ron paul will get a third of the delegates from Maine.... the caucus was a beauty contest and was non binding.
Quote from ratboy88:
first of all fk you for the "non-sense" comment.
and your comment about wishing mitt had paul's message? that shows me you are completely ignorant about the dynamic. the only reason mitt is a front runner is because he sold out a long time ago.
ron paul is unique.. anyone else with his message would have been taken out a long time ago. paul has credibility because he is brilliant and has a very long and outstanding track record. mitt rides around for 12 hours with the family dog strapped to his car roof.
mitt is a chickenhawk war monger with 5 healthy sons that refuse to serve their country. instead, they ride around the country in an RV eating pizza and "punking" dad.

Ron Paul is picking up delegates left and right. Anytime another campaign cannot find a delegate willing to make the trip to the state convention, a Ron Paul supporter is there to fill the empty slot. Similar situation in Louisiana. The delegate counts on this thread are based on the popular vote, which is just a "guess", because in many states, delegates are uncommitted.

I wasn't trying to be harsh about it. I was juts pointing out that this thread wasn't intended to contain debate on voter fraud and other such theories.
If you want to rip on any particular candidate there are countless threads on which to do so.
Quote from ratboy88:
no prob.. just knock off the "non-sense" crap. did you educate yourself on the Maine contest?
"-- Gov. Mike Huckabee is winner in West Virginia Republican convention, CNN projects."Quote from Cache Landing:
Looks as though Mitt is going to lock in the 18 AL delegates from West Virginia.
They haven't quite finished yet, but he has a commanding lead at 44%. Ron Paul was the only one knocked out after the first round with less than 10%.
It's only 18 delegates and the fact that Mac didn't even show up says something about this race. It is essentially Mac getting the larger states while everyone else fights over the smaller ones.

Quote from Cache Landing:
You're right on both points. Bad choice of words, and I also should've been more educated on the Maine process. It appears that the two sources I mainly use for primary election structure didn't do a very good job of representing the strange format in Maine.
In any case, Maine results are still more speculation than fact. the point of my original Maine post was to the extent that Mitt seems to have great ability in "winning" the current preference of unbound delegates, while seemingly unable to pull off wins where it might actually gain him the support of bound delegates.
