Even if your enemy is trying to ambush and cheapshot you with every dirty move available? For me it would have been selfdefense, but I hope the decision was the right one. We'll see if Romney wins or loses the first ballot. But there is no question it's gonna be extremely tight (best case scenerio) imho.

Please take your bogus app somewhere else, this is a thread about ME. For the millionth time twitter mentions don't = delegates.
Come on man. The guy has 80 post. There seems room in this Liberty Forest for him and his app.

You really think we could have the majority of delegates on the floor, whether bound or unbound?
If the majority of delegates were not our supporters, would it be fair for us to win? Is there a way to win without having the majority of those delegates? Don't get caught in the hype of bound/unbound delegates and talk of 1144. What matters is the butts in the seats. There's a chance that a majority of delegates will be Paul supporters. If the convention is majority-establishment, then Romney will win. If the convention is majority-Paul, then Paul will win. Simple as that.
How do you know that ? Can you prove it ?
Fact is: up to now our GOP Unbound segmentation reflected the mood perfectly: It had Santorum up on par with Romney some weeks ago. It had Ron Paul on 4th when he was a non-topic back in Feb/Mar. Now it has Ron Paul forecasted to 515 delegates. And took it all from Twitter: processing over 1 million relevant tweets each week. I think, no - I believe, that's stronger than your assumptions.
People loving it !

Personally I think it's cool, but at the end of the day it's an algorithm based on internet presence, which has always trended high for Paul and suffers from emotionally charged spikes and valleys.
@Titus, thanks for this inspiration! I'll pay a much closer look to TX & CA and will report what I see. Probably not a case for the app, but could make it a topic here.

this is really important. I'd like to help on winnable districts. Mine likely isn't unless Ron gets a major boost from his delegate wins. It isn't that he isn't liked, people here just listen to media and think he is out of it.
Loving what, your false predictions and false hope?
I don't care how many times the name Ron Paul is twittered, facebooked etc. It has nothing to do with delegate count. We have enough trouble with misinformation with this craziness.
@Titus, all I can do is working on the 'location' tag of a tweet which is user chosen freetext but mostly contains city names. We're getting down on much smaller numbers per city here but it could work out on a weekly aggregation. I'll implement special extracts for TX & CA tomorrow and make these available for anyone to analyze.
Basically, my intention is: produce IMAGES that show Ron Paul IS electable ! If users keep tweeting & posting these images around then they'll IMAGINATE to the sheeple that RP is just not so far from getting this. MSM is operating with images all the time. So our attempt should be to counter that with... IMAGES. Thats what sheeple always believe. They don't read these forums, they don't read the blogs. But they'll easily pick up a chart and see a RP who is in fact closer to victory than they thought. Sarcastic photoshops are nice but they're often not so soft. We also need IMAGES which come around a bit more analytic.
That's what I'm trying' to serve. But you guys have to USE it ! It's not professional to bash it, like some guys here do, just because it's an app. We want to cope with MSM so we have to work all streams!
Predictions get judged when the fat lady has sung. Not before.
False hope? So you don't have any hope ? I'm not projecting Ron Paul frontrunner, by far not. In Feb he was 4th, behind Gingrich!
It has everything to do with delegates. I say: tweet distribution == delegate stance. You say: not. We'll see in August, right ?!
btw, you're free to use any delegate counts of your choice. Perhaps you should propose a new federal law regulating twitter based prediction tools! Go Ron Paul!

22/25 delegates in nevada and maine is ours too. They weren't unbound, but apparently that is part of the plan.

Eh? I thought he only got 8 delegates out of NV
That's because they are bound by the RNC, 22 out of 25 of them are Ron Paul backers.

"[...] A RNC source said the party won’t challenge the results of the delegate election as long as they honor the binding rule."
