Rule Nine of the 2012 Republican National Committee rulebook outlines the process for filling vacancies in the event of a candidate's death or withdrawal. The rule empowers the RNC to name a replacement without reconvening a full national convention. Speculation is offered that figures like Jeb Bush could be positioned as alternatives under these specific administrative rules.

Twitter's management of the #RNC2012 hashtag is scrutinized for appearing vetted and monitored to suppress negative sentiment. The platform is accused of selling hashtags to political parties, resulting in a curated experience that lacks authentic public discourse. The prevalence of political bots and paid influencers is noted as a factor in the degradation of social media communication.

Yahoo News fired producer David Chalian after a hot mic captured him claiming the Romneys were "happy to have a party while black people are drowning" during Hurricane Isaac. Despite the firing, PBS journalist Gwen Ifill defended Chalian on Twitter, calling him a top producer. The incident is presented as evidence of the inherent bias and arrogance within the professional news industry.

Two attendees were removed from the RNC after reportedly throwing peanuts at an African-American CNN camera operator and saying, "This is how we feed animals." The hosts question the lack of video evidence from a professional camera crew and suggest the incident may be a hoax or exaggerated to stir racial tension. They criticize the media for immediately framing the event as a racial attack without identifying the perpetrators.
