We DID WIN Washington!!

If you read the thread from the start, it will be clear to you that he's paid opposition, like jeff. There's no reasoning with either of them.

yeah this kid is a joke. I wish there was an ignore button.

Actually I have noticed that the national delegates reflect the media exit polls very accurately so far. The MSM is crap in other areas of the election coverage, but so far they have been 100% on this issue. So I trust the MSM in this area of election results more than I do some anonymous Ron Paul supporter (and let's face it, we don't tend to post realistic predictions).

OK, fair enough. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It seems they aren't even reporting caucus entrance sign-ins, but primary absentee ballots instead.

Well, I guess we'll see at the county convention April 19.

We'll get a lot more than 21% of the delegates. Until then you can spout all the bullshit you want, but then the truth will come out.

Of COURSE we will. If only 10% of the uncommited are RP supporters, that is still a 23% of the delegates in total for Ron Paul.

But McCain will also get uncommitted. All he has to do is get 19% of the uncommitted to lock in victory. Meanwhile Ron Paul needs 61% to lock in victory. Face it, the odds are AGAINST us.

They sure have, because THE NATIONAL DELEGATES HAVE NOT BEEN ELECTED YET. The only things that are sure are the winner takes all states. Other than that, the delegates are chosen through the process. We're getting a lot higher % in the delegate process than the media reflects. This is evidenced in every caucus state finished already.

Oh I get ya..."uncommitted" delegates go to the RNC and vote for their preference THERE where it really counts , cant mess with a vote if it's unknown..

These caucus states, and primary states as well, have confusing rules.

I think (not 100% positive) that there will be a statewide convention, where the delegates chosen today vote for who goes to St Paul in the summer.

There is an ignore button, shit head.

P.S. I did more for the grassroots than you ever have. Hell, I lead a successful ad campaign and the proof is in hard print. What did you do? Nothing but post ridiculous head in the clouds predictions.

Obviously the odds are against us, but you're talking like this is 100% true, and I'm telling you you're wrong. You keep talking, but you don't actually point to anything that can prove what you're saying is true. I was part of the process today, and ran it for my precint. I know exactly how the delegates were elected today, and we got much more than 21%.

Oh there is? Can you tell me where it is?

Congratulations on being successful, hope that continues to work out for you.

Still waiting for you to grace us all with your first-hand knowledge of what happened in Washington state today. What legislative district and precinct didyou vote in today? Oh, that's right...you're speaking out of your corn-hole and don't know shit.

I'm not disputing that we got more than 21% of the delegates. What I am disputing is that we got more than 29%. Face it, the evidence is pointing in my cases favor. All we have is hope. We don't have the numbers in our favor.

What evidence?

 

[fortilite]

When I started posting in this thread I just wanted to squelch yet another false hope thread (they pop up after every caucus state). Didn't realize I would offend people so much.

What evidence?

26% - 21%

Ok, you win. Ron Paul won Washington. Woo! WooooO! Happy? Just don't pay attention to the news 2 months from now or go back to the Washington forum, you might be disappointed when reality hits.

 

[parocks]

Where I'm from the winner is the one with the most votes.

Well, I'm from Planet Earth.

You wanna know something? Gore got the most votes in 2000, yet he wasn't the winner.

Why? Because there are complicated rules that you don't understand.

Thanks for your concern, however I think I will get a better grasp of what is occurring in Washington when myself and 4200 other delegates attend the county convention and vote for Ron Paul delegates to attend the state convention-that will probably be a more accurate gauge of whatis going on other than the forums and the news.

 

[Seattle4RonPaul]

Wow, that certainly does make sense. Can anyone from WA confirm this? Everyone who showed up was counted in this, not simply the ones who were selected as delegates?

That is exactly right !!! The numbers that are being reported are for "Presidential
preference" that everybody was supposed to put on a sign in sheet.

The actual number of delegates for RP is completely different and it's being tallied by WA state HQ.

Lol...don't try to explain these complex "rules"- he thinks we live in a democracy this whole delegate and electoral college thing confuses him. Judging by the quality of his posts he is likely 19 years old and living in his parent's basement.

 

[parocks]

Yeah, that's relevant to the topic at hand. McCain has more state delegates. He won the majority of precincts. More precincts nominated him than Ron Paul.

Where you finding that data?

Now you are claiming 100% of the undeclared delegates? I need to leave this thread ASAP.

Thank you Seattle- I've been on this f'ing forumfor the past 3 hours trying to explain to everybody how a goddamn caucus works and what numbers are being reported only to be met with conspiracy theories, lies and b.s.

How was the turnout in King County? We did quite well in Pierce.
