If McCain lost VA is he finished? And if so...

what would that mean for our Ron?

No, McCain would have to lose nearly every additional state from now until the nomination by more then 30% for Huck to get enough delegates. Most of the winner take all states were on Super Tuesday.

McWar is polling very strongly in VA. My state has a very strong military presence and i'm afraid they will vote for McWar. We have a very tight race on the Dem side and an open primary so maybe he won't do as well with crossover voters?

Vote for Ron Paul in Virginia. McWar has an event today at 5:30 at the VA Aviation Museum. Lets show our support for the Peace and Liberty Alternative and have a big RP turn out.

This makes sense, since I know it is almost impossible for the Huckster to get enough delegates to automatically become the nominee at this point. But how badly does McInsane have to lose just to keep him from getting enough?

Yes, but we need him to only get 60% of the remaining delegates, plus most are winner take all by Congressional District, and these states are where Huckabee is the strongest. Ohio and Texas are CD and will probably go to Huckabee with most of the Congressional Districts. The only ones that are Pro-McCain, except Rhode Island and Vermont, are proportional, meaning Huckabee will get enough delegates to move into a brokered convention.

The reason why McCain has such a strong lead is because most of his states where he is strong have already voted, and the rest have lots of influence, but will not be able to decide the nomination.
