This doesn't make any sense. It has him taking (by far) the most delegates in Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, and Maine, even though he hasn't won the vote in any state. How could that be?

Yes the straw poll vote has nothing to do with how the Delegates vote in those states.

Because the delegates in those states are unbound. Primary states are usually bound meaning the number of delegates has to go to that person. Unbound delegates can vote whoever they want.

Yes, but the assumption seems to be that almost all of the unbound delegates will be voting for Ron Paul, regardless of the popular vote. What is that based on?

Based from Jesse Benton who has said on numerous occasions that Ron Paul Supporters occupy 75% of the delegate seats. Now whether he is correct or not will be seen later.

We will have to wait until each state has their convention to decide who's delegates will be sent to the national convention.

Completely 100 percent irrelevant. Come on guys. Do any of you really think that the Rush Limbaugh , Sarah Palin , war monger Israel boot licking cocksuckers ,not to mention the party insiders will ever let Ron Paul get the Republican nomination ? ? ? ? Not going to happen.

Ron Paul for Potus is false hope. Ron Paul is the canary in the coal mine, nothing more. The American electorate is a complete and total lost cause.

The ship is going down , nothing to do for it but get your lifeboat in order.

Hate to be so f*cking negative about it, but it is what it is.

Just bought another 400 rounds of 40 caliber today, to go with my new tactical stock for the high point. Now thats something to believe in.
