In Kansas, a vote for Huck = a vote for Ron Paul [Mod: WARNING! Info is unverified]

[No1ButPaul08]

Yes! This is true.

Votes for Ron in KS are worthless unless he wins. He's not going to win, so caucusing for Huckabee will help lead to a brokered convention.

A vote for Ron Paul = A VOTE FOR RON PAUL

It looks like the Huckabee trolls are out in force now that Romney has folded his tent. Typical threads of vote supression and discoragement that i have seen just prior to other caucus states. Don't be distracted by this bullshit. Kansans know bullshit and this is exactly what this is. VOTE RON PAUL!!

Huckabee has cut a deal with McCain.

someone ban paul08 thanks

 

[No1ButPaul08]

Huckabee has cut a deal with McCain.

I'm not so sure. Huckabee has to get more delegates or there is no deal. Huckabee wants to be VP, McCain isn't just going to give it to him, as he realizes that is a losing ticket

Kansans should know that there is zero,zip, no chance of RP getting 1 delegate in Kansas. It's a winner take all state, where the delegates are bound forever

Is Ron Paul better off with Huckabee or McCain winning Kansas?

My new philosphy (since joining the Revolution) for who my vote goes to is this:

- Voting for who I believe in and agree with gets me the most "bang for my buck". My concience will be clear.

- Not voting when there isn't a worthy candidate sends a message to my party that I am not satisfied with their choice. My concience will be clear.

- Voting strategically is a vote for the status quo. It supports the currently flawed system and way of thinking. It tells my party that I can be manipulated. My concience will not be clear.

I think ROn Paul is better off if Ron Paul wins.

http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008/dashboard/?d=ST there thats my logic, paul is in second and romney is in first, and now romney is out, and on the poll mccain is in third. in Kansas

I think ROn Paul is better off if Ron Paul wins.

But there is 0 chance of that happening. If you say otherwise you are being delusional. Ron Paul will not win any KS delegates, Period. Therefore, to help Ron Paul and the brokered convention, a vote for huckabee = a vote for paul

Yahoo buzz, there's reliability. He's not winning Kansas.

If internet polls determined the presidency we would have won by now

I'm promoting Ron Paul's cause, what don't you understand.

Delegates > votes

KS delegates against mccain > votes for RP in KS

Vote Mike Huckabee in KS for Ron Paul

 

[JulioForPaul]

We need for Huckabee to win as many states left as possible, including Kansas. A brokered convention is Ron Paul's only chance to make some noise. The campaign's whole strategy was to win as many delegates as possible for a huge suprise at the brokered convention.

Vote for Huckabee.....stick around to nominate Ron Paul delegates. If you are a real Ron Paul supporter this is what you would do.

If every American were to adopt this philosophy, the two party system would finally be no more.

 

[No1ButPaul08]

do you people even understand the rules????

It's clearly obvious you don't

Votes for RP in KS don't mean SHIT unless he wins. He hasn't won any states, he's not going to win here.

We're better off with the delegates going to Mike Huckabee over John McCain. It takes a blind man to not realize this

Delegates are not elected at the caucus! That is a separate process in the summer of this year. Delegates have to support the person they are appointed to support.

Also, I don't think Kansas is a winner take all state, with the caucus. Someone point me to some (reliable) contrary info if I'm wrong. Seems to me from what I read about the caucus:

1. The winner of each Congressional District gets 3 delegates.
2. Party officials are in 3 delegate positions.
3. The remaining delegates are given to the overall winner. That candidate must win at least 2 Congressional Districts.

I don't think turnout is going to be very high. Here's why. Kansas has always had primaries. They were one of the latest ones, though, so it was usually decided by the time Kansas voted.

Since 1992, the legislature has voted not to have a primary. I was out of the state for a lot of that time, but as far as I know, they have not had anything. This year they are having a caucus. Most people know the legislature voted not to have a primary. And I think most people don't even know there is a caucus!!! Not only that, but there is a learning curve there. If you've never caucused, what is the chance you are going to go out of your way to find out how to do it.

Some very motivated supporters could do well in that situation, and that's us.

When I get an email from Ron Paul telling us to vote for Huck, I will do so, and not otherwise!!!!!!

I don't think Barry Goldwater, Jr. is going to be a speaker at our caucus to tell us to vote for Huckabee. He's going to speak there to promote Ron Paul.

This all sounds like a plan of Huckabee and his supporters. Look what he did in West Virginia.
