looks like RP got 4th in WV...

This is our first power play opportunity. We make deals now. Back Huck and get his votes later.

Huck is not going to win out West. Please don't talk about walking out. That would give up a golden opportunity to get a mark here. We have to at least knock out McCain.

Back Huck? You lost your mind. I would never back that cockgobbler even if it could be beneficial to our campaign. I don't see any benefit in doing that.

I don't think most of Huck's people will follow him to McCain's team. Looking at this optimistically, I think the RP people jumping to Huckabee will be a hand of friendship to the Huckabee group, and maybe that will cause a lot of them to consider Ron Paul if/when Huckabee drops out.

When you say team up, do you mean running on the same ticket? Huckabee supporters don't like McCain. Even if Huckabee was the VP (which he won't be) that's not something that would happen before the convention. There's nothing wrong with him beating Romney. He will drop out before the national convention putting all his delegates back up for grabs. Romney might ride this out to the end. We're less likely to get those delegates from him.

Am I wrong about this. I admit I'm new to understanding this system but that's how I have interpreted it.

I don't really care what "we" think.. at this point.. the caucuses should be looked at like a chess match and thus totally guided by Ron Paul himself. He (HQ) should be telling our delegates who to go with in all of the round 2s and 3s that will surely take place...

But no.. we are left floating in the friggin wind... we could've have given it to Romney if that's what Paul wanted..

There should be a top-down strategy in place to deal with exactly these situations and yet the retarded friggin Libertarians in the campaign don't/refuse to use enough political sense to make a the smart move and pool our efforts in a singular direction.

McCain directed his w.v delegates.. did Paul direct ours?
 
Look, it's simple. You goobers don't get it.

John McCain thinks this is a two horse race. Him and Mitt.

He thinks giving 17 or so delegates to Huckleberry won't do a darn thing to him.

So that's why McCain delegates crossed over Romney and went to Huck. They knew they could take him out ,and they knew that we were going to support Romney.

Our correct play would have been to, at that point, go BACK to Romney, and then when Huck was eliminated, go with Romney again.

It was obvious. The second anyone saw the McCain supporters colluding like that, we should have gone for Romney.
 
Dr. Paul was eliminated the first round, not his delegates votes. They even said prior to the break, you can no horse trade during the break.

I would bet HQ was involved on our vote in the second round. We shall hear before long.

It looks like 164 of 176 McCain supporters went for Huckabee and 28 of 118 Ron Paul supporters went for Huckabee.

It also looks like 57 Ron Paul supporters went for Romney and another 33 Ron Paul supporters walked out.

I would of Walked out!
 
People here are missing the bigger picture. UNLESS McCain picks Huckabee to be the VP, this is more split delegates and it is GREAT for us!

I'm sure that's what HQ was thinking as well. Huckabee doesn't have a shot to get 51% of the delegates at the national convention. The more the votes are split, the better chance for the brokered convention.
 
This good.
the more division the better.

It won't fit the MSM's narrative about a 2 horse race.

We keep getting delegates and use the time to win people over before the convention.
 
I would not have voted for any of the others, but I do think some of the strategy at play makes sense. I'd be glad to see Huckabee knock Romney (but most importantly, McCain!!) down a few pegs so that we can take this to the convention.

OF COURSE McShame would pick Huckleberry in 2 seconds as his VP to secure the nomination. A brokered convention is very unlikely.
 
people think RP supporters are crazy, i really can not read the huckabee forum for more then a few minutes!

Well I wouldn't worry about it, since all of Huck's supporters are claiming that "God" gave them the victory. They literally think that God gets involved in election primaries. :rolleyes:
