Senator Nathan Dahm Colluding with AJ Ferate |
We warned the delegates that the emails coming from Chickasaw Warrior and Cherokee Maiden were associated with AJ Ferate if not from actually him.
You can read the pre convention warning email we sent out at this link. However the thought was that Ferate was stirring the pot, creating ill will between the conservative factions, perhaps hoping for a dignified loss if not making it into the run off.
Polling done prior to the convention had Ferate way under 20% to 30% with the other two candidates nearly tied or with Sean Roberts wi th a small lead. Ferate's emails started putting out the idea that Nathan Dahm would run but as late as the Tuesday before the convention Dahm was attending county conventions but sitting in the audience, not giving campaign speeches. Other sources besides Ferate's Chickasaw Warrior emails were warning that Dahm might get in the race.
