Ron Paul and How Delegates Work. Most Don't Get It
Ron Paul and How Delegates Work. Most Don't Get It
This is not my piece. This is from a fellow Ron Paul Supporter who is also a Ron Paul Delegate.
-------------------------------------------------------
HOW RON PAUL WINS!
And how the main stream media (MSM) is confused.
Do some research!!!!
When McCain reaches 1191 as declared by the MSM, that will really not be the case. He is not guaranteed all of those delegates.
HE MUST WIN THE 1191 DELEGATES AT THE CONVENTION!!!!
DID YOU GET THAT???
HE DOES NOT WIN THE DELEGATES DURING THE PRIMARIES!!!
Bound or pledged delegates are committed to the winner of the primary to vote for that candidate in the first round.
Many states have yet to pick delegates. Of those that have, RP has very high delegate counts even though he hasn't won a single primary. How? Well people just simply apply. More of RP supporters are willing to become delegates than McCain supporters.
The primaries and caucuses are nothing more than window dressing. Delegates are not chosen the day of the primary/caucus.
The only thing the primaries/caucuses do is commit the BOUND/PLEDGED delegates to the winner either by winner take all or proportioned out.
At the convention, there will be bound/pledged and unbound/unpledged delegates. NOT ALL DELEGATES FOR EACH STATE ARE BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The unbound/unpledged can vote for anyone!!!!!
At the convention, if McInsane does not get 51% of the delegate vote on the first round, then they vote again. In the next round, delegates can vote for whomever they want.
MEANING?
All the Ron Paul delegates that have snatched up every available delegate seat can boot McCain right out of the convention on ROUND #2!!!
Read and learn!!!!! Spread the word to everyone you can in EVERY STATE or US PROVINCE that has yet to have an election to get delegates!
According to the sight below, here are the bound and unbound totals as of today. McCain has 796 bound and 18 unbound delegates.
The Green Papers
Now lets do some math:
McCain needs 395 bound delegates to reach 1191
Of the remaining states:
Texas - 137 bound and 3 unbound
Ohio - 88 UNBOUND
South Dakota - 24 bound and 3 unbound
Wisconsin - 37 bound and 3 unbound
Vermont - 17 bound
Idaho - 26 bound and 6 unbound
Hawaii - 20 bound
Pennsylvania - 74 UNBOUND
Oregon - 27 bound and 3 unbound
Puerto Rico - 20 bound and 3 unbound
North Carolina - 69 bound
Indianna - 27 bound and 30 UNBOUND
Kentucky - 45 bound
Mississippi - 36 bound and 3 unbound
RI - 17 bound and 3 unbound
Nebraska - 30 bound and 3 unbound
New Mexico - 29 bound and 3 unbound
There are 561 bound delegates left of which Mr. McCain must win 71% of to reach 1191.....now when was the last time he won with 71% of the vote?
Huckabee will probably win Nebraska, Kentucky, Miss, and SD. If this happens, then McCain would have to win just about every remaining delegate, and that is not likely to happen.
Basically, McCain would almost have to run the board of the ALL other states to win. NOT LIKELY!!!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Vermont is the only winner take all state remaining, so even if McCain wins a state, he does not get all of the bound delegates.
THE MSM IS LUMPING BOTH BOUND AND UNBOUND IN THEIR TOTALS.......VERY MISLEADING.
So get your heads out of the MSM garbage!!!
MARCH ON TROOPS!!!!
