Ron Paul has WON the popular vote of the Virgin Islands (No BS, official GOP results)

[PolicyReader]

Google won't even put Virgin Islands as a result set on their map LMAO

We should see if we can get them to fix that. Find the feedback/support e-mail for Google politics and helpfully let them know their map is broken absent results from Virgin Islands (and any other recent ones like Guam etc if those aren't showing)


Note: Google results are used as a resource by many other outlets (including sometimes the AP) so this change could get the information into circulation on a wider scale.

Of course the only place we won had to be the Virgin Islands...

I can already see the late night jokes now. There are certain stereotypes surrounding RP supporters, you know.

I don't want to be the downer here but the, uncommitted that went romney, took his 31 votes to romney too.

It's the only place we weren't cheated out of you mean?

What? There's a stereotype that RP supporters are virgins? That's new to me

Big Flick is, PAUL WON A CONTEST.

Big Caveat is, Paul has still not won a STATE.

How did we end up winning this?

Who live in their parents' basements, yes. These are jokes I see all the time.

Better to joke about us winning than losing.

That's not exactly how that works. There's a presidential preference poll, which are the totals reported, and then there are votes for each individual delegate--the 31 he got. They don't affect one another.

This guy can tell you. He's the only one that was elected as a delegate for Ron Paul.

wah, how is there voting set up there? This would be a new method on me (tho that's not to say it doesn't work that way, I don't claim my knowledge is universally comprehensive)

^Now this is more what I'm used to when it comes to how things work.

No, there was no presidential preference poll. No one got to vote for "Ron Paul" or "Mitt Romney".

Each person was able to vote for six delegates only. They tabulated the votes based on which candidate's delegates got the votes.

OK still we were beat by uncommitted then.

I think that would be the news report.

Yeah, but weren't they voting for these delegates knowing who they were supporting, except for the "uncommitted" ones? If the official VI GOP has Paul with the biggest % (after Uncommitted, anyway), then I say we can call it a WIN!

 

[unknown]

So Paul wins pop vote in U.S. Virgin Islands and suddenly the MSM likes to talk about delegates (in this one instance) yeah

Still it's a good thing and I'll take it. Anyone have contacts in Hawaii to share the word with? Maybe we can get some momentum out of this

EXACTLY. My first thought.

 

[opinionatedfool]

Shouldn't people be tweeting the hell out of this now before MSM starts putting it out wrong everywhere?

I tweeted it and I've already had 10 retweets!

 

[PaulSoHard]

I'm still calling it a win for Dr. Paul

 

[sailingaway]

Our first win?

So, maybe Freestate would be islands?

Not the worst idea...

 

[LCG8928]

The MSM keeps saying Romney won, we need to spread the truth anywhere and everywhere.
