PEOPLE! NV caucus is NOT ABOUT VOTES

[lvp1138]

The process is made up of two parts. Election of delegates and a NON-INFLUENTIAL straw poll.

The media is reporting the straw poll. Lot of Romney supporters, but very few of them running as delegates.

Lots of Ron Paul supporters running for delegates AND WINNING.

See the posts around here of people reporting their precinct results. We are winning the delegates and that is what matters.

great post.

 

[Doriath]

Yep. I wish the GOP was reporting delegates like the Dems are...

 

[ClayTrainor]

So does that mean ron paul could actually win?

 

[ThisCharmingAzn]

BUT

getting a good percentage in the poll means media coverage...hopefully, and gives some people the impression that ron paul CAN win

I hope we someone would post the total delegates won at the end of the day... or actually the nvgop site should also have that right?

Hmm. I don't think so. The CNN site column heading reads "State Del" where the larger numbers are posted. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#NV

I'm personally assuming (unless corrected) that these are the precinct delegates that will choose the delegates to the National convention sometime later. when?

• Del* - The delegate column shows the most recent estimated number of pledged delegates from this state

They are just extrapolating off the poll results.

I'm not talking about the "Del" column, but rather the "State Del" column, which is the numbers we've all been looking at. Unless they just screwed up the column heading or something. . .

And this is a caucus, not the election.

I put this in several other threads but BIG stragety here. Keep working to tell people about Ron Paul. Every other candidate, repubs and dems also, the majority of the people decided to vote for these candidates RECENTLY. Ron Paul supporters stick with him for the long haul. Once we convert a person, teh work on that person is done.

Keep telling everyone to vote for Ron Paul and why until it is ELECTION DAY.

Sir, I am in Las Vegas. I just came from the caucus a few hours ago. What I posted above is CORRECT.

Nevada will not be reporting delegates to the media for now.

We are talking about thousands of delegates. NOT the delegates that go to the National convention.

 

[lvp1138]

Keep bumping this up.

 

[Fields]

But votes is what cable news will run, over and over.

 

[Xenophage]

we have a chance to win the nevada national delegates

 

[Menthol Patch]

Could we win the most delegates?!?

 

[Myerz]

Regardless....... the better we do.....the better we do.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!

The same asterisk and footnote are on both the "State Del." and "Del." headings, so whatever they are trying to say with that State Del. column, it's still just extrapolated from the numbers that are coming in.

To be honest, I have no idea what they are trying to represent in that column, only that it's an estimation based on the straw poll numbers - or else it's just (as it appears) the actual straw poll numbers, and the heading is simply wrong (as you said).

In the end, which counts for the "WIN?"

If we should win the most delegates, but come in second in the straw poll, who wins? Mitt or Ron Paul? The reason I ask is that at a brokered convention, we have to have won five primaries/caucuses, or is it just primaries?

Can anyone clarify?
