The good news is that Ron Paul is successfully defending his congressional seat in the Texas 14th District, 68% to 32%. The Daily Paul projects Ron Paul as the winner.
See the results here:

In other news, McCain sweeps today's GOP primaries, Huckabee concedes.
Now there are two, but don't count on the MSM letting you know that.

I wonder what they're afraid
I wonder what they're afraid of to vote for him as President?
Let's see - 37,220 voted for him for Congressman
only 6,697 voted for him for President.
He got 12%, probably the highest in any open primary in the country.
What were the other 30,523 scared of, since everyone knew that McCain won anyway?
That Bush would drop a nucular on them if they gave 3 delegates to Ron Paul?
--------------------
Have you thanked Milton Friedman lately?
That is GREAT NEWS!
Now with that monkey off our backs we can again, re-focus our efforts on making sense out of the spew we are told AND get this wonderful, patriotic man into the office he sought in the first place! Hooray!! :)
Speaking of spew...how is it that these same district 14 voters do not appear to have cast their presidential vote for RP?? Am I daft or simply in error?
From where I am sitting it certainly looks as though the electronic voting machines were programatically set to certain percentages for certain cantidates and that the *geniuses* in charge of this fraudulent effort *forgot* to alter the congressional district numbers to a similar percentage. I have three family members in district 14, all them voted for RP twice yesterday. It is hard for me to imagine the rest of the district didn't do the same. Smells funky...
Congrats!!!
Bravo Dr. Ron Paul!
where's Peden's concession speech?
http://galvestondailynews...
"Phone messages left on Peden’s cell phone, at his campaign office and with his campaign manager were not returned."
What a classless jerk this Peden guy is.
Donate to Ron Paul today!
Since it seems unlikely that Ron Paul will get the
GOP nomination I hope that he is thinking of the next step. Perhaps an organization to help individuals wanting to follow his steps into politics or one devoted to preserving the Constitution and our American heritage. Regardless, I would like to see Dr. Paul's influence and ideas play a major part in reshaping the future political arena. With enough influence we just may have that third party candidate one day and/or reform the Republican Party. I wish now that Dr Paul had run third party. I think he would have had a better chance. At least that party would have supported him instead of shutting him out. But then, hindsight is always 20/20. I'll be writing in Dr. Paul's name and pray that everyone here does too. We can still make a difference.
Heh...
Understatement of the year... "unlikely"... don't censor yourself, just state the facts Liberty08. LMAO.
Ron has sown the seeds for the next iteration of the GOP, and that's 1000x better than no effect whatsoever coming off this campaign. I'm positive about that.
Look at you...Picking up the Neo-Con rhetoric...
In Christ,

The facts speak for themselves
Yesterday's Money Bomb didn't happen. Let's at least recognize that and deal with it. Dr. Paul can't continue to campaign unless a great deal of money comes in very soon. We should be focusing on that.
I fell asleep with CNN on
and could tell throughout the evening as I woke repeatedly that Ron Paul must have prevailed in his contest. How did I know you ask? Not one mention of his congressional race. If he had lost you can bet they would have been trumpeting the news. Can you imagine if McCain, Clinton or Obama were up for reelection how much coverage there would have been?
So now get your arse up to Pennsylvania
Lets see Dr. Paul come up to the Keystone State for 2 weeks - make a stand here since the Alamo has been run over & the MSM has annointed the presumptive nominee McCain - don't let us hang in the wind - the volunteers here need to hear something from HQ -

Well It's Certainly NOT Bad News -- It's Not Great News Either
Vote RON PAUL 2008
____________
I don't personally see anything as good when the entire process that surrounds that tiny island of good -- is bad. Meaning, winning in one District is certainly good (one positive voice as it has been -- and I want only the best for RON PAUL as he does for us) but there are 435 districts (in total) if I'm not mistaken. A majority win (in total) is what I would see as good news. But that's my take on matters. Majority rules, isn't that how the game is played?
The revolution isn't just about this election.
Through the convention process and getting involved locally in the GOP. Running for local offices in 2 years we can get more Ron Paul Republicans in the congress. We hatched a plan
for 2 years to get a Ron Paul republican in District 22 (next to 14) in 2010.
After November the Republican party will be ripe for new faces to be involved. It is these people who decide who the candidates for congress and local offices are.
68% is a LANDSLIDE..... IT is IN YOUR FACE VICTORY!
It is going to take a lot of energy not to break out laughing and doing a victory dance next time I see someone who was a known Peden Supporter.
But, now is time for making friends and building a co-alition and finding common ground.
Thanks For Sharing Your Enthusiasm
Vote RON PAUL 2008

I think that it might be a good
time for Mr. Peden to lose his "day job".
let the children
Fortune Favors the Bold
vote with their magic boxes and believe what the magic box at home tells them. This will only make our job easier. Now that McCain has "clinched" the nomination, it will be easier for me get elected as a delegate, since the process is already over. :)
I thought
I thought Jersey had chosen all its delegates.
Nope. NJ has two primaries
Nope. NJ has two primaries this time around. One on Super Tuesday, and then we have another for House/Senate/Etc. primaries. Delegates are included on the second primary ballot.
Problem is, they are bound for at least one vote to McCain. So if he wins the nomination on the first vote, it won't matter who is elected as a delegate.
NJ is the most restrictive (sort of)
NJ is bound to 3 votes for McCain... by pledge not law. Breaking your oath is punishable by possibly being forbidden from being a delegate ever again. (Just the facts)
Assuming the delegates show up for the first vote
I imagine some of the delegates are in the bathroom when the vote is called.

