Isn't someone here texting with a member who's at the convention right now?? If so, ask them!!

I for one thank all the Colorado peeps who really stepped up to the plate yesterday and today and represented. I'm totally stoked at your efforts. Thank you so much.

Walking away with 13 delegates would be awesome.

Yes that would be me texting with maxoutco and he said we had the numbers and said he sees us winning the majority!!!


Edit... He couldn't stay for the results he is married with kids.

this. I was afraid Romney would be tied into party in CO, but it is wonderful we got what we did. I am now holding my breath until someone confirms how many of the unpledged are Ron's.

Donate 100 now and 200 tomorrow. That way you feel better now.

Everything I donate I want to count to the money bomb so it's the biggest one ever!! When it is the biggest one ever that will make me feel better

Apparently at least one is not...

I do not think he has any connection to Paul, and will likely go with the party...

^calm down. We did very well today. We got more delegates than the MSM is reporting.

We were predicted 0 and might come away with 13 (more if Santorum's guys change sides!)

 

[Gray Fullbuster]

The caucus strategy works guys!

 

[PatriotOne]

Somebody gots some splainin to do....waiting for the convention insiders to come back,

It does, but man is this a mess of a way to determine delegates. I much prefer a primary system like NH's.

 

[sailingaway]

Yeah, I'd like to know too, but it usually comes down to numbers. ALL the party types would vote for Romney of course, even those previously pledged to Santa, I'll bet. Well our worst case is still a lot better than we were being given credit for, but being a hair away from plurality as the votes were taken is not what we would have preferred, of course. And Oklahoma is complete icing as far as I am concerned!

Primaries are easier, but we're much better at getting delegates through the caucus process.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Yeah, primaries we just lose and then it's done. In Caucus states it goes on and on... but then sometimes we win.

 

[PaulSoHard]

I can see why conventions are beginning electronic devices now, even though this wasn't one of them

Oh I understand. I am thinking of it more in the bigger picture. Like for instance if Santorum was still in the race, his people would be seriously pissed that they won the popular vote but lost to both Romney and Paul in delegates.

I'd hate for that to happen to one of our guys in the future.

you mean like in ND where Romney took it and they wouldn't do a physical count of the caucus vote? If a party ties their delegates to a caucus whether the primary vote is the same is irrelevant.

 

[kathy88]

We have people who make up the grassroots busting their fuckn ass for all of us and Ron Paul and it seems no matter how good it looks for us BAM with a stroke of a pen we go from having the majority of delegates to just a great showing!! It's fuckn frustrating and I feel bad for our great brothers and sisters who are fighting this war with us!! Now instead of me donating 100 to this money bomb now I'm gonna fuckn donate 300!!!

That's the spirit. And it will make up for those not intending to donate because the campaign isn't making ads to trash Romney

 

[rb3b3]

People on twitter are saying some type of fraud went down in colorado as usual... They saying Ron Paul had the numbers and Romney walk away wit 8 out of the 12!!! I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more about this!!

Primaries reward the apathetic. Caucuses reward the determined.
