Why Ron Paul Will Win!

     When a Candidate is running for the Presidency of the United States, even if they win the popular vote in the state primaries or caucuses, they do not automatically get the delegates as projected on the news.  These delegates have to be voted on first in the county, then state conventions.

     Did you know that the delegates can actually vote to unbind their delegates that are bound by state rules and change their vote to another candidate of their choice? Did you know that delegates can actually overturn the previous vote? Did you know the delegates have control of the entire process?

Ron Paul Can Win The Republican Nomination Just Like Abraham Lincoln


Posted March 14th, 2008 by Jdayh


     The delegates are bound to McCain only for the first few rounds of voting at the convention. You see, the national convention is, in and of itself, an actual election. Only this time is the only election the really matters in determining who the party’s nominee will be. Some states send “bound” delegates to the convention who must vote for the candidate who garnered the popular vote win. Those delegates must vote for that person whether or not they support him or her. Each state has different rules, but the delegates are not bound forever. If, for example, McCain fails to get 1191 of the delegates to vote for him in the first election round at the convention, some of the delegates (depending on what state you’re from) are “released” and then can vote for whomever they want in round two… some are still bound and are not released until round 2 or three. I believe that after round three, however, that ALL delegates from ALL states are “released” and can vote for the candidate of their choice and it doesn’t even have to be a candidate who is even running!!


     This is exactly how Abraham Lincoln was nominated. He went into the convention with virtually no delegates bound to him. The front runner at the time was a divisive figure (much like McCain is today) and was unable to garner the requisite number of delegate votes in round one. As delegates started to be released after each round, Lincoln garnered more and more votes until finally, after the 5th or 6th round, Lincoln received the requisite number of delegate votes and became the party’s nominee.


     Bottom line… you’re state’s primary election results mean next to nothing in the overall nomination process.

Read these posts from actual Ron Paul Delegates:

We only need the majority
On March 9th, 2008 plunix says:

    We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.

For clarification of that point read the rules for the Republican national convention:

    (b) 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 each of five (5) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination.
    (c) The total time of the nominating speech and seconding speeches for any candidate for nomination for President of the United States or Vice President of the United States shall not exceed fifteen (15) minutes.

One delegation nominates and 4 others second the nomination.

Storey County's Overwhelmingly for Ron Paul!!!
Posted March 16th, 2008 by ausscyn

We had county conventions in Nevada today. In my little county, Storey, we were able to elect 9 delegates to the state convention. At least 7 are SOLID Ron Paul. Not sure about the other two. It was hard getting our resolutions on the planks as we didn't want to "show our hand" before we were elected delegates, so we let all the same old stuff go on the planks rather than no war, no IRS, no federal reserve, no fiat money, etc. but it was worth it in the end to get so many delegates to the state. We were definitely stealth. I'm still waiting to hear how Washoe county (Reno) did, but it should be better than Clark (Las Vegas) that had super results. Am so excited to be a state delegate along w/my husband.
GO, GO, GO RON PAUL!!!!!!!!
I so hope we can take this in delegates & pull off a coup.

More "Show Me State" News!!
On March 15th, 2008 Mohusk says:

I was at the Jackson County, MO Caucus today (Kansas City - second largest metro area). We got a full slate (180) of Ron Paul Republican Delegates elected to both the District and State Conventions! We also passed 3 Resolutions: 1)No REAL ID (awesome!) 2) NO Animal Registration ID (city-folk will have to ask ranchers about this one) 3) We resolved to change the state GOP rule, not law, that binds National Delegates from Missouri to McCain. We also amended the State GOP Platform with 14 changes to include: getting rid of Dept. of Education control of Missouri schools, resisting the NAU and SPP, and a statement that the Republican Party believes the US can only go to war with a Declaration from Congress. Now, these are only county amendments put forward to the State Convention, but hey, it's a baby step!

We had around a 65-70% majority of members at the caucus. Many of the "old guard" left in disgust after they realized we were in control, even though we didn't even try to unseat the Chair of twenty some years as we were trying to make friends with whomever we could.

Missouri is looking pretty good so far.
