Check your facts. You are sorely wrong.

How so! McCain has 720 delegates and after Super Tuesday all Ron Paul has is 14 delegates. How is that sorry wrong. Note: I like RP, he was my 3rd pick!

Thats not an official Delegate count.

He came in second.. in Maine, Montana, Nevada and possibly won Louisiana caucus.

His campaign is claiming 42 plus delegates.

42 delegates

Also counting delegates before the State Conventions is a bit misleading because its only at State Conventions that delegates are given out. No State Conventions have happened yet..

Its a very complicated process and Republican Primaries are not based on Popular vote.

MN and MT are winner take all states, he gets no delegates for coming in 2nd. NV he actually tied McCain for 4 delegates.

The Ron Paul campaign can claim what it wants, but everywhere else they have him at 14-16 range. Of course RP campaign will over estimate it. Besides 42 delegates is pretty poor also and still makes him out of it! **** even Romney conceded victory to McCain with 278 delegates!

Also how can he claim victory in LS, when LS caucus is tomorrow? :wacko:

I find the Republicans a tough group to deal with when it comes to election. I tried to get my registration changed and they are wasting time at the local level. I missed the re puke caucus last night in KS. Ron Paul is the only real constitutional one who would throw off the way the president has total control already. That I call change. And then his other ideas are still a better way to fully reach change in the rest of the mess we find ourselfs. Can't make change with the machine, as I see it.
Beat the facts are just so different. Reality is what it is.

Never said MN. I said Maine.. which is a ME. Minnesota (MN) is not a Winner take all. The Minnesota primary is a non-binding straw poll. Its decided in the State's Convention in May. Only thing binding in MN is districts won. Ron Paul won over 8 districts.

Montana is a winner take all.. but all Romeny pulled out making Ron Paul the next person inline. 25 to Ron.

You are listening to MSM which has bias.

He really needs to either spend some money on more ads or switch to a 3rd party if he wants this to work out more.

Do we have Libertarian party members here. Did I not see a letter from the Lib Party to invite Ron to run against as a Lib if things don't work out for him with the Republican nomination?
