Press Releases › Ron Paul Secures Three Delegates in West Virginia State Convention Ron Paul Secures Three Delegates in West Virginia State Convention FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 5, 2008 ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In today’s West Virginia Republican State Convention, Republican candidate Ron Paul’s campaign secured three of the 18 national delegates up for grabs. “Our goal is to secure as many delegates to the national GOP convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul as possible,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “Securing three delegates in West Virginia is an important step in that direction. We plan on locking up more delegates before the day ends.” In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, the three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign. Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their support to Huckabee – putting Huckabee over the top – after Congressman Paul was eliminated in the first round of voting. With three national delegates, Ron Paul secured 17 percent of the 18 delegates that were decided at the State Convention.
lol
The only solution to this mess is to dig a hole big enough to nudge them all in and cover quickly
I took personal offense when Ron and Carol both sent emails pleading for money, for a run for Congress in Texas. Let the cheap Texans buy their own politicians.
Don't trip on your ego, it's the only thing that makes you half way attractive.
Years ago one wag was thinking of running for Mayor of New York City.. He said if he won he would demand a recount.
this is some bizarre stuff: McCain finished 2007 in the hole, with $2.9 million on hand (including both primary-season and general-election dollars), but $4.5 million in debt. His campaign scraped by on a line of credit, which was secured largely with McCain's fundraising lists as collateral. That meant that McCain, age 71, had to take out extra life insurance, because the fundraising lists would lose value without him.
Pep... You take a break and study up on onions???? Or you just come back to heckle, hound and badger me?
Everyone seems to have an excuse for wanting to bail out from the only guy in a long time who has had a clue as to the problems facing this nation---and offering legit ways to fix them It's called scapegoating. Ron Paul won't get elected so the naysayers have to blame someone, and that someone is Ron Paul. Yes it's all his fault. He could have been elected if only he had [fill in the blank here], and because he didn't do that, to hell with him. Who needs Ron Paul anyway?

hehe, sounds like something groucho marx would say
Another subprime loan?/s
Ping Better yet why did he take my money and run???? I took nothing from him.
Now that's sumthin isn't it? The chosen CFR loser. I'll bet his book deals and appearance bonuses will get him to the other side.
I knew his only hope of being elected was to string this out as the inevitability of collapse mounted with each passing day. He killed that with "I AM A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN" in the Surrender to November goodbye message.
exactly :)
kiki It was William F. Buckley, Jr.
I think if Ron honestly thought that the chances of winning a 3rd party prez run was worth forfeiting his congressional seat, he'd have gone for it. As it is, he sees going indi as a worthless effort, and therefore wants to ensure the consolation prize of keeping his C seat.

Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. Even Today (2-10-08), A Possible Brokered Convention Exists! By PrimaryBomb.com | February 10, 2008 But……… unless you’re reading about it here, you probably won’t hear about it. I’m the evil, “kool-aid” drinking, misleading patriot that has been working since the second week in January of 2008 to get the word out about a possible “brokered convention”. Yes, even today (2-10-08 at approximately 7:30PM CST) the possibility of a “brokered convention” still exists. Like a flower, each day, each hour, each minute that goes by, it’s life withers away.
That is not stupid but is convoluted thinking. Ron Paul and no one here ever had the illusion that Paul would win. No one. We were hoping for a start, Paul put himself out there, he was not drafted, he asked for and received our money, millions of it and then took a dive.
I think it is fact that a deal was struck between RP and Huck in WV. I remember seeing mention of it on RP2008.com. Maybe McCain did it also, or did it for free. BTW, is it for certain that Ron Paul himself made that deal, or might it have been his delegate underlings in WV acting without RP's oversight?

If Dr. Ron really thought there was any future left, he'd have planted his flag with the Constitution Party and put some wind into their wings. As it is now, he'll slide back into irrelevance his remaining however many terms and be another one of 435 that only the remnant remember. What a waste.
We were hoping for a start, Paul put himself out there, he was not drafted, he asked for and received our money, millions of it and then took a dive. The revolution spark needed more time to flame. Damn I'm pissed off.
Good thing General Washington did not take a hike from Valley Forge. He was made of sterner material and the Brits had a price on his head.
oh!!! I never heard that. it is funny
Better yet why did he take my money and run???? I took nothing from him. Ummm.... I think you gave it to him. Or did he have a gun?
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
Cute... He was a false prophet and it shows. People better get use to it. Perot was one, he left us with nothing but he spent mostly his own money.
On the bright side, I was only hours away from sending a wad down to Ron Paul for Congress and as I set up the screen that "Message from Ron" came in. Now I'm going to invest it in more useful ways. BLOAT
Good thing General Washington did not take a hike from Valley Forge. He was made of sterner material and the Brits had a price on his head. I have a hunch, call it an intuition, that a message made it to Ron at CPAC. The one that romney got. Just a hunch.
My kind of park!
SeadogBytes has some great art work. I was looking up some of his stuff on Pelosi for another forum and came across that.
President’s Day Money Bomb By scri | February 10, 2008 There is a Money Bomb slated for President’s Day Feb. 18th. Let’s show the WORLD Ron Paul is the PEOPLE’S choice. Thanks, get the word out about Feb.18th.
fwiw, i don't think that Ron Paul will endorse McCain.

Well, ain't you just sumthin special!
God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!
All good Republicans are rallying around McInsane.
Elder Lindbergh and Louis McFadden spoke out against the Federal Reserve. Lindbergh survived assassination attempts, McFadden was gotten on the third attempt. You have more than a hunch.
I'm no longer a Republican.
Right.....
God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!
Most likely you are correct, no formal endorsement but on the flip side, no public comment on McCain whatsoever. Again a tacit endorsement, once a pub always a pub, I am loyal pub, all BS.
I would not be proud of such a statement. Paul should be ashamed. Americans of all stripes rallied to him and his message and do not deserve to be dismissed because Paul gets political religion all of a sudden.

:))) Everything that you said on the topic of eLections and Ron Paul's candidacy turned out to be wrong, stupid, irrelevant, naive, loony or a combination of the above so, maybe you should be listening to someone who is almost always right, relevant, informative and insightful because you just might learn a thing or 2.

i agree with _______ who questioned, "How is having a seat in a corrupt Congress as the "Titanic" sinks more important than running a massive message/real effort to win 3rd Party campaign through to November?"
#226. To: Pinguinite (#225)
Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.

But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.
