Nolan Chart Article - Ron Paul Delegate Wars II ( mention of Dr. Steve Parent)

[Bradley in DC]

I will say that, for sure, McCain has the majority of Illinois Delegates, and most likely will pick up the State Convention's remaining free ones. This is due to our Loophole primary.

California, who does not have a normal convention process, will allocated for McCain as well. (Their state convention has no effect on delegate allocation, and will be after the GOP convention).

As far as I can tell, those states, then, can be counted in the McCain column. Although it is essential we line these conventions as well, for changing state platforms and such.

That is all I am sure on.

All 19 from DC went to McCain (though we did better than any other primary!).

Perhaps we should start up a closed google doc with these numbers?

Sounds productive. or the wiki here on RPFs?

Works for me. I'm not familiar with how the Wiki here works, but if you start it, I'll go ahead and add the Illinois information.

Brad, I agree that the Green Papers is pretty reliable, but I've never found a truly definitive source, and that includes the Rule 15 filing that the RNC requires of every state. So I created my own.

Delegates from Philadelphia:

Fact: In two congressional districts that make up most of Philadelphia (CD-1 & CD-2) there were exactly 6 delegates on the ballot per CD; three RP and three Party

All of the delegates in PA are unboud. What these party delegates will do is certainly debatable, but at this point to say anybody knows what they will do in 4 months is only opinion. (We can certainly try to contact these delegates and find out or try to influence them)

From these two congressional districts we have one RP delegate and one RP alternate (myself).

I've been working with CD-7 as well and know that one of the delegates there, while not an official RP delegate, is not a party delegate either and this is the case in a number of other CD's throughout PA

Opinion: I've not read through every post but enough to get a feel for what's going on... again IMHO there have been people stating cases too optimistically and too pessimistically and both accusing each other of being unfactual. What I've seen is people making posts that are a mix of fact and opinion and someone else ripping them. (DON'T QUOTE MY OPINIONS... PLEASE)
I was just sent the link on Delegates for Ron Paul yesterday... so I have no opinion yet and from reading the posts about Steve Parent... I don't have time to check all the facts... I've seen errors on both sides in the little time I've had to check. As I've been trying to explain the delegate process to people, I've found it challenging to keep up to date on what's going on in each and every state.
I like the idea of trying to provide help to the delegates/alternates... I'm personally going to try and get help locally. I also like trying to influence the other delegates going to the convention... I've heard there are other efforts in the work in this regard. If anyone has any good info on these two items please email me @ [email protected]

Mix (Fact and Opinion): I won my polling place for RP and all of our delegates and I know that is the case for many in PA that I've spoken too. If we had more people at the polls on election day we could have easily doubled our delegate count from PA (we have ~= 5-6 Delegates and 11-12 alternates). It is necessary to keep optimistic with the MSM constantly telling us there is no way we can win. In order to win we also need to organized and show up on election day. I haven't seen the Precinct Leader numbers increase in weeks. Sign up even if your state has already had a primary/caucus https://voters.ronpaul2008.com/grassroots/

Have I ever been too optimitstic in what may be... certainly! Before someone hammers me... talk to people who know me... I've been warning on numerous occasions to check our facts before making public announcements. That being said, the seeds we are planting will grow (probably faster with persistence and prayer). And did I mention that I heard RP was a long distance runner in HS (<-- unverified... don't quote me bro)

Read the whole way through (if you dare). By the end you'll understand.

I'm only on the second page, but it seems like he knew what he was talking about.

I have watched Dr. Steve Parent's posts for a long time. I do not participate in the threads due to how heated they get. Dr. Parent appears to me to be a bit "salty" in some of his communications. But I do not doubt his passion for Ron Paul and the delegate process. At the end of the day I am glad Steve is fighting with us.

 

[Bradley in DC]

It would be nice if Ron Paul Republicans on this site were as vocal as Steve in educating us all in the delegate process. I for one would like to hear Bradley and his followers go on to radio shows or even write articles, enlightening us on the delegate process instead of putting Steve down for all he has done and is doing to help get Ron Paul elected as the GOP nominee.

Phantom,

You obviously are not familiar with my work. Just here on RPFs search my user name and delegates. Even BEFORE the call of the convention, I was here motivating everyone to update their state's rules from 2004 which I posted in every state subforum. I've been correcting the misinformation from "Dr." Steve and his side kick Anson and their treasure trove of everything wrong on How to be a delegate site. And yes, others have posted here how I've traveled to their cities and met with Meetup Groups and explained these things in person.
