Breaking: Oklahoma District 4 Ron Paul Revolution Delegate Sweep!

[sailingaway]

We're figuring that out now. If we can repeat what we did in 3, 4 and 5 at the state convention, we'll get the at-large delegates, as well.

District 3 elected 3 delegates and 3 alternates, plus one elector and the alternate elector from the Ron Paul slate.
District 4 elected 3 delegates and 3 alternates, plus both the electors and alternate electors from the Ron Paul slate.
District 5 elected 3 delegates and 3 alternates, plus one elector. Rick Santorum picked up one alternate elector.

All that's left is the State convention in May, where we will try for one more sweep.

thank you!

Do you know who won #1 and #2?
Are they Romney-friendlies, or Santorum-friendlies?

But Santorum didn't end campaign, he simply suspended it, so technically they are still candidates. Unless they change rules at State I don't think they can vote for RP the first round, thats what I understand from the rules personally.

If Santorum is not on the ballot at the RNC, how will they vote for him?

If Santorum does not appear on the ballot, those delegates pledged to Santorum are unbound. Santorum will make sure he does not appear on the ballot if he wants to save any face within the Republican Party.

There are not too many Romney-friendlies here. We're the reddest state in the Nation and Romney is some shade of purple, depending on what day it is. Folks in these parts don't take too kindly to purples. I can't say for sure what they are likely to do, since the establishment here is the same as everywhere and will take whoever Fox News tells them to take. We'll be working on it though, you can count on that.

My friend Jason won an alternate slot for Tampa. He's far from rich, so we'll need to raise some money to help him get there. There's talk of a Ronvoy to Florida and that will help, but don't worry...the money will be raised, somehow.

Oklahoma is really kicking some @$$! Great work!

we should get up a list of chip ins for delegates like we did for CPAC in years past.

Aw hell... Props to my north of the border brethren.

The Revolution is alive and well in Oklahoma!

Yea, even though he got dead last with less than 30,000 votes...

Excellent news, flybeech! Hopefully we can meet at the state convention.

You don't know, maybe they'll do that to take away a 'plurality state' from us if things get tight. So in any case if you end up with majority at State try to change the rules to unbind them to be safe.

Is anyone worried about potential "blowback" from us disproportionaltly taking delgates way above and behond our beauty contest results. I know the beauty contests don't matter, but if we even near becoming a real GOP threat don't you think they'll just pull the rug out from under us and change the rules at a natoinal level?

The only people I hear that from are those who seem to think we should just move on to other contests. Most of them weren't active here earlier in the campaign.

The states mostly voted by majority AGAINST Romney yet the GOP is trying to turn that into delegates FOR Romney across the board. You can't get much more unrepresentative than that.

As to what they'll TRY to do, who knows? They are trying all sorts of dirty tricks.

Loving all these reports across the country of Paul ownage at the conventions. It's really uplifting!

 

[defe07]

I'm really interested in what happened in the conventions in OK-1 and OK-2? Any numbers from there?

 

[rb3b3]

Sweep!

I understand a couple of District 1 delegates stayed at the house and we lost everything by a razor thin margin. Same thing with District 2. Just a handful of late sleepers cost us the whole enchilada. I believe we did get one alternate in District 1.

Ron Paul 2012 or Bust! Literally!

Congratualtions RP Oklahoma....FANTASTIC JOB!!!

So with this news and that of Minnesota today, is Minnesota considered our first plurality State, if so we have four more to go to get Ron nominated in Tampa.

I think he's got a real shot in PA. We elect our delegates right to National and we've been busting our asses getting our delegate names out there as the most conservative options.

 

[Paul Or Nothing II]

27 of 43 are bound to Santorum or Gingrich. More likely than not, they will not appear on the RNC ballot so those delegates will be free to vote for whoever they want.

Who cares! The alternative to "possible" blowback is giving up our liberties so I don't care about the blowback

Moreover, as the field has thinned out more, if Paul wins or does really in the remaining States & wins a few, especially TX, CAL then Ron will seem to have more momentum at the end of the process & CAL could be big as beating Obama will require attracting Democrats, which Ron DOES, & most Republicans hate Romney anyway so Ron being the more conservative option people mightn't mind it so much anyway
