There are 11 more that the state committee selects. it will almost certainly go to GoldMormon Sachs. 3 more supers. Unfortunately, we are 2 shy of controlling the delegation. Supposedly 1 might swing after provisional ballots are counted. So its 19-22 or 20-21. Still pretty awesome.

well, otherwise, 19 of 20 would be a landslide....

but I think it was 16 for sure and we should have 18 if they count the provisional ballots according to the rules.

Can anyone verify the attached (as amended by comments) is accurate? Also, since the delegates are pledged to Romney (1st round I understand), is it correct that today's win does not constitute a plurality of delegates (for the purpose of needing 5 states with a plurality)?

And the MSM will give them all to Mitt. I hope some of this goes unnoticed by his campaign. They have gotten pretty cocky already.

Do we have absolutely no shot at those 11?

Posted today that we took a good amount of MA districts. One of my neocon friends posted this:

What better way to completely alienate the republican party! I am sure this is what your movement will want to be remembered by: taking delegates in states where you received less than 10% of the vote. You can guarantee a lot of states will change the rules so that nothing like this can ever happen again.

Whats even better? He always posts about how we are a republic and not a democracy, and that peoples votes don't matter, its our elected representatives that matter.

I sure am not the person to verify accuracy, but it would not count as a plurality on the first ballot at least. But I'm thinking today's results in LA means THAT will be one.

I think when his state senators lost to our plebeian activists, his campaign likely noticed....

nice idea though....

I would say so, unless theyre feeling nice. We dont really need them. Were glipping delegates everywhere. As long as Goldman Sachs doesnt win 1144, its over.

What are the chances that Romney will not get 1144?
Do we have a chance of winning any states? Texas or California?

abwrp2012 · Apr 28, 2012

Latest count?

Can someone summarize this for me?

how many did we get today for sure before provisionals are counted?

how many could we get with provisionals counted?

how many are left besides today's voting?

and to confirm all of these count towards Romney's 1144 right? Meaning they only help us if we doesn't get there before the convention.

If we get media attention on Louisiana and delegate wins next weekend, maybe but the media has been very good at denying Ron momentum for his successes thus far. Hopefully we can. Both are proportional and Texas is an open primary while CA still has registration open for a couple of weeks.

Just got back from MA district 4. We didn't win

It seemed pretty close though, very big turnout from what people told me there. Oh well, still fun, met and talked to some cool people, lots of liberty men and women there. At least I know what its like now. Was a good experience overall.

How many people were in attendance? Remember that number, and bring double next time =)

Growing by the day. I just canvassed all the results. He only has about 576 delegates secured.
Outright? Probably not, but Id target West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky (we really should win this if the campaign actually campaigned), South Dakota, and Montana. Id give us 50% that well win one of these, most likely SD or Montana.
Unfortunately no, but we should rock the delegates in Texas at least.

I definitely would push Montana and SD. I think Ron is thinking of what Reagan had w/ CA and TX but I sure hope he doesn't ignore Montana and South Dakota!!

Ron was running ahead of ANYONE in SD back a few months, the last time they polled..
