SGP, WHAT WOULD BE MCCAIN'S TOTAL NUMBER OF "BOUND".....
delegates if he wins every "bound" delegate left in the remaining primaries / caucuses? Would it give him the minimum 1191? If so, would he then have the nomination locked up? If not, with the significant number of delegates it appears we will have at the national convention, even if he gets the minimum1192, would we be able to potentially change the rules / procedures for the convention to possibly derail his (McLame) nomination? NOTE: I recall approximately a week ago, McCain needed like 72% of the remaining "bound" delegates to secure the nomination? From what I've gathered from your posts, you don't believe McCain can secure the nomination. Do you mean suggestively or literally from a mathematical standpoint? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm struggling with this 1192 bound and his (McCain's) securing the nomination within the remaining primaries / caucuses time frame.

Sorry to dissapoint, but
Sorry to dissapoint, but having McCain run against the Dems is rxactly what the establishment wants. For sure he'll lose. But better have a CFR'er, than none to control. The none was Ron Paul. He is the only standing candidate with CFR relations. See why they chose the McCain. He cannot win against either Clinton or Obama. Dr. Paul would have made mashed potatoes out of them, but he is not under their control.

Right Now McCain has only
Right Now McCain has only 973 BOUND delegates. So he needs almost all 300 or so that are left to completely secure it.
However, 3 delegates from each state are party bosses, (State Chair, State commiteeman/commiteewoman) most of which will probably vote McCain just because "We need to be unified to beat the Democrats.)
So there's another 150.
It also depends on what percentage of Romney/Huccabee delegates vote McCain vs Paul. It's hard to say.

at the state conventions you can actually pass a resolution

unbinding the delegates. So, yeah. It really is like the matrix. :)

Simple math says the odds
Simple math says the odds are against Mccain getting the remaining bound delegates.
However even if he does some how get the reamining delegates we can change the rules at the state and even the national convention to unbind all the delegates.
The reason you don't hear about the delegate process is because if the average person knew how easy it was to change things it would be a severe threat to the status quo thus taking away thier power.
They can not have too many people involved in politics because there are a hell of a lot more of us then there are of them.

exactly!!
i live in a very small town where, for years, the "powers that be" relied on the fact that the great majority of voters new very little about "the process" to get elected...it is the very same on a very large scale here..."they" don't want you to know about "the process"...thank you SGP for enlightening us...please keep up the great work!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...

How is this so, with
Huck out and Romney out, and only McCain and Paul in, and so many people think Paul is out of the race? I am not being negative, just wondering how the odds are against McCain getting the remaining bound delegates? Believe me, I am holding on to all hope that we can win.
First off if this is true, thank you
You've been fighting to keep the delegate process bumped for a long time. I don't know why Nystrom doesn't put it on the front page, unless he too has reservations about your knowledge.
I am encouraged by the amount of articles detailing how delegates are finding each other at conventions. I guess we'll have to have faith and keep on working blindly unless someone from the campaign informs us otherwise.

Yes Clarification
With all the wonderful post describing how Ron Paul delegates have been secured for the convention coming in daily I still see occassional post like the one less than half an hour ago that the Ron Paul campaign for president is over. The truth is ?
The people that say it is
The people that say it is over is either ignorant of the process or a NON Ron Paul supporter trying to divide us or both. Either way they are wrong

SGP what do you say to those people
who say its political suicide for Ron Paul to win in convention with only 5 to 10% of popular vote in Primary? They said 90% of Republicans will not put up with such outcome?
What i say is there is no
What i say is there is no way Mcaain can win against the democrats that are both now against the war considering Mccain wants us un Iraq for 1000 years or more.
How can any republican possibly think they can win when over 70% of America is against the war.
Do you actually believe that Mccain won NH a pro peace state and over 80% of them against the war? Do you believe the exit polls that stated that people that were against the war voted for Mccain? Do you really thing that when the media stated that people in NH said they thought Mccain was against the war and that is why they voted for him that was the truth? Mccains entire platform has been from day 1 that i will continue the war in Iraq to defeat the terrorists. There is no way in HELL that people didn't know Mccain WAS NOT AGAINST THE WAR!

My brain short-circuits
It's not only McCain. Clinton and Obama will also expand the war. People just don't see it even though it seems obvious to me. It's like nothing makes sense. 70% are against the war but only 10% are for the only anti-war candidate? My fuses are smokin'.
One of these war mongers is (probably) going to be elected and the draft will follow. My kids and their friends will be drafted. The awful thought has crossed my mind as I look at them "Which ones will die?"
My "Don't blame me I voted for Ron Paul" bumper sticker will be little consolation on the way home from those funerals.
McCain, Clinton and Obama
What a wake up call it would be if every car had that "don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul" bumper sticker on the back!
MrTom
Tell them about how Abe Lincoln won the Presidency....
He only had 23 or so delegates going in to the national convention..no one thought he would win...
His supporters were savvy though and they did a "coup" of sorts that got him elected....They voted 3 of more times until he won his parties nomination..
I will look for the article and post it soon ...
thank you for asking this...
I keep wondering the same thing. Will the neocons will be bursting gaskets left and right?
I think we all know that
I think we all know that 5-10% figure is totally bogus and the elections were rigged. The will of the people was not reflected in the popular votes.

Well, we have to ensure
ALL the anti-war delegates that voted for McCain vote for Dr. Paul and all the real fiscal and social conservatives vote for Dr. Paul as well. Even for some of those who are pro-war, this issue is not so important tot hem, I think. They more look for local issues, if they like someone and someone whose' name they are familiar with. Dr. Paul has at least 8 % "hard core" supporters, and I doubt the other candidates have so many hard core supporters, though they have some. The issue is most expect - via the media - that McCain will be the nominee, so we need something to overcome this, an external event may happen to help us with it or McCain could make a big costly mistake. It is very important that we fare VERY WELL with the 9 or so remaining primaries/caucuses. What plays in our favor is that Paul fared much better in caucuses than with primaries, so in
the caucus type atmosphere of the RNC people can be convinced, but this time it is 51! plus, not 25, 40% etc. A very good showing with the remaining primaries could give Dr. Paul a lot of momentum up to the convention. Everybody should work on the delegate before the convention, some people will take a lot of time to convince, some may be easier. It will in any case be extremely difficult still, but it is still possible. We have to ensure that McCain does NOT get the amount with the first ballot. Barry Goldwater jr should also play a prominent role at the convention, also Gary Johnson etc., as Dr. Paul would need all the support from established Republicans.
