Hey guys, do you have a live stream somewhere to some good network? Thanks!
 
wrong Wrong WRong WROng WRONg WRONG.

2nd place is NEVER as good as 1st place and quite frankly your attitude is delusional.

Knock it off.

Chill out, it's moral victories at this point dude. The chance of Ron as the nominee is slim we all know that even Ron.
 
We're not getting any delegates out of Georgia. We're at 8%, and there's a minimum of 20% to get delegates.

The delegates are ONLY bound on the first ballot of the national convention or until the candidate that they're bound to drops out … after that they're free.

The vast majority of the delegates are RP supporters - which is why such a HUGE stink came out from the GOP in GA.
 
If VA is too close to call then we almost certainly broke 40% statewide and that in turn implies having won at least a couple of Congressional districts, and the delegates that come with them.
 
First VA results in: 38%.

May Virginia give us our greatest % ever?

If so, I'm proud of my state.
 
Mitt Romney 4,857 59.34%

Ron Paul 3,327 40.65%

62-38 in Virginia, per CNN. Time to look up the delegate rules.

Tuesday 6 March 2012: 46 of 49 of Virginia's delegates to the Republican National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in today's Virginia Presidential Primary.

33 district delegates are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 11 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates.
13 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 3 bonus delegates) are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide. Compute percentages to 3 decimal places, that is, 50.000%. The delegates are allocated to the presidential contenders as follows:
If a candidate receives 50.001% or more of the vote, that candidate is allocated all 13 at-large delegates.
If no candidate receives 50.001% or more of the vote, the 13 at-large delegates are allocated proportionally among those candidates receiving 15.000% or more of the vote. Rounding rules: Beginning with the candidate receiving the largest number of votes, round the fraction to the next whole number of delegates. Continue this process with the next highest vote getter and repeat until all the delegates are allocated.

So Romney is going to get the 13 bonus delegates. We'll get 3 delegates per district we take.
