Total 1,094 delegates remaining in up-coming elections

McCain has 703 right now according to FOX's website.

He needs 488 delegates between now and June 3rd or he will not win the nomination.

Romney voters will be split amongst Huckabee and Paul supporters. They are not going to vote for McCain.

It is statistically impossible for McCain to win the nomination until March 4th at the absolute earliest, and that's assuming he wins every state contest which he won't.

Come convention time, McCain will be a lame duck because he will not have enough delegates to be crowned the GOP nominee. He will lose the first ballot. A second ballot frees the delegates. They are no longer bound to any candidate. Romney and Huckabee conservatives are not going to vote for the pro-choice liberal, John McCAIN.

John McCain will not win 45% of the remaining delegates to win.

It may be as close as 40% McCain 35% Huckabee and 25% Paul but the bottom line is he will not win on a first ballot.

Kansas 2nd District and Betrayal

Submitted by Beowulf on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 15:14.

Just returned for the 2nd District Caucus. Big turnout but I think it was mostly for the Huckster. Nice RP showing but there were not enough of us. The ballots are not counted yet but I am sure Ron did not win.

Just heard from my family in the 1st District in Mitchell County, Kansas. The RP chairman for Mitchell county didn't even bother to show up to vote. Can you believe that?

One of my nieces registered as Independent because she was told by her "friends" that she would be able to vote........even after I told her 10 times that she had to be registered as Republican. My other Niece lied and told me she registered but did not so she did not get to vote either but showed up at the Caucus. How messed up is that?

My Sister spoke at the Caucus in the 1st District for Ron and got a rousing ovation and my Mom voted for him. My best friend switched from Democrate to Republican to vote for him.

I am ashamed of the rest of my family. I hope they enjoy their chains and their future. What else can you do when you are betrayed by your own family?

I'm done trying to educate people. Let them get what they deserve. When I can even get my family to vote we are finished. The Constitution and Freedom was a grand experiment. May it Rest In Peace.

AS FOR ME......................I'M GOING TO GET STINKING DRUNK AND TELL THE WORLD WHAT I THINK OF THEM! I am the last free man.

Please, Please, Please

Ron can win his home state of Texas, maybe that's why he's going back now. Kill two birds with one campaign stone.
