Ron Paul Republicans Sweep Maryland Republican Primaries

Legendary and congratulations!

Great news!

Which Ron Paul Republicans/Libertarians/Constitutionlist are running for Congress in Texas?

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

Can anybody tell me where I can find out if our RP delegates were elected? I'm in MD-CD 5, and we had 3 people running for delegate, and three alternates. But, I can't seem to find out if any of them won.

We didn't win a single delegate or alternate in the whole state

Like I said, I'd much rather have delegates than Congressional candidates here, as the former could help get Dr. Paul in the White house, while the latter have slightly better odds of winning than Dr. Paul has of winning the nomination outright, without a brokered convention.

I was really surprised to see 10 dem votes for every 1 repub vote. I knew this was a blue state, but I never new it was so lopsided a contest. Excepting the NW corner of the state, of course (Rosco Bartlett).

Congratulations! And best of luck in the election... We need more congressman who care about freedom!

 

[the Winner is (R0N P@uL)]

great step in taking over congress

If we fill congress with strict Ron Paul constitutionalists, then we'll take over...congress has more power than the president

not after all of Bush's signing statements

he has consolidated all power under the Executive Branch

(like a Dictatorship)

It's good PR that we won some primaries for Congressional slots, however this is a very blue state and the chances of any of them winning the general election is pretty slim.

Yes, we need to consider running ron paul democrats in areas where people don't think and just vote dem. the goal after all is to get people into cngress, not just into the election. obviously, in areas that don't think and just vote republ, the ron paul republican is essential.

Very good point. I don't know if any still exist, but there was once such a beast as a "Conservative Democrat". Larry McDonald was one of the better known examples.

His background was UNCANNILY like Dr Paul's:

* Born in 1935, 5 months earlier than Dr Paul.
* Medical physician
* Flight surgeon in the military
* multi-term Congressman
* Fan of Austrian economics
* Presidential candidate aspirant (for 1988, against GHWB)

And then They killed him.

Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), 64, 2 terms
Larry Craig (R-Idaho), 62, 3 terms
Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), 75, 6 terms
Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), 61, 2 terms
John Warner (R-Va.), 80, 5 terms

This is where it's at. Senate seats. I'd like to see a HUGE effort put in to getting a Ron Paul senate slate elected. Even at the expense of Congressional candidates. It's going to be a landslide against the GOP in Nov, so Congress will be a lost cause with just a few people in it. But the senate, with just 100 people, instead of the 434, will be much easier to influence with just a small number of people.

I live in District 7, and not to get your hopes up or anything, but that is HUGELY democrat. So it will be hard to get him nominated. The current Congressman (Cummings) has been in that seat for ever and the democrats love him

Not only that but Cummings replaced Kweisi Mfume. Don't know the last time that seat was seriously challenged by a Republican.

On the plus side, I was outside the polls on Tuesday and got some favorable feedback from Democrats regarding Ron Paul. So maybe there's a glimmer of hope.

District 7 is Baltimore County and Baltimore City only. Democrat typically gets 80%+ of the vote.

District 7 extends way out into Howard County. It's got to have one of the strangest demographics of any district in the country. It goes from inner-city Baltimore, out to parts of Howard County with million dollar homes. Howard County is one of the wealthiest in the country, when you adjust income for cost of living.

Despite all this diversity, the overall tone of your post was correct - from the inner city blacks to the wealthy suburban whites, they are all uniformly liberal and will likely vote that way in November.

Bump!

Woot! nice!

props

 

[tekkierich]

Don't forget to support our Maryland candidates

 

[Perry]

OP your title is misleading. A sweep would be eight. Don't spoil truth with misinformation.

 

[flames2dust77]

wonderful!

 

[MozoVote]

The Maryland state GOP convention is May 10th. It would not be unusual in most states to nominate your congressional candidates as national delegates. (At least, the non-Paul ones. )

 

[Knightskye]

In district one we managed to oust Wayne Gilchrest. That would be fantastic except for the fact that he was replaced by Andy Harris who in my opinion is just another neo-con. Time will tell I guess. BIG props to the RP Republicans who made it through

Didn't Paul say Gilchrest was a friend of his? Why's him being replaced a good thing?

Ron Paul's platform has crossover appeal for Democrats, Independents, and non-voters. If any Republican can win in a blue state like Maryland, it's a Ron Paul Republican.

Yup