Since when do you believe
Since when do you believe what you seen on tv? Shouldn't watch it any way lol. If we do not watch them it makes them irelevant.
Rejoice! (an update)
w/ 88.10% reporting
RP - 70.03 %
the loser - 29.96 (the guy who supported/praised RP one year ago)
time to celebrate!
Awesome!!!
70.16% of the votes with 79.93% of precincts reporting.
Go Dr. Paul! : )

How did McCain win in Ron
How did McCain win in Ron Paul's district in Texas? Obviously, all the people voting there were also the people who gave Ron Paul his overwhelming victory against Peden. Shouldn't he have also had the same victory over McCain there?
They want him for their own..
Selfish b*st*ds. LOL!!!

WHY??????
Why does the ronpaul2008.com site say "Now There Are Two." Why?? I thought McCain won his final delegates today to get the nominee without a brokered convention?
Huckabee dropped out
And when the MSM say so-and-so got so many delegates, that doesn't mean actual delegates. They make it sound like actual delegates, but they're just making a prediction based on the popular vote. Not all the delegate counts are in. How can they be? The PRECINCT conventions were held last night in those particular states. We have yet, at later dates, to see what the senatorial district, county, state, and national delegates pan out to be. I went to my precinct convention last night. I was nominated the precinct convention chairman, since no one else there did this before (at least on the Rep. side; there were tons of Democrats at my precinct's convention). 8 of us showed up for the Rep. side. Guess what? 7 of those 8 were RP people, the 8th voted for Huckabee. I'm guessing that's probably what happened in a lot of precincts, the RP people being the most active, the McCain people probably figuring why go to the conventions, he's got the nomination secure.
So there's definitely a disconnect between the perceived reality and the real reality on the ground. The media calls in the "winner" way too early in these things. That's how our elections are rigged in this country, ladies and gentlemen. Not to mention the Diebold machines, etc. etc. So for all we know, Dr. Paul could have 1000 actual delegates, but no one in the country could ever know about it, and based on media creating perceived votes, perceived delegate counts, and so on, we could be inaugurating someone in 2009 who didn't get truly elected by the people! Yes, I really suspect that that is happening, and has happened for some time. We have a media that has no difference between it and the National Enquirer. LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES! Makes me so freaking mad! Wish there was some way for us folks with hardly any money to broadcast the truth, like in "The Running Man".
Most of the...
delegates are 'uncommited' meaning they really don't know WHO'S delegates they are... they're just blowing hot air.

The lesser of two evils is still evil!
I see manystom erase all you want the truth dont change
because you are the big bad gatekeeper what happened to my question i asked you???why did you kick me off of the sight under blowbackinevitable?? please stop the madness and man up u r a man right? now you see me
Ron Paul may not have won
Ron Paul may not have won the popular vote but from reading ronpaulforums.com and going to my precinct convention 4 out of the 5 delegates going to the county convention are Ron Paul delegates! :)
Only problem is that other elected officials already get to go to the state convention and for any Ron Paul delegates to go to the state convention they have to plead their case with a nomination committee at the county level. So yeah.. Good luck!
However, it's going to be awesome to go to the county convention with 80% Ron Paul supporters!! hahahahahah!!
There Should Always Be a Ron Paul Supporter in "Uniform"
One Ron Paul supporter should be at conventions in uniform: RP Shirt, hat, buttons. Otherwise, the opposition won't know who to suspect and potential allies won't know who to talk to.
IMissLiberty
Yeah,
Our county didn't do so great for Dr. Paul, a lot of us didn't get the nominations. I'm still hoping to get nominated from my commisioners district though, keep your fingers crossed for me! Love hearing about the conventions where Paul supporters out number the others though, that's soo great!
------------------------------------
The lesser of two evils is still evil!
And now to play the waiting game...
Our only chance of winning now is if McCain is struck dead by a heart attack sometime prior to the convention, which--given his temperament--means we still have about a 50% chance of winning!
Congrats to Ron Paul !
He's baaaaaaaack :-) I love it. Now he can focus on the campaign more. I think we'll be hearing a lot more from Dr. Paul. He is a real treasure for America.

People worldwide support Dr. Paul too :-)

Good news indeed
Don't have much to say about the rest...but this is great news and Im glad i could play a small part (donating a 'lil bit) from so far away. Looking forward to the Congressional speeches and hearings sure to come regardless of what happens with the whole McCain -annointed- god thing going on right now.
This is especially pleasing as a rebuke to the Redstate blogs and other establishment type so-called 'republican' blogs /people who had fundraisers to help the congressional opposition. They failed miserably. We prevailed. And that makes me happy.
Plus, this is one investment that I know will pay off. Repeatedly. For all of us.
5-7% of the GOP Have brains...
which correlates with the percentage of the vote that Ron Paul is getting in the Primaries...It is interesting that he has CRUSHED his opponent by more than 2-1,though the media kept telling us he was in "trouble"....
Madman McCain was anoited with the Nomination today!
See the whole story...

Once the congressional seat is nailed down. IF that HAD been lost, just as Ron said, our opponents would say that all of Ron's ideas and message had been rejected completely.

Wasn't this a primary
Wasn't this a primary victory - does he not still have to run in November again?
The dems don't have anyone
The dems don't have anyone running against him this fall. They sometimes know when not to waste money ;)
