It means we have the most delegates signed up to be on the county ballots to the state convention, we have to work really hard the next 30 days on getting everyone elected, but short term we have some bragging rights.

WV is 50th in fundraising for Ron Paul, no paid staff at all, and we are beating 3 campaigns that worked the establishment and had paid state and county coordinators. This is entirely grassroots.

remember tho...
there are over 600 uncommitteds..

what does that imply?

That most WV Republicans aren't happy with the frontrunners enough to declare their support. We have to win some of them over, and we've got projects going to do that.

It's far from over, but this was the first big hurdle.

Great news! This has inspired me to look into become a delegate in Kansas!
