CNN Called the GOP Nomination for McCain

[orafi]

You can override bound delegates at a state convention.

You don't mean in the third round of voting, do you?

no, for the first.

 

[Paulitician]

Yeah... that's gonna go well with the Republican base if you guys somehow managed to "steal" the nomination. Most have never even heard about him, and they're certainly not going to want to support someone who is anti-the Iraq war. It would be essentially handing over the presidency to the Democrats.

Bullshit, and like I'd want it to go to McCain in any event.

 

[Paulitician]

I can't believe that after the NH slaughter you guys are still living in lala land. To quote Wolf Blitzer, "Amazing!"

 

[syborius]

paulitician..just STFU, please. Show me a Mccaniac rally with more than 1000 people please? Not a university with a staged event and students. I want to see a rally with more than 1000 people drawn in from the street. Go to youtube and find me a rally please you fucking asshole. You and Abe should just go and fuck each other in the ass already.

Well, might as well try to take over the delegate slots anyway. What do we have to loose?

Anyway, most of those delegate counts are estimates, like the full amount they gave to McCain in Washington, even though we have over 2/3 of the local delegates there.

After all the shit CNN has pulled over the last year, and you guys still belive anything they say?

I'll give up once the State convention results are in.

 

[Poltiical_Rebel]

For goodness sakes, part of this was getting over the fact that THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT! IN FACT AT MY LOCAL CACAUS TWO MONTHS AGO THEY LIE 90% of the time! If you believe that they tell the truth when McCain wins nomination, you'll find that is just MORE THAN A MYTH! LET THE DREAM LIVE UNTIL THE BITTER END!

Cant you already see that MCcAIN won IT

Someone have an argument as to why I'm wrong here?

To me, it would be political suicide if by some miracle you guys would be able to get Ron Paul the nomination. He would be blamed for giving the Democrats the presidency. Better John McCain be to blame than Ron Paul.

^ the rules are the rules there is no official nominee until the convention

 

[speciallyblend]

CNN has every right to call the nomination since he has the required delegates..

ron paul supporters are dreaming, yes we can plan all we want for the national ,but really we need a reality check real quick. if we are hoping for something bad to happen then we have lost already. if we wait until convention day then ,there is no hope for a independent run its a catch 22 the republican party doesnt want ron paul or the republican message and the ron paul supporters are so blind to see after convention day it will be over for ron paul and we have 4 yrs to build the party. we have one chance for convention after that its over in 4 yrs or we have to start our own party.

I'll be voting ron paul in general but to keep thinking we have a chance in the convention is becoming a pipe dream.

catch 22 sad but true whos to blame THE GOP PERIOD

 

[Paulitician]

I'm not contesting that...

 

[icon124]

I think he can make an impact at the convention and open even more eyes, BUT he won't win...there's no way...and if he does win I'm playing the lottery that night

However, the 1191 delegates that the MSM claims McInsane has are NOT ALL BOUND.

I'd be too busy handing out "In your face"s to play the lottery, but I might make room for that the next day.
