How Ron Paul Wins the Nomination (full nomination schedule, delegate #'s, and analysis)

[PolicyReader]

So the 20 delegates from WY now a dream or can we now rally supporters to attend the remaining caucuses to pull it off?

Maybe someone on the ground there can pipe up to confirm or deny what I'm about to say but...
It is my understanding that the straw poll there is all but a lost cause, however Paul is faring quite well in the delegate process.
I haven't found sufficient details to know how that translates numerically.
Anyone want to speak up with better details than mine?

I was wondering why the date for the Texas Primary hasn't been updated. The Texas Primary will not be held April 3rd, it will be held May 29th. This should be corrected as many people don't yet know of the changes.

Really? Thanks man. I live here and I didn't even know that

It would be incredibly stunning to get 20. To do that, realistically, we would need either Ron Paul or Rand Paul to come to a bunch or most of the county conventions. If that were to happen, we could do it.

But even if that doesn't happen, we have reasonable odds to give Ron Paul more delegates than New Hampshire. Not 20, but a few.

Remember to [url="http://phone.ronpaul2012.com/v/faq.php]Phone From Home[/url] for WA, we could really use a straw poll win to highlight Ron Pauls candidacy before Super Tuesday

We may well pick up a large percentage of the delegates in Washington.

I know it is hard to believe because we haven't won a state yet, but folks, in terms of delegates, we are very much where I predicted we needed to be for a strong showing in a brokered convention. And Mr. $10 Million Gingrich isn't going anywhere for now, and Santorum has too much pride (and likely will show too strongly on Super Tuesday) to drop out.

We are in great shape for the moment, as long as we keep racking up delegates and the race remains fractured.

I'll admit it, I wanted that first place finish today, it would have been a boon.
But that having been said I won't cry of a missed windfall when we had such an awesome showing in our delegate selections in WA.
If they can extend what they did today all the way through the state convention we've just taken the lions share of WA and I'll take a delegate win over a "Santorum" win any day of the week

Hopefully, we can take every single one, other than the automatic ones (party chairman, etc.). That's how it's going to be in a lot of these conventions, I think. Either we have a majority, in which case we can vote ourselves all of them, or we don't, in which case the establishment will not permit us to have a single one. It's all or nothing in a process like Washington's. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There are some cases where it might play out with a split but I do think you are correct that it will be a 'bloodbath' one way or the other in most cases.
The two possible exceptions I can think of are if the votes are close enough that some compromises are made on both sides in the final election tallies
Or if some of our delegates are undeclared and so slip through even in states where we don't have a majority.

The first isn't very likely (in my estimation) and the second seems likely in limited cases for those states where our people know going in that they're outnumbered and so stay low, otherwise it's not that likely either (again as far as I can tell).

But perhaps someone with better info than mine would like to speak up

Or if we make deals teaming up with another candidate to team up to get the majority, and then allocate the delegates a certain way amongst ourselves, ala our team-up with Huckabee in West Virginia last time.

Indeed, things along those lines.

In terms of how the delegates are awarded proportionally, no effect.

In terms of how our supporters can influence the state party, potentially tremendous effect. Much to come on this one...

I'll keep my eyes peeled (and good news is good news )

We're on track for a good chunk of delegates.

Do you happen to know any radio stations with good coverage in TX?
I'm going to be making a push for TX, CA, and NY to get Paul people interviews. Most time consuming part of stage one is compiling stations to reach out to, so I'm asking around

I love to listen to 90.1 radio on the way to work every weekday morning.

HOUSTON

740 AM/ KTRH - Clear Channel owned, biggest station in Houston. Their popular local host Michael Berry has had Ron on before.

700 AM/ KSEV - Owned and operated by State Senator Dan Patrick, a loud conservative voice. Conservative talk only.

SAN ANTONIO

1200 AM/ WOAI - Also Clear Channel owned, shares hosts with KTRH in Houston. Afternoon host is Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo, very popular in the San Antonio metro. Can be heard clearly in much of the Austin metro also.

DALLAS

570 AM/ KLIF - The third of the big talkers in Texas with WOAI and KTRH, KLIF probably has the largest reach of any of the big three.

Thanks very much, this really is a time saver
