For my Ohio readers and those interested in the delegate process for the Republican National Convention, this is a great piece about how one woman in Ohio is campaigning heavily so she can be a delegate to the DNC's convention. Not all are this hard-core about it, but many do think of it as an opportunity to organize a mini-campaign for themselves in order to be a part of a larger campaign for President:

Erin Sullivan Lally's campaign headquarters to become an Ohio delegate for Hillary Clinton is the living room of her Cleveland home. As two of her five kids play upstairs, Lally picks up toys and stray socks hiding under sofas and outlines her strategy:

"Free pizza and beer."

In Ohio, Democrats elect their slates of delegates at special gatherings nicknamed "delegate night." That will be on Jan. 3, and Lally plans to fill the house.

"Well, I'm inviting family and friends," she says, laughing. "I'm mailing them post cards. I've got a place where I'm going to have free food and drinks. And I've got a bus. I'm going to try and take as many of my supporters on a bus and take them to the vote to make sure they actually show up."

The rules to become a delegate in every state are different--if only slightly--but here's how you can be a Republican delegate in Ohio from the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Ohio will have 88 delegates to the GOP convention. Each of the state's 18 congressional districts will be allotted three delegates. Presidential candidates will get all three delegates in each congressional district they win.

Ohio's 31 at-large delegates will go to the candidate winning the most votes statewide. In addition, three more delegates - Ohio's two members of the Republican National Committee and the state party chairman - will go as unpledged delegates.

In Ohio, the candidates' campaign seeks out people to serve as delegates and alternates - most have information on how to become a delegate on their campaign Web sites; some campaigns use volunteer recruiters to nail down delegate spots.

Would-be GOP delegates have to gather voter signatures on petitions - 150 for district delegates, 3,000 for at-large. District candidates file with the board of elections in the largest county in their districts; at-large petitions are filed with the Ohio secretary of state.

If you want to be a delegate, get moving. If you have questions, get a hold of the Ohio GOP.
