The I'm feeling better now thread

I'm feeling better now that 1 hour has passed. Washington is the next target to get the monkey off our back.

My impression was that we really needed a Maine victory but seeing 36% is still a pretty good sign. Close enough, and from a delegate standpoint it is a tie. A very close second is a very good finish.

If the same thing happens in Washington, I'll join a half-hearted write-in campaign as a way of keeping Paul's message on the table. I don't think a finish of this sort in Washington allows us for a Paul nomination.

I've played golf with long, accurate drivers who split the fairway, 275 yards, 80 yard pitch, get on in 2 and then 4 putt for a 6, while I am way left, way right, way past and on in 4 and 1 putt for a 5 and a win.

We doubled our percentage from last time. So we actually did we very good and we haven't even lost the vote technically. There are still 16% of precincts outstanding and we might win the vote when it is all said and done...

No you haven't. Certainly not a 3 touchdown win. But you have played a lot of games where a team that gets more yardage and time on the clock WINS by 3touchdowns.

Otherwise it is because a lot of turnovers. And I don't know exactly what you are trying to translate a turnover in a primary race.


And the golf analogy is just as silly. It would be like playing match play, and we are heading to the 6th tee already down 5 holes.

Ron Paul does NOT need people with their heads in the clouds.

Yes, impossible right?...defense lets their passing game go relativley un-checked, until the red zone, where their running game and short passes fail. 3 and out. Our passing game was superior. Wash, rinse, repeat. Game over.

Maybe you'd like to tell the class your resume' in relation to your contribution to Rons campaign, Louis...

Great job by Maine! 36 percent would have seemed like a pipe dream 4 years ago. We still need our first win, but don't overlook what a great showing this was.

And Ron Paul has now beaten Newt in 5 of the first 9 states, by large margins.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

I am not angry anymore.. But I am upset with this Romney/Ron truce that has been going on. If the reports are true about Romney pulling some strings in Maine... the truce definitely should end NOW. Even if its not true.. it should end. =|

Have you been listening to the media? Ron Paul should be able to get all the delegates from Maine. Not just evenly split with Romney 11-10.

I was never disappointed. I got high and went to relax and stargaze for a few hours, did a bit of work, some study and read more of a book. I got enough done so that I can relax on Sunday. I wasn't even tracking the results, and didn't watch any media and had no idea who won. Trust me guys, it's much better that way.

 

[Danjlion7]

Probably right.

I'm thinking about creating a thread to explain this. Paul probably dominated the Maine delegates, even if the Maine GOP tried to cheat and give them to Romney in secret caucuses. Even any official count of delegates should mention that while Nevada's delegates are bound proportionally, there is a chance Paul supporters can hijack the state convention and take most if not all of the delegates to the national convention in Tampa.

Judging by what Wead has said, we took the majority in Minnesota, Colorado, Iowa and now Maine.

Someone should do the math. We are most likely in the lead with delegates.

Maines delegates are unbound to the caucus results, just like Minnesota. I can see Ron getting 80% of the delegates both states.

 

[harikaried]

I don't think it's possible to get 80%.

It's either some percentage under 50% or 100%.

Once Ron Paul gains the majority of delegates (50% or more) at each caucus level, those Ron Paul delegates will only vote for other Ron Paul delegates to move forward. (And the minority don't have enough votes among themselves to beat the Ron Paul votes.)

I believe this is where the concept of winner-take-all-for-over-50% comes from.

I was never all that disappointed from the start, and I live in Maine. I will be a delegate and I'm bringing 2 more, but before I checked the results I reminded myself not to be too optimistic and that helped. Compare that to IOWA!! I think I still have a hangover from that night.

Are we outperforming the vote percentages with delegates? At least in your precinct?
