Whoa! We ARE actually going to WIN when they vote for Ron Paul at the RNC in September!
We still have plenty of time to gain even MORE momentum. It is a brokered convention...can you say "BROKERED CONVENTION" and thus NOBODY has won the nomination. The front-runner McCain nor any of the others can gain enough delegates to win the nomination at this point. It is IMPOSSIBLE for any of them to win enough delegates to claim the nomination. This thing is going ALL THE WAY to the Republican National Convention in September!!! Something like over half of the 600 delegates that McCain did pick up on Super Tuesday are "Ron Paul supporters."
McCain did NOT pull 51% of the vote on Super Tuesday and he will NOT get 51% of the vote at the RNC in September. They then go into the 2nd round of votes at the RNC and THAT 2nd TIME AROUND all of those Ron Paul delegates are no longer legally bound to follow the popular vote and thus those delegates get freed up to vote however they please. With over half of McCain's 600 delegates being "Ron Paul" supporters, and with them no longer being "legally bound" to vote for McCain come/during the "2nd round"... guess whom they are going to vote for? You guessed it right! RON PAUL!!! Can you say "RON PAUL"!
And all these people in here were thinking WHAT??????
That it's OVER!!! HOW BLIND CAN YOU BE!!! It "IS" nearly OVER...for McCain and the OTHERS!!! But certainly NOT for Ron Paul! We have never looked BETTER than what we do here and now today! We are now completely posed and in a position to win this! YEAH! YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! WE ARE GOING TO WIN PEOPLE! This is absolutely AWESOME!

Sorry
But the other candidates will pool whatever resources to help each other keep Dr Paul from being nominated...No way will the GOP allow Dr Paul to be nominated..That's just a sad reality !
we've
we've read other places the '5' states 'rule' is not accurate.
Please seek out accurate info. before commenting here or anywhere.
Um Link
The previous poster just provided the link
http://www.gop.com/About/Rules31-41.htm
"Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from "
We may have 5 states really soon, now that Romney has dropped out
We were second place to Romney in Montana and Nevada.
According to much speculation we were second place to Romney in Wyoming as well (apperently romney JUST barely beat us in each county conventiog)
The MOST important rule
RULE NO. 32
Suspension of Rules
A motion to suspend the rules shall always be in order, but only when made by authority of a majority of the delegates from any state and seconded by a majority of the delegates from each of five (5) or more other states severally.
At ANY time during the convention (I assume of course this is AFTER the first legally bound vote though it could be before, stragegically we should wait for after, UNLESS it appears McCain might win on the first vote, then drastic rule changes would be neccesary).
ALL the Ron Paul supporters, if Paul is not on the nomination list. We CAN and should at that point have the numbers to call for a suspension of the rules. Tada, we win!
We need a confidence vote
We need a confidence vote money bomb.

Here's the link on RNC Rule 40
Note: That the majority of delegates has to be proven BEFORE the name is submitted as a nominee. You should at least beware of this rule before the convention.

Become a Delegate
If your state is still electing delegates, become one. In Massachusetts you have until February 13 to register Republican (if you are independent, I'm not sure voting in the Republican primary automatically makes you Republican anymore). Then watch for the local caucus dates and get all your friends to support you.
How do you know 600
How do you know 600 delegates are ron pauls supporters?
Is this info coming from somewhere? Please elaborate.
sorry half of 600.
sorry half of 600.
How can everyone be so sure
How can everyone be so sure we are going to a brokered convention? A lot can happen between now and Sept.... and the GOP doesn't want a brokered convention. They want a clear and strong frontrunner to bring the party together. Deals will be made prior to Sept. and this brokered convention will likely never happen. I hope it does, but lets not count on it!
Please stop counting on a brokered convention. There is too much time between now and Sept.
Because it is not possible
Because it is not possible for anyone to receive 1191 delegates now from the remaining states even if Mccain sweeps every state he can not get enough delegates to secure the nomination

How can you be sure that we are not?
I am so sick of all the WET BLANKETS on this site ....keep HOPE alive.

wishful thinking
This is wishful thinking that leads to great disappointment. Better get your feet on the ground and some realistic expectations. We are in this for the long haul, not the quick win.
BUMP

You're forgetting the RNC Rule 40 - must win 5 states...
If you think the RNC won't hold RP to this rule....
"The question is not who will let me- the question is who will stop me" - Ayn Rand
"The question is not who will let me- the question is who will stop me" - Ayn Rand
are you sure?
I would like to see the rules...
Can you post this link?
Bottom line....even if the rules are true.....the more Dr. Paul stays out there the more we educate Americans to the truth and the more we have a chance of winning states.

You're not reading it right
It says must have the majority of delegates.. ;)
We're getting those, it's not about the beauty contest straw polls in caucus states, it's all about the delegates.
Become a delegate!

Thank you Devon
for giving out the ACCURATE information.
This is what aggravates me and others more than anything is all the DISINFORMATION that is spread .....
We have all got to be on the same page and stay united.

RP have now more than 49 delegates
And this number is going to grow, soon!
Texas is not going to let RP down, we have to canvass more in there
I hope all the candidates stick it out
All four GOP candidates need to be at the convention. Reality will catch up the voters by November. Helicopter Ben still has the points on the board to drops rates toward zero, but the results will still be the same. Dollar down, Gold up.

I'm sick of.....
....hearing about the West Virginia delegates.
Why?
Are you sick of hearing how RP delegates can make deals when they see the oportunity to gain some delegates for RP?
Give me a break and do something like all the others!
Megabump!
Can we just keep this at the top? This is very cool!!
Follow me on Twitter!
I keep saying this
Those who say we can't win are Huckapee, mcinsane and rambo supporters trying to sabotage our efforts!
Can anybody keep such post in the top!?
PS
BTW...I'm still having a blast throwing a wrench in their gears with my man Ron Paul. Remember a few months ago when they were calling RP a gadfly? LOL...They aint seen nothin' yet!
Believe this!
The naysayers out there and amongst us would have you believe this is not possible. IT IS! It is a very real probability. This thing is far from over , folks. Especially if we all get busy on the 18 remaining states!
Now that you are re-educated and know the truth, do you really have any other choice?
Just like Ron Paul said, he cannot give an endorsement to any of the other candidates until they recognize the constitution. Well, I feel the same way. We all have a duty now, to vote for truth! Weather it prevails this time or not!
I now can imagine how Ron Paul feels when he is the lone or minority voter in Congress. This time though, I am standing next to him.
Some more important info
This just posted :
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/06/still-winning-...
In West Virginia, the campaign says, Mr. Paul won three delegates. But the chief executive of the West Virginia Republican Presidential Convention, Bob Fish, said that his state had a “winner-take-all” format and that Mike Huckabee of Arkansas “won the 18 delegates.” Mr. Fish noted that delegates were not “legally bound” to support Mr. Huckabee.
Did you get that? Mr. Fish noted that the delegates were not legally bound to support Huckabee. :)
Puppets come and puppets go but the world's stage is getting cluttered.
What is your proof?
Why do you say 50% of McCain delegates are RP delegates. Do you have any thing to prove that? Third party is the way the revolution should go even if RP is not going to be elected. There are other ways to win. Locals, governors, congress and senate. The republican party have rejected RP. There is no need to continue with them.
