Breaking News 4-13-12, Ron Paul just WON

[sailingaway]

Can't help but recall msm airing that vid just to point out that Ron is the "Father of the TEA PARTY". That was such a revealing video but they chose to recall that tidbit. Now this thing with Israel and Santorum in the mix as the holy roller that he is.

Something is up alright. Just don't know what exactly. Is a very powerful lobby, you know....

And those TEA PARTY PATRIOTS are definately trustees in War INC.

Sure, folks may think they need Santorum's supporters but just because they make like they're on the bus and blend in doesn't mean they have the Statesman's interests at heart.

obviously, having our own majority is better, but this is better than having them get together with Romney. At minimum, at this point they still want a brokered convention for their own reasons.

Kick their asses, Kenny!!

goodnight folks i need some rest, tomorrow is a big day!

Go in well rested. I'm going to sleep soon, and my mood is MUCH improved.

 

[orenbus]

no on a thread about the money bomb and i had mentioned colorado and how it would dictate what i could donate if i could, anyway sorry.

Your penance is to tell three people that don't know about the money bomb to donate.

I'm always thinking of the interview on msnbc where that clown told Jesse his campaign was a flop. It's stuff like this that fly right into the MSM's face. The way I see it, the campaign is brilliant and it's winning against all odds.

I don't disagree with that and I understand the relevance to that particular extent. Just a lot of bread crumbs being dropped all of a sudden. You know?

 

[Paul Or Nothing II]

+1 for all the hardwork :

I just want to say congrats!

but it isn't time to celebrate yet, don't forget what happened in North Dakota.

This

He could be Ron Paul's Joe Biden.

There will never be a Paul/Santorum ticket. Oil and water.

Santorum is an opportunist, he's shifted his views many times in the past, he saw an opportunity to grab the Christian vote by being Saint Santorum so he did so if he gets a shot at something then he'll be willing to change his position again; good thing is that he wasn't the establishment-guy, it's the people (though misguided ones) that pushed him ahead

We've to think about the alternative scenarios, which equals to Romney getting the nomination, so Paul/Santorum sounds much better than that

 

[shishka]

HAHAHA!!!

Look at the OP... He says that Paul got 9 delegates, Santorum got 7, and Romney got 5.

Now lets count how many delegates each candidate has according to your link...

Delegates to the Republican National Convention:
· Congressional District 1
o Nancy McKiernanm, Santorum 1
o Celement Koerber Jr., Unpledged 1
o Florence Sebern, Unpledged 2
· Congressional District 2
o Timothy Leonard, Unpledged 3
o Sue Sharkey, Santorum 2
o Solomon Martinez, Unpledged 4
· Congressional District 3
o Todd King, Unpledged 5
o Luke Kirk, Unpledged 6
o Frieda Wallison, Romney 1
Congressional District 4
o Guy Short, Unpledged 7
o Sean Conway, Santorum 3
o Karen Pelzer, Unpledged 8
· Congressional District 5
o John Suthers, Romney 2
o Robin Coran, Santorum 4
o Kent Lambert, Santorum 5
· Congressional District 6
o John Carson, Romney 3
o Ted Harvey, Unpledged 9
o Erik Hansen, Romney 4
· Congressional District 7
o Pete Coors, Romney 5
o Anil Mathai, Santorum 6
o Jeremy Strand, Unpledged 10

5 for Romney, 6 for Santy (OP said he got 7), and 10 Unpledged (OP said Paul got 9).

Looks like we figured out how MSM is going to spin this one :o.

Can't the current unpledged declare support for Paul at the last minute, hence making it known to the MSM that Paul received the victory?

I'm pretty sure that it's already well known that those unpledged delegates are Paul supporters.

 

[RDM]

I hope someone can explain something to me. If Santorum is going to start speaking for Romney and Romney as already stated publicly that Santorum will play a role in his election. How do we know this is not a setup?

 

[shishka]

Known by who? If news gets out that there were 10 or so "unpledged", and it remains that way past tomorrow, then no one will know they were Ron Paul supporters, and we lose credit for the victory. How is the media to figure out that unpledged = Ron Paul? Will the Colorado GOP issue that statement? I think not.

I just want the country to know that RP won this state. As it stands now, according to CO GOP, that isn't the case.

They could have banded with Romney and shut Ron out in a bunch of places, instead they banded with us, at least for now. It doesn't mean they will vote for Ron in Tampa. It means they will have leverage in Tampa, but it also means Ron will, and that Romney did not get the delegates towards his 1144.

 

[Rudeman]

Preventing Romney from getting the delegates he needs is good news. Only way we'll have a shot at winning.

OK, but what if this is a plan knowing that if they get Santorum delegates to slate with Paul and at the convention or before, Romney bargains for all of Santorum's delegates knowing full well in advance that was the plan all along? I'm just not all comfortable with all of this since Paul is the outsider and Romney and Santorum are the establishment and this election is not about Paul vs Obama. It's about Paul vs GOP. Just call me skeptic.

you are suggesting we had a choice. We had a plurality not majority. We had the same problem now we would have then. And we still have tomorrow.

NAILED IT. It's either SOME delegates or NO delegates. Take your pick.

The only people who know who these unpledged delegates are will be the Paul people who created the slates. I trust they were organized and had already handpicked who they were going to vote for

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

Well this is great news, but now I really hope this wasn't premature.

For as far as the Santorum delegates go in Tampa, Santorum can't force them to vote for Romney, can he ? At best he could free them up and ask real nice ? At least that's my understanding. From reading some of the anecdotal evidence, these people aren't all that crazy and quite willing to work against Romney... I don't see what's wrong with working with them, as long as you get somewhere. This is not based on principles, this is based on taking what you can get.

It would be totally awesome if tomorrow, Ron would have won Colorado... While only getting 10% of the vote... I bet it would make Romney nervous, he isn't going to get a lot of enthusiasm anymore, that's over. Enthusiasm for his campaign can only get less, if you ask me. With Santorum out, I don't see many gravitating towards Romney, not even after cleaning up all the Santorum anti-Romney pages...

If tomorrow there is good news, prepare to make it go VIRAL! As the media probably won't help too much...

 

[parocks]

Okay, so here's the unpledged. I did some googling and confirmed a few as Ron Paul people (the bolded).

· Congressional District 1
o Clement Koerber Jr., Unpledged
o Florence Sebern, Unpledged
· Congressional District 2
o Timothy Leonard, Unpledged
o Solomon Martinez, Unpledged
· Congressional District 3
o Todd King, Unpledged
o Luke Kirk, Unpledged
Congressional District 4
o Guy Short, Unpledged
o Karen Pelzer, Unpledged
· Congressional District 5
· Congressional District 6
o Ted Harvey, Unpledged
· Congressional District 7
o Jeremy Strand, Unpledged

Clement Koerber Jr. says he supports the Constitution, but I wasn't able to confirm he was a Paul supporter. The only other reference I found for him is that he likes to smoke pipes.

Karen Pelzer looks unlikely from what I've found.

Ted Harvey has apparently said some good things about Ron Paul, but I found no explicit endorsement or anything like that.

people on the ground surely know who was on the conservative slate.

On Free Republic, Romney will not be supported even if he's the nominee is what JimRob very recently said. The Santorum and Gingrich supporters over there will not be jumping over to Romney quickly.
