Maine Caucus Results Here

Is the Maine convention winner take all or proportionate to the delegate voting results?
 
bump = he said he didn't want the word/state said because they still have caucuses left so please consider deleting it colin1 and Mike

It doesn't matter much regarding the delegates, because the MSM has spoken and Romney won in Maine followed by McCain. We needed to win the straw poll as a confidence builder moving into Super Tuesday. Didn't happen. Next.

The delegates are the only thing that matters. If people in primary states want RP supporters in Maine to concentrate on useless stuff in order to get a mythical boost from mythical media coverage; then who is being unrealistic about what is "needed".

People in primary states and other Super Tuesday states should be on the phones RIGHT NOW in their own precinct. Not pissing around online wondering what people in Maine are doing.

I am really impressed with what's happening in Maine. And am picking up lessons to duplicate for our caucus here on Tuesday. Congrats Maine !!!!!

It's incredibly naive to think that anyone outside of ron paul supporters cares about the intricacies of caucus procedures. When you're trying to convice people that think he's unelectable it helps to have had a clear cut victory.

You are acting like winning the delegates is something like winning an age demographic - sure its great to win but if you dont win the whole thing it doesnt matter. But it isnt something as inconsequencial as that - it isnt a minor "intricacy" that only us Ron Paul supporters would dig up in order to look on the bright side of things. Winning the most state delegates is how you win the 18 national delegates.

I think you're missing the point that others are trying to make here. If Ron Paul had won 90% of the straw poll votes (i.e. clear cut victory), CNN would remove the results from their website and wouldn't report at all on the outcome. We have to deal with the reality of what's happened in this country, - the MSM is owned and operated by the military-industrial-complex, the petroleum-industrial-complex and the medical-industrial-complex (all of whom answer to the central and commercial bankers). Fact is fact. They will actively oppose Ron Paul by any means, be it blackout, spreading falsehoods, falsifying polls,...you name it.

If you are even still watching MSM and thinking its real news, then you haven't quite figured it out. Its all fake. Its all spin. Not just Fox, but all of it. Not just TV, but the newspapers and magazines. When they throw us a bone, its a trick and will be qualified by statements such as "he doesn't register in the polls", "he's a fringe candidate", etc.

The MSM has chosen our candidates for 100 years. We have to think and work outside of the box if we are to overcome their stranglehold on our electoral process. They will oppose Ron Paul to the bitter end. I submit to you that your waiting for an MSM "hurray for Ron Paul!" is a response that you have been unknowingly conditioned, by them, to seek. Turn them off. Tune them out. Forever. Get your news elsewhere. If everyone does it, they disappear. Its that simple. I'm continually amazed that people still view content from these providers.

Excellent post, although I don't agree that EVERYTHING the MSM reports is false. Even the sheeple would pick up on that. There has to be just enough truth to keep them docile and unaware.

The key to winning the country back (here in Canada too) is from within our neighbourhoods, villages, towns, and cities. Get involved in community politics and social events, get on local boards, participate in campaigns and run for local office, write letters to your local papers, hold special events (e.g., set up a viewing of Freedom to Fascism, Zeitgeist, etc.), ...

Exactly. I was exaggerating for "effect". They have to report some truth or include some truth in a falsehood to maintain a modicum of credibility. Local "feel good" stories can serve this purpose.

BTW, I LOVE Vancouver Island and have some dear friends who live there. You live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
 
What's going on? Can someone explain?

I've been checking the Maine Primary on CNN since Friday night, when it reported 68% of precincts voting. Now it's Monday morning and they still say 68% reporting, but now Romney has won. Why haven't they reported the other 32% of the vote? Where did it go? Did Paul actually get 2nd? Am in the Twilight Zone?!!!:confused:
 
I think it is the weekend. I have also noticed that there really isn't much new news on the weekend. It is if the news channels and all newspapers take the weekend off completely. Probably they will be laying them off soon, and they will then experience what it feels like to many of us have lost our jobs where I live. I guess paybacks are a bi_ch, eh? They have been manipulating the news for so long I believe it will come back to bite them in the arse.

Tomorrow, you will see the results. I think they were still voting today in Maine.
 
Best post award

This is possibly the best post I've EVER read on this board. Superb writing and terrifically accurate points. We must ignore the MSM and eventually, they will go away.
 
Yes... joenaab, Sey.Naci RonPaulFTW08 Defe07 Tangeley
that's about the size of itL Gov/Media floods the USA with
blue pills. The elete have redundant backup systems in
place to prevent the people from waking up, electing honest
leaders, and living free.

Good idea J Free ....A man named H. Browne said, "maybe
in '08, certainly by 2012" if I recall correctly from WGDW.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
...and kyleAF, your sig re: Iranian Oil Bourse is 'da bomb!

That will lead into WWIII if the US nukes the island of Kish
(if those undersea cable cuts didn't convey the "message")
all done in order to "save the USD"... Have a nice day!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Flying Spaghetti Monster, please save us from a pentagon
full of maroons... and let Ron Paul win.
 
NBC is owned by General Electric which owns G.E. Aviation which I believe is the 3rd largest manufacturer of aircraft engines for the U.S. military. Here's the wikipedia link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE-Aviation

Here is a list of news shows that are a part of NBC:

The Today Show
NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams
NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt
Dateline NBC
Early Today
Meet the Press with Tim Russert
MSNBC
CNBC

I happened to catch some of Meet the Press earlier today & they were talking about Super Tuesday & which republicans would get which states. Their graphic of the candidates listed Mccain, Romney & Huckabee. They didn't even say Paul's name (like he was Lord Voldimort or something). I think they also mentioned Romney would win Alaska even though I've been reading stories that Dr. Paul has a very good shot at getting Alaska.

My point I guess is that the mainstream media blows & they are corrupting the election process. Unfortunately there are millions of people out there that get their news from newspapers & the mainstream media. An example of this would be my boss. I was wearing my Ron Paul Revolution T-shirt at work on casual Friday & my boss walked by & noticed and asked why I was wearing that. When I told him because I plan to vote for him, he told me that he thought Paul left the race weeks ago. When I asked why he thought that, he said because they only listed the other republican candidates in the newspaper. My boss is the vice-president of the advertising department of a huge grocery store chain in the midwest & he had no friggin' idea. What was even more disturbing is when I asked if he was going to vote in the Wisconsin primary, he told me he was waiting until it came down to the final two before he would vote even after telling me that Hillary & Mccain scare the hell out of him.
 
Old Media tries very hard not to present outright lies.

Even they understand that their are limits.

Old Media therefore uses misinformation as its biggest tool.

Those who think that if-only-the-MSM-understood-how-Ron Paul-will-change-things...........are fooling themselves.......the MSM knows exactly what Ron Paul represents. That is why they are trying to silence Ron Paul


First they ignore you

Then they laugh at you

Then they fight you

Then you win
