eugene Dokes. We need to rally out there, because he was trying to protect the right of people voting, because if Ron Paul had taken over the meeting, if you or anybody (...???...), you would have no voice. You woulda had no voice. So we - the committee designed it so that everyone would have a voice.

But, what we need to do, is we need to rally behind Eugene Dokes, and publicly - now, I can't do that because the state has asked me to keep quiet for a while, plus my campaign said, "You need to lose, uh, since you're running for state rep, you need to lay low, and let other people carry the flag." But I really want to stand up for my friend, who is trying to do the right thing; I also want to (extend?) my own integrity, and character...

Four years ago we had maybe 115, 130 people; we have at least ten times that.

OTHER SPEAKER: The thing that I have a hard time reconciling is the prohibition of electronic monitoring, with the press who was there who was doing the same thing.

BRYAN: Well, here's the thing. I personally didn't want any media there, because it's a closed meeting, and you know, the caucus has a history of being the sausage-grinder of the politics. And we don't want people to see what actually goes into the sausage.

...is taking it hard. I mean, it's every story, his name's in it, every story, because he was not going to allow Ron Paul to shut out the vote of three other candidates. He would protect the vote. He was protecting your right to have your voice heard, and he is being crucified. We cannot stand quiet. We have to call the papers, we have to call the radio (stations?), we have to get online, and do a facelift, because he's being crucified. He is being publicly crucified for fighting for us. So, he needs to have someone to stand behind him, and I, unfortunately, can only do it in small - like that, I cannot do that publicly, because one, I'm the (event?) organizer, and my credibility would be questioned because they'd think that we are in a conspiracy together, and two, um, I'm running for state rep, and they don't want me to say anything, even though I feel I have to.

(unclear phrases), he deserved it, he was...(?)
