Nevada results rolling in now!

[MsDoodahs]

That anjeanette lady just tweeted that they're done with everything except their "trouble box."

 

[MozoVote]

Well as far as "taking wind out of sails" goes, we'll see how Santorum fares getting onto the Indiana ballot. Those lawsuits usually do not work.

 

[MozoVote]

Fair answer for the trouble box: How many votes should it have? Shake it up, draw out that many randomly. Done.

This is Vegas after all, they should "get" gambling solutions. LOL

 

[Trigonx]

latest batch not looking good. looks like we will lose some ground.

Don't know what you guys are waiting on. Ron can't get second, and is already mathematically eliminated in doing so. He is down by 832 votes from what i am seeing, with Clark showing less than 300 votes unaccounted for. So yea, um....there you go.

Our best shot left is Maine...I don't remember if we have any recent polls there but looks like worst we should get is 2nd. (others closer to the end of list of states might include montana, south dakota, etc but by then it could all be over)

I personally think it is over besides the silly behind the scene delegate stuff (shhhhhh because we are the only ones that know about it). I honestly think Ron is holding out for an unforeseen event (economic collapse, run away inflation, dollar collapse, etc) to occur that would justify his message, hence voters would migrate to our campaign. Time travel is real according to David Wilcox. Wonder if Ron can see the future???

I'm still holding out for an Indy run. I just want a choice when I go into the booth in Nov. Could we urge The Judge to run Indy if Ron doesn't? He wins and picks Ron for his cabinet basically making him President.

Seriously, The Judge is very good at speaking convincingly and getting his point across. I know, I know, it's too soon to be thinking like that. :roll eyes:

Maine and Minnesota is where it's at next guys...

They can't. But you assume Paul will have over half the delegates. He won't. Not by a long shot. If he has less than half, he's not the nominee in a brokered convention. End of story.

I am not assuming. I said if we do our diligent work. Popular vote doesn't matter in terms of getting elected. It matters in momentum and perception (caveat: if you are Ron Paul since the only media you get from the whores is antagonistic and filled with lies and manipulation, or outright ignoring). That means we could lose every single state in terms of popular vote and still win the nomination. No one right now knows the delegate count. We have to play quiet and blend in.

This is the first election with proportioned delegates so we automatically get a slice of the pie. It's getting the rest of it that is the challenge. You seem to be assuming he won't have half the delegates. Don't be surprised to see something like this:

First ballot:

825 Romney
500 Gingrich or Santorum
500 Paul
461 Gingrich / Santorum

Second Ballot:

1150 Paul
1000 Romney
36 Gingrich / Santorum

That is if we do our work and blend in as your average joes to party insiders (while knowing who is our own and who isn't). Tricky to do, but possible.

If we don't experience serious voter apathy again. In Nevada it was ridiculous. It makes me so upset that people can't even bother to turn out for something as important as voting for someone like Ron Paul.

Yep. I can't understand the thought process in getting drunk/high/laid instead of voting. It's a couple of hours out of your life at the very most. Damn.

 

[skyorbit]

This is correct... sort of... the RNC can penalize any state by reducing the amount of delegates by 50 percent if delegates do not vote proportionally on the first ballot at the national convention. Hmmm...

NEvada Ron Paulians will have to make the calculation to see if 50% for Ron Paul gets more Ron Paul votes then half of proportional.

Ballgame, we'll get 3rd. Thank you to the over 16k voters that were I.D.'d but chose not to show up. I'm sure that extra one hour of sleep was worth it.

Love the way you think.

Wait less than 300 votes? I think your mistaking precincts for votes? I'm seeing nearly 300 precincts left. Though I agree it's pretty hopeless at this point...being a diehard I just can't help it.

 

[pauliticalfan]

I don't even care anymore. If people don't show up to caucus, Ron Paul can't and won't win. Lesson learned.

This is possible. In any case, you can be assured that our delegate count will grow in the second vote. If it goes up enough to capture the nomination is obviously the big question.

For all we know, all of Santorum's delegates out of Iowa are Paul supporters. Once they get past the first round of voting in Tampa, they switch to Paul. We're already pretty sure that at least some of Romney's/Santorum's delegates are Paul supporters.

Not with that attitude he won't.

 

[bbwarfield]

What's the difference in the two batches? Bo and b03

 

[bluesc]

I don't even care anymore. If people don't show up to caucus, Ron Paul can't and won't win. Lesson learned.

That's why the campaign (hopefully) learns from it. Even Romney and his staff are still learning. It's all about adaptability. Doug Wead knows all about that.

 

[DamianTV]

Its becoming more and more obvious we're third.

I dont even think it is worth my time to listen to the negativity coming from people with this attitude any more. The Popular Vote was NOT OUR GOAL at this moment in time.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

Man, these people suck at counting, unreal it's taking them this long, practically comical at this point.
