At least 15 of 29 delegates go to Ron Paul in AZ...over 50%, Ron Paul wins AZ too!

ignore boundness.

Would that be boundedness? Just askin'.

If we get a majority of delegates, it won't matter who they are bound to - they can vote to unbind themselves before the nomination vote!

 

[rich34]

I know national electors are not bound. There was one back in 2000 that was going to vote for Gore over Bush even though WV went to Bush, but because of the Florida fiasco...

 

[zachrbroussard]

Did ya'll not watch Swann's latest video? Ignore binding!

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

if we can ignore binding... and if we keep getting 30-70% of the delegates + santorum/gingrich disgruntled delegates... we might just have more delegates than romney at this rate.

There WAS that letter from the lawyer in 2008 stating that the RNC didn't recognize states binding delegates and that the RNC considered all delegates to be free agents.
I think that letter says it all - there are NO bound delegates and RP could actually win this thing.

Agreed. It would most likely go to court, but if the rule precedence is used they would certainly side in our favor!

Anything new on Arizona? Shouldn't the results be out?

 

[digitaldean]

The real question is are all 15 normal delegates or are half alternates like I suspect.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

are the 15/29, assuming its true.. A or B list? =p makes a big difference.

But what's the chances of the Santa/Grinch folks not voting for Romney if that's what we do? I'm sure if the good ole boys come in and tell those folks they have to unite and back Romney the majority will. That's how they roll.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

I like to think I had a small hand in this with my volunteer efforts and such. Thanks to everyone else who worked in AZ! ~hugs~

at least 8 are A list.

Not if state laws criminalize them doing so.

 

[RabbitMan]

I thought rule 38 recognized that the RNC does not acknowledge States binding rules and that each national delegate was accepted as an individual who could follow their consciences?

 

[sailingaway]

Arizona has a statutory binding, but they can be there to vote OTHERS unbound even if they are stuck for first vote.

Yeah, that part is interesting. Just wondering if Romney is getting an insurmountable lead. I know his numbers are vapor somewhat, but the counts put him over 900 now...
