Ron Paul delegate estimates

Ron Paul delegate estimates

I am trying to keep up where Ron Paul has won. States he either won or is nearly certain to win (8): Alaska, Washington state, Minnesota, Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Maine.

States he probably won or will win (4): Colorado, Texas, Nevada, West Virginia

States where it seems he has a great chance to win (6): South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, California, New Hampshire, Rhode Island

States where he won a decent numbers of delegates but did not win (3): Missouri, Wyoming, North Dakota

Wild card states (8): Wisconsin, Arkansas, Montana, Virginia, Vermont, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Kentucky

Not sure (21): the rest

Romney voters think he won a long time ago (the media told them so), so they stopped voting.

:lmao

UPDATE - NEW ESTIMATES HERE:

Ron Paul is projected to win the most delegates in the following states (25); Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Oklahoma, Alaska, and Vermont.

Paul has already won (9); Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Minnesota, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Maine.

This is enough delegates for Ron Paul to secure the GOP nomination.

:wow

[Jacob1983]

Romney and Obama nut huggers are just pissed that crazy Ron Paul hasn't pussied out and quit like Santorum and Newt.

[Slutter McGee]

It is technically possible but still extremely unlikely. Caucus states alone do not make a majority of the delegates, and delegates to the primary states are bound. With Newt and Fuck-Wad out of the race the chances of a brokered convention are ridiculously small.

Even with a brokered convention there is almost no way he has enough

Ron's best chance was to hope Newt and Fuck-Head stayed in. Brokered convention far more likely. He could pledge his delegates to Romney for a ridiculous increase in power for the libertarian wing of the party.

Sincerely,

Whatever numbers are reported by Paulbots, the actual delegate votes at the convention will likely be much lower.

In states like Nevada, delegates are bound to the results of the election.

Nevada delegates are bound by the state’s results on the first convention ballot, so Romney will still get their support. Paul’s Nevada supporters are not challenging that rule, for fear of losing their convention seats altogether. Delegates who abstain will be replaced with alternates.

Maybe they can hope for a brokered convention. :lol

Anyway, the RNC has the final say in these matters -- so there's nothing stopping them from putting a boot firmly in the ass of a state like Iowa if too many of its unbound delegates vote for Paul. Iowa's Paulbots would have to decide whether their messiah is worth sacrificing their state's position on the calendar and therefore its political relevance forever.

Ron Paul power takes over GOP

After years of quiet, relentless organizing, followers of libertarian-leaning GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul have exploded inside the Minnesota Republican Party, becoming its most potent army. "This is one of the greatest states that I have witnessed, where I have seen the transition, where the enthusiasm's there," the grinning Texas congressman told hundreds of exuberant activists Saturday at the state party's convention in St. Cloud, where he won 12 of 13 open delegate spots to the GOP national convention in Tampa, Fla., in August. The 13th went to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann -- and only after a Paul supporter dropped out to let her have that spot. In Minnesota, more than almost any other state, Paul forces have completed a historic party takeover.

What Does Ron Paul Want? Hint: It's Not About The 2012 GOP Nomination

Everyone seemed to miss the obvious: It is all about the future of the Republican Party.

Unless lightning strikes — and it won't — Romney will easily win the Republican nomination in Tampa on the first ballot. But many of those delegates in the hall will be Paul supporters, even if they are bound by party law to vote for Romney.

That's what is happening with the party conventions right now. It's not about 2012. It's about the future. And these "champions of liberty" may find themselves with a far bigger role than they do today.

Gal's an idiot.

Paul's spokesman came out more than a week ago and said that he was out of cash and was no longer going to actively campaign. He said that they had conceded the campaign and hoped to influence the GOP's platform.

His spokesman.

Big change doesn't happen in an instant. We're planting the seeds. They will hear us at the convention. We're electing people who follow Paul's philosophy into local and state office. Over the years, Libertarians will come into Congress and start putting this country back in order. Big picture gives me hope.
