GOP strategist predicts Paul will be on the Republican ticket Infowars.com February 9, 2012 The Ron Paul campaign issued a press release yesterday announcing that the Congressman was winning the battle for delegates in the lead up to the Republican National Convention, with with Paul himself adding that he believes he has unlocked the secret to winning the GOP nomination. “We are thrilled with the yesterday’s results.” Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Manager John Tate stated, “Our campaign to Restore America continues to gain ground, and we are poised to pick up even more delegates from Minnesota and Colorado adding to our delegates in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.” “As people across the country view the results of yesterday’s contests, it is important to consider a few facts that have not been clearly reported. Not one single delegate was awarded yesterday, instead the caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado were the very first step in the delegate selection process. And there are still over 40 states left to go. The Ron Paul campaign plans to continue to vie for delegates nationwide.” Tate added. Tate pointed out that the caucuses were essentially “non-binding beauty contests”, and that the Paul campaign is poised to pick up many more delegates in Missouri, Colorado and Nevada than the straw poll numbers indicate. Tate also stated that following a strong second place showing in Minnesota, “the Paul campaign is well-organized to win the bulk of delegates there.” “We are confident in gaining a much larger share of delegates than even our impressive showing yesterday indicates. As an example of our campaign’s delegate strength, take a look at what has occurred in Colorado” Tate added, pointing to the fact that delegate slots do not directly correlate with the straw poll vote. As the graphic below illustrates, in several counties in Colorado, Paul won ALL the delegates despite coming in third or even fourth in the straw polls: “We are also seeing the same trends in Minnesota, Nevada, and Iowa, and in Missouri as well.” the Paul campaign statement read. The Congressman appeared on Cavuto last night and explained: “In some of these states I can come in third or fourth, but because we have the organisation we might get the most of the delegates. A lot of people don’t understand that, I shouldn’t let the secret out!” Paul noted. Paul conceded however that in order to stand a real shot he needs to finish in first in some of the primaries and caucuses. “I think for PR purposes and credibility you have to win some states.” Paul said

One thing I've learned from politics, if you do not win the big states such as Illinois, New York and California, you don't have a snowball's chance of winning the nomination.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” —Samuel Adams
Great material on this thread. It gave me back my sliver of hope :)
Would that be his best move ?
One of the good things to come out of his potential nomination would be after they killed him there would be a bigger awakening of the sheeple. It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere. Voltaire An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire

Would that be his best move ? No that would be horrible, but better than nothing if RP would even accept such a position. It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere. Voltaire An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. Voltaire
"The secret" is to keep the precinct managers and whoever else is involved in stealing votes from doing that. Ron needs to "teach 'em to don't" but so far I have seen no evidence that they have quit screwing with him and none that they are going to quit. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance.

I've been trying to record the Delegates per State and there is much weirdness afoot with that matter. This site, as of today, shorts Ron Paul at least 11 Delegates: 2012 Primary Schedule « 2012 Election Central -- 2012 Delegate Tracker That's a total of 227 Delegates but the States that have voted so far only have a total of 219 Delegates, according to that site. This CNN site below has 2 Delegate Totals in Iowa for Santorum: 7 and 8; Paul 7, Romney 7, Gingrich 2, with 4 or 5 of the 28 Total Iowa Delegates not assigned at all. CNN also shows 23 Delegates already assigned between Romney and Gingrich in 12 areas (States + D.C and some territories, a number of which even have more Delegates than some of our States do!) where no voting has taken place yet; 20 for Romney and 3 for Gingrich: Primaries - Scorecard - Election Center 2012 - Elections & Politics from CNN.com That CNN site reports these Delegate totals as of 02/08/12: Total Pledged Delegates = 182 Iowa apparently has only 99% of votes reported and Missouri's vote = 0 Total Delegates currently. Believe it or not, Missouri's 02/07 election didn't count yet for anything except as a "beauty contest" (ref: 1st link above). The real vote there (for 52 Total Delegates) is scheduled March 17. The Texas vote scheduled for 04/03 in Ron Paul's home State (with 155 Total Delegates) may be delayed due to pending redistricting issues (ref: 1st link above). Vhat a mess. Edited for spelling. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
02/07 CO 100% Reporting 36 Total Delegates: G=2, P=1, R=13, S=17 Totals=33 | -3 Delegate Discrepancy Edit to add: Calculated from the 2 referenced links at Post #12. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

Would I be correct in assumng G=Gingrich ? "I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs
G=Gingrich P=Paul R=Romney S=Santorum ? Yes. I was short on space to keep the calcs on one line per State. :) ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC

Minnesota Caucus Entrance Polling Numbers Ron Paul Leading Santorum Second Comment at the site: "We filled at least 5 of our 15 delegate spots with Paul supporters though. I'm sure the number is higher than that, but 5 that I know of are Paul supporters." Fraud Alert at the one minute mark. Although Missouri is scheduled to have a revote on March 17 for its 52 Delegates, and Ron Paul was reported to have won 27.1% of the Minnesota vote, his Minnesota Delegate Total of 4 at the CNN link in Post #12 is lower than the 5 noted at the Comment above for just 1 precinct and should be much higher than 4 or 5 Total MN Delegates for nearly 30% of the vote there -- around 11 of the 40 Delegates for that State, I would guess; more than double the CNN count. Here, CNN reports that Ron Paul had 18 Delegates before the Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado votes but only 19 after those elections -- gaining just 1 Delegate Total more, even though he was second place in Minnesota: What Is The Delegate Count After Santorum Wins Colorado Missouri & Minnesota Nevada Vote Fraud Now Official - The Entire 2012 Election is Rigged for Romney to win ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

I don't know what to think about that cuz my brain's on the tuckered side after this lengthy arithmatic session. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
I was already on the weird side of weary when I proffered problematic prognosis. Or was it just the one? Peace, GreyLmist.

Or was it just the one? A multiple choice pop quiz, eh? Um...I'm gonna guess just the one problematic prognosi proffering.
