The Real Delegate Count - it's not over

RP pulls 10-20% support among Repubs just like some left wing fringe nut can attract 10-20% support from the Dem party.

I can just see your post after Romney accepts the nomination at the convention It will be something like "Now not so fast. Don't believe the media. If a meteorite should hit Romney or investigative work uncover multiple wives, he might not be the nominee!!!!"

Now you are being ridiculous. It isn't true that Romney has the delegates that the media is putting out. It's just a fact, CC1. Ron Paul is winning the delegates and has won the majority of delegates in 11 states. He even stopped Mitt from sweeping his own state. It's not about the popular vote, it's about the delegates.

Ron Paul Could Still Win Enough Delegates To Deny Mitt Romney The Republican Nomination
May 7, 2012

Despite what you may have heard from the mainstream media, Mitt Romney does not have the Republican nomination locked up. In fact, he is rapidly losing delegates that almost everyone assumed that he already had in the bag. To understand why this is happening, you have to understand the delegate selection process. Each state has different rules for selecting delegates to the Republican national convention, and in many states the “voting” done by the public does not determine the allocation of delegates to particular candidates at all. And the truth is that delegates are the only thing that really matters in this race. In state after state, the Ron Paul campaign is focusing on the delegate selection process with laser-like precision, and it is paying off big time. At this point, there is still a legitimate chance that Ron Paul will be able to win enough delegates to deny Mitt Romney the nomination on the first ballot at the Republican national convention in Tampa. If Romney does not have the 1,144 delegates that he needs on the first ballot, then it becomes a brokered convention and anything becomes possible at that point.

Sadly, most Americans have no idea how this process really works.

Video included. I watched the videos this morning, but found out more of what happened.

Ron Paul wins 62% at Louisiana GOP Convention as his Delegates are Arrested
June 4, 2012

The convention began peacefully with a prayer and invocation. Roger Villere, Chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party, then attempted to recognize the former Chair of the Convention’s Rules Committee who had been ousted from his position last night. When Alex Helwig, the newly elected Rules Committee chair, rose to address the delegation, Mr. Villere ordered him removed from the floor. Video footage shows Shreveport police dragging Mr. Helwig out of the room despite his protests that he was a duly elected delegate.

Then the GOP Establishment panicked and resorted to violence.

All Ron Paul proves is that just as the Democrat party has its fringe element so do the Republicans. The day Ron Paul becomes a serious contender in the Republican party will be the day the party will have left me and I have been a registered member since before I could vote (since 1976 when I was 17 years old).

The tin foil hat brigade organize to take over conventions or caucuses to try and make it appear they have more general support than they do. This is very transparent.

Whether you will acknowledge it or not Romney has the nomination.

All a brokered convention would have done is insure Obama would win by a large margin as Repubs were just focusing on bashing each other when all were still in the race and not focusing on Obama.

Heh. A political "Hunger Games"? Eh?

I've been hearing on internet radio that Rand Paul is a serious consideration for Romney's VP. Anybody else hear that?

I would be willing to bet you the farm, the ranch, the homestead, the car, the truck and anything else that Rand has absoutely zero chance of being the VP nominee.

UPDATE on delegate count:

Romney - 755
Paul - 229
Santorum - 166
Newt - 71

Paul doesn't need to get 1,144, he just needs to keep Romney from getting his.

Now the RNC is blocking Paul's people from organizing their festival a few days before the Convention. They are very afraid. Love it!

"We do have the request," said James Davis. "We have an extraordinary amount for requests for the venues we do have. We're going through and making assignments and no one has turned down any assignment yet." (I bet! )
