Campaign Press Release: RON PAUL WINNING THE BATTLE FOR DELEGATES

Florida delegates are bound through the first 4 votes. Otherwise, I believe where else they are bounded, they are only through the first vote. Don't know any other that are bound through more than one round.

The Florida Republican Party is run like a DICTATORSHIP when it comes to its delegates.

not sure what stealth delegates are trying to do, in many precincts stealth delegates were ousted for ron paul delegates:) I took any stealth delegates as the enemy. In denver precincts stealth delegates were by passed for ron paul delegates! In many denver precincts ,stealth delegates were overlooked for more passionate delegates!

think about it. for folks that were not willing to comeout for who they supported. If they were stealth it was because they ran unopposed! On a local level if you were not willing to say who you supported. Then you were looked at as to why you wouldn't come out for who you supported. At a local level it only seems a reason to rally against you if they could. Then it really served no purpose. At a county level if your not able to say who you are for odds are they will oust you then. The whole stealth mode is a red flag to me not to trust you.

i gained support from other supporters just being honest.

Fox News reporter just said... I think that is when I stopped reading lol
 
1) The Missouri primary means nothing. It was a non-binding beauty contest, and the contest that matters in the ‘show me’ state won’t take place for another month. The Ron Paul campaign is well positioned to win delegates in Missouri’s caucus a month from now

and

This race after all is about delegates, not about beauty contests.

completely unnecessary and boarding on juvenile.

So what? Ron Paul, the message, and the campaign are UGLY? Please. The point can be made without treating the voice of the people with disdain.

Also, the reporter is right, it is mathematically wrong because of the binding process. Even though no delegates were awarded, you don't win delegates in binding caucuses/primaries by having a Ron Paul supporter fill the slot.

It is easy to see the strategy is to completely relying on the ignorance of the people regarding the political process. I just find this to be dishonest. Sorry, but to say that the votes of the people don't matter completely discredits representative politics.

Yes, sometimes a leader has to go against the will of the people to do the right thing. However, these SAME people whose votes apparently don't matter WILL vote for their representative in CONGRESS and you can damn sure count on them to look for someone who will impeach the president that they didn't vote for.

Messages like this discredit the movement, discredit representative politics, and SHOULD the campaign LUCK OUT and pull this off, the negative report being established here will cause significant BLOWBACK for the ambitious agenda that a Ron Paul administration will look to establish.

Beauty contest? Hell no this campaign has got to be one of the ugliest and awkward organizations I have seen.
 
This strategy all depends on Romney not being able to get 1144...then its candy for all of us.

Either way, Ron Paul was never going to get 1144 bound delegates...this is the only way forward.
 
So, who should I be listening to, the campaign or some Ron Paul supporters who feel that the campaign is immature, stupid, and doesn't know how to do math? I'm really getting sick of even being on here because there is nothing positive here anymore it's just a bunch of gloomy people talking about how they're right and Ron and the campaign are wrong and we should just give up. How could the entire campaign not know what they're talking about? Jesus, all of the negative people should have volunteered and gotten this campaign on the right track...

Edit: F*** it I guess we should just give up.

Honestly I think this press release was more to raise morale among the grassroots than to get a news story headline. Clearly they have noticed the decline in morale, especially since the honest failure in Nevada.

Good move.

To me it isn't even about morale. It seems like it is either the grassroots are really excited and pumped or down on bad news.

How about we all take a good look in the mirror and ask ourselves what are we really doing to help RP win? Sometimes I feel like the grassroots is just a bunch of sensitive children.


We are supposed to be the most organized and passionate base and in the last month or two, I've slowly started to finally accept that the grassroots is a complete failure.
 
We are just playing by the rules folks, and every other campaign and their supporters are allowed to do the same.

Good press release. Wake em up to the fact.
 
Yep. These are the rules. We're not doing anything sneaky or underhanded. This process is so stupid and complicated, but we have the energy to navigate through it to get this nomination.
 
This obviously didn't help some people's morale. Now everyone is just going to play the blame game (and don't even try to call it constructive criticism) saying: it was the grassroots fault, it was the campaign's fault, it was Jesse Benton's fault, it was blah blah blah blah.
 
By claiming they'll get delegates out of proportion to their votes, the campaign is making a huge mistake. And they're also showing that they don't understand the delegate process. Here in Nevada, it doesn't matter how many delegates they got on caucus day. The proportion of national delegates are fixed by how he did in the preference poll. It is not a "straw vote" as they claim. It was last time, but not this time. And the reason it isn't this time is because of what we did by almost taking over the state convention.

This delegate accumulation process will only get you so far. Remember what happened in Missouri when Paul people tried to become delegates? Does anyone think that won't happen again?

This strategy only works if you shut your mouth. But with so many poor performances, I suppose the campaign feels it has to do something to keep raising money. Maybe it's necessary for that, but it's a really bad move.
 
If we have a brokered convention, Paul will win the nomination.

Imagine how hilarious the flailings of the Party establishment will be when that happens!
 
@BKom Please explain how an entire campaign doesn't realize what they're doing Great Wise One?

And then the country can have a real presidential election.

It makes me wonder that if the MSM is anyone but Paul, why do they prop and surge candidates? And in doing so, increase the possibility of a brokered convention. Bret Baier did look confused last night on the topic...
