Now that the delegate strategy has been opened, won't it be tougher now?

[Darthbrooklyn]

The average voter can barely show up to vote for their guy.. so theyre definitely not going to stick around to be a delegate for their guy

The media seems to be ignoring that interview for the most part.
Even now, watching Faux News, when Ron's delegates were mentioned during the middle of the Santorum/Romney lovefest, the host got angry, made a twisted face, and shouted, "Ron Paul is so far out there, he doesn't have a chance. Let's talk about Santorum!"

LOL

To fill all the delegate slots nationally would start getting close to a million volunteers.

If you can't get 10,000 signatures in a state you don't have a hope of getting 10,000 delegates.

Sorry, that was my first post here and for some bizarre reason it double posted and I cant seem to delete one of them!

 

[affa]

the beauty is that it's never been secret. we made our mission clear 4 years ago, and quite frankly, it's the same mission all campaigns should have: get delegates.

It's a system built from the ground up to help the establishment... but they never realized how easily a group of passionate supporters could turn it on it's head.

we don't need to hide behind the strategy, because the only way they can compete against it is to have a passionate support base... which they don't have.

publicizing this now is a calculated move, and probably is to steal the thunder of other candidates, and change the narrative to: Paul is winning.

It will be easier now. The Ron Paul grassroots is not educated about the process in their individual states right now.

Hopefully this puts a flame under our asses to do the research and become educated about the rules in our own states, and get involved.

Putting the strategy out in the open is a good thing to do right about now. We're about 1/2 through those 'caucus states" and clearly explaining the strategy and stating that it's perfectly legal will cause a lot less problems later when the Ron Paul delegates start the actual vote for the nominee.

In other words, this will prevent riots in the street, although an headline like: "RINOS RIOT!!" would be fun to read.

I think it's better that it's open, it gets the word out to more Paul supporters. The occasional supporters of other candidates who might try the same will be few in number - that's the weakness of campaigns driven on marketing and not substance, support a mile wide and a micron thick.

THIS. And the campaign obviously feels the same way, it's not like this was leaked out by accident. Most voters for the "others" only even make up there mind who to voe for a week prior to voting, so why would they be interested in a form of volunteer civil service for their "choice of the week".

The "I vote for someone only because they will replace Obama" isn't someone who is going work hard for their candidate.

As we know, the campaign is playing chess, while everyone else is playing checkers. For them to put this out in the open like this, I'm thinking there must be an even bigger strategy behind it.

To get each of us looking into and educated about our states rules.

SC for example.. who are the delegates? -- Yet to be decided by precinct/County/State conventions... We NEED to be involved in these. Deadlines are approaching(or have passed) for many states.

This was never a secret anyway.

 

[slamhead]

Well I just read in another thread that the dirty tricks are already starting. In a precinct where Paul had won they suspended the delegate selection. I will see if I can find it.

 

[InTheoryTV]

It isn't a secret. We didn't invent the system, it has been there for years.

Stay focused and have fun!

~~ State Delegate for Colorado ~~

OMG, if this is so, it would be a sampling of the party self destructing via their hate for Paul (Honesty and Goodness he represents).

I don't know what the fate of the crooked aspects of the GOP will be.

This movement is sure to grow and thrive.

Thats what we all have to remember when we see signs of the party further cracking under our pressure to make things right.

Looks like Cumberland is the county to watch out for.

"RINOS RIOT!!" would be fun to read.

"Rino's Riot"!

There are calls from some pundits in the media to end the caucus system. Some states may actually waste taxpayer money on running primaries next time around in reaction to this.

I doubt that things will become more difficult in running delegates in future caucuses because the vast majority of voters are very indoctrinated with "democracy" and won't be motivated to participate any deeper than their simple vote for a candidate.
