looks like RP got 4th in WV...

[PauliticsPolitics]

sadly, it looks like RP has recieved 4thin the first round of the caucus in West Virginia. Thus he will be eliminated and then the deligates have to vote amongst the top 3. I'll keep y'all posted in this thread.

What in the hell is wrong with West Virginia? You would think the most poverty stricken State would be all for someone like Dr. Paul. Unless our delegates can somehow revolt and refuse to cast their vote than I hope they vote for Huckabee. I do not agree with the man at all but at least it would really piss off McCain and Romney.

the first round of the caucus:
464=ROMNEY
118=PAUL
176=MCCAIN
375=HUCKABEE

it seems huckabee has quite a good chance.

Is this just one precinct?

 

[MJfromCT]

McCain's cronies have a tough decision in this next round on who to support. Obviously McCain has zero shot at this state.

No, this is the state delegate convention.

 

[Eponym_mi]

Huckabee 375
McCain 176
Paul 118
Romney 464


Ron Paul will be eliminated from the next round of voting. I have no idea how the next vote will go. Do Ron Paul supporters walk out?

 

[Give me liberty]

What do you mean by eliminated ?

 

[robert4rp08]

Crikey. RP delegates should vote for Huckleberry then.

 

[Dustancostine]

I hope they go for Huckabee too, we need a brokered convention.

Or at least Mitt, but not Mc100.

--Dustan

On a side note, it does appear that the RP delegates can play King Maker, RP should be pulling some strings and getting some promises from Mitt, for the delegates.

[MGreen]

I assume McCain's delegates will mostly go to Huckabee, if they're organized.

I'd love to see the RP delegates walk out.

 

[grizzums]

Geez, I thought we had a good chunk of the delegates??? What the hell happened??

 

[Eponym_mi]

What do you mean by eliminated ?

Ron Paul will not be an option in the next round of voting.

 

[GoDrNo]

Huckabee 375
McCain 176
Paul 118
Romney 464


Ron Paul will be eliminated from the next round of voting. I have no idea how the next vote will go. Do Ron Paul supporters walk out?

I was wondering the same thing...maybe give the vote to Huckabee? Better him than Romney or McInsane as far as someone besides RP getting delegates.

 

[PauliticsPolitics]

This is a "convention" so it's not over until a candidate has 51% of the vote at the caucus. So Each round they will eliminate the lowest scorer. The tallies are low because these are county delegates voting. There is a primary also in may. you can read the rules here:

Good job West Virginia, I know that y'all worked hard. 11% is pretty good. You should be proud.

Way to go W. VA! Thanks for all your hard work!

the first round of the caucus:
464=ROMNEY
118=PAUL
176=MCCAIN
375=HUCKABEE

Wow, it almost looks like they line up in terms of the "perceived religiosity" of the candidate.

Well, thanks WVA RPR for all your hard work! We didn't take any trouncing, our numbers aren't pathetic next to McCain's, proving that we are still competitive with various top-contenders in various states!

There is no defeat when the oppressed rise. Liberty exists the moment they take it.
