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

This was my thought.

Does anyone beleive that Rachel Madcow was sincerely interested in the inner workings or politics or for the sake of edification?

She hates Ron Paul. She thinks hes a racist and she also believes that free market ideals are evil. This is an attempt to derail.

I only hope it works out in our favor.

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.

South Carolina delegates are bound by the primary votes (at least on the first ballot). Doesn't matter who they are.

I don't know whats wrong with a simple... one person - one vote system across the country... the candidate with the most votes wins! Simples!

On the contrary, it's because we don't expect a winner on the first ballot that their identity matters a whole awful lot. Of course if someone secures a majority on the first vote you would be right, but we're certainly hoping that that doesn't happen, and with so many states awarding delegates proportionally it looks like the convention is likely to go to more than one round of voting.

Because that doesn't work in a society without free media. Since 98% of people vote for who the MSM tells them to, this would end our cause before it started. Delegates are supposed to be more informed and more responsible so that they can choose the best person for the job, even if the popular vote says otherwise...

The process has been made stupid by the two party system and we are republic, not a democracy.

wont the other candidates simply get their people to stick around now post voting and be awarded as delegates thus lowering Ron's numbers???

They would, but they don't have extremely adamant supporters like Ron Paul does.

I don't think it will work, and I don't know if it's in the best interest of the movement long term for it to work.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that while Paul is the man with the ideas, he's not the man to get elected. I'm not convinced that revolution of this scale can come through the ballot box anyway, especially the extent to which the game has been manipulated.
