Ahhhh, those wacky Ron Paul supporters. Part 76

Want a good laugh? read this from the Ron Paul Forums. A new Declaration of Indepdence. Notice the reliance on big words to make himself sound like an adult.

This one is pretty damn funny. Apparently, to this guy, once candidates drop out, every previous state's results should reflect only the candidates left. Hence, if Ron Paul came in second in a state, beind a candidate that dropped out, he should now get all the delegates as if he had won.

Of course, there is a MAJOR flaw in this plan. That is that if that was how it worked for all states, then McCain would be the winner in all but 2-3 states. (The 2-3 states that no one campaigned in except Ron Paul...yet he still could only manage 2nd place.) It's give him close to 1800 delegates by now.

* Ron Paul: 5.29 = 5
* Governor Mike Huckabee: 5.29 = 5

Reference: Rule 21: Presidential Preference Caucus Rules

Tuesday 5 February 2008: All 26 delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's North Dakota Republican Party Caucuses.

* If one candidate receives more than 2/3 of the statewide vote, that candidate receives all 26 delegates. Otherwise, delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 15% or more of the vote.

Three party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the North Dakota's Republican Party, will attend the convention as uncommitted delegates by virtue of their position.

Delegates are bound for the first ballot at the Republican National Convention.

Friday 28 March - Sunday 30 March 2008: The North Dakota State Republican Convention convenes. The State Convention elects delegates from North Dakota to the Republican National Convention according to the results of the caucuses.


With the state convention this weekened can we expect the 26 delegates be split evenly between RP and MC?

Ahhhh, those wacky Ron Paul supporters. Part 74

So, all Ron Paul had to do was to go on one radio show and he would have gotten 5 times as many votes! He must be an idiot then.

Don't be too harsh on this poster though. He's only 15.

The Greatest Mistake the Campaign Made
I believe is that, even though radio talk show host Michael Savage had an open invitation for all GOP contenders to go on air with him, Ron Paul didn't. If Ron Paul would have went on the night before the Iowa caucuses, he could have won. That broadcast has has apx. 10 million listeners on a weekly basis. considering that 40K votes won the Iowa Caucuses, reaching out to a mere 31K more voters would have led to a victory, albeit narrow, over Huckabee. Not to mention the fact that if we were able to convince a quarter of his audience, just that night, We would have at least 2.5M nation wide voters, then incorporate Iowa momentum, and you got yourself a nominee in waiting. His audience already believes the Iraq war to be a strategic error, the gold standard should be applied, and many other issues, you need only make that last leap and they are entirely in that boat. I think a half an hour of Ron Paul on Michael Savage at a strategic time might have been a guarantee of nomination.
