Good. Get used to it, I'm not going to search something on these boards everytime I want to start a new thread because you're annoyed. I only come on here for about 20 minutes a day.
Does anyone have an actual delegate count that's not from the media?
If you are in a hurry, searching would probably be faster than posting a question and expecting people to know, and care enough to tell you.
Starting new threads should require some new insight, thought, news, or announcement, not be your little discussion group while you take your lunch break. Join an existing conversation/thread already taking about delegates and ask you question in there - it will still raise that thread to the top.
I don't agree with the other poster posting just to say he's annoyed with you starting this thread, and I would have just moved on rather than say something negative, but I felt that you are under-thinking the situation, and don't have to react so negatively to someone who ultimately thinks you are being inefficient but had a poor delivery.
As for the possibility of a brokered convention: It's possible, but chances are shrinking. I'd still say that there's a 40% chance McCain won't win on first round balloting, but if he sweeps the rest of the states (the chances of which are rising), he can't lose.
And even if the balloting continues past the first round - we might move from 100 delegates to 300 (50% chance) if we're good at getting 'uncommitted' slots and having Ron Paul supporters as previously bound delegates, but even then, that's not close to the 1191 needed to win the nomination.
Its not over - but now (not previous to seeing WI results) will I accept the adjective "long-shot".
