Colorado state convention thread

12 out of 36 delegates?

 

[DanK22]

Has there been any clarification on the rule about having a plurality in at least X many states. Is it 5 states and is plurality 50%+1? The early number, which I take with a shaker full of salt, was exactly 50%. I'm hitting F5 like a rat in a Skinner Box.

I am wondering: shouldn't there be some surrogates there for a state convention as big as this? Did the "official" campaign not send any surrogates, like Rand? Wouldn't that have been helpful? Or were they that confident of winning?

Going forward, are they going to have a presence at other state conventions, like Missouri? Perhaps even Ron Paul himself coming? I heard he will be coming to Maine's convention. Any others?

Ron won't be at Maines because he will be at NV at same time.

Ok Colorado has 36 total so how many do people think Paul might get? Over 30? Over 25? Thanks.

I've followed the @dailypaul idea and put a large Ron Paul banner over a motorway in Belfast, Northern Ireland #RonPaul #RonPaul2012

He already has 9, 12 more are at stake right now so max 21

plurality means one more higher than the next highest

Meaning he'd need 10 out of today's 12 in order to have a majority (without Santorum delegate support). That's assuming he won't get any of the 3 superdelegates as well.

Actually, plurality means one more than anyone else, but not necessarily fifty percent.

That's the word.

This is an important point. Because at some point, Santorum may officially withdraw rather than suspend his campaign, then his delegates could be free to go to other candidates. So, to be safe, we need to get actual majorities wherever we can. We know that the R party will circle the wagons to keep Ron from having any chance. It's not their main goal. It is their only goal. (Yes, they don't care if Mittler beats Obama or not. They just don't want Ron or Us to win.)

Congrats to all Ron Paul delegates and alternates at the CO GOP State Convention! I wish I could have been with you all today!!

Cheers, Carl B

It's not important, but it's not what you said. Go back and read what you said.
