Delegates!!! McCain is not a lock for the nominee.....here is the math.... Please keep this post current
Posted February 13th, 2008 by GiveMeLiberty

Some are it again on this site, saying that McCain will be the nominee.....

I wish you people understood the delegate process and stop folding like a house of cards.....if that were the case, don't you think RP would have quit by now?

Do some research!!!!

When McCain reaches 1191 as declared by the MSM, that will really not be the case. He is not guaranteed all of those delegates.

HE MUST WIN THE 1191 DELEGATES AT THE CONVENTION!!!!

DID YOU GET THAT!!!!

HE DOES NOT WIN THE DELEGATES DURING THE PRIMARIES!!!
Bound or pledged delegates are committed to the winner of the primary to vote for that candidate in the first round.

Many states have yet to pick delegates. Of those that have, RP has very high delegate counts even though he hasn't won a single primary. How? Well people just simply apply. More of RP supporters are willing to become delegates than McCaine supporters.....Ask some here that have become RP delegates.

The primaries and caucases are nothing more than window dressing. Delegates are not chosen the day of the primary/caucas.

The only thing the primaries/caucases do is commit the BOUND/PLEDGED delegates to the winner either by winner take all or proportioned out.

At the convention, there will be bound.pledged and unbound/unpledged delegates. NOT ALL DELEGATES FOR EACH STATE ARE BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The unbound/unpledged can vote for anyone!!!!!

At the convention, if McInsane does not get 51% of the delegate vote on the first round, then they vote again. In the next round, delegates can vote for whomever they want.

Read and learn please!!!!! and spread the word to everyone you can.

According to the sight below, here are the bound and unbound totals as of today.....McCain has 796 bound and 18 unbound delegates.

Now lets do some math:
McCain needs 395 bound delegates to reach 1191

Of the remaining states:

texas - 137 bound and 3 unbound
ohio - 88 UNBOUND
South Dakota - 24 bound and 3 unbound
wisconsin - 37 bound and 3 unbound
vermont - 17 bound
idaho - 26 bound and 6 unbound
hawaii - 20 bound
pennsylvannia - 74 UNBOUND
oregon - 27 bound and 3 unbound
puerto rico - 20 bound and 3 unbound
north carolina - 69 bound
indianna - 27 bound and 30 UNBOUND
kentucky - 45 bound
mississippi - 36 bound and 3 unbound
RI - 17 bound and 3 unbound
nebraska - 30 bound and 3 unbound
new mexico - 29 bound and 3 unbound

There are 561 bound delegates left of which Mr. McCain must win 71% of to reach 1191.....now when was the last time he won with 71% of the vote?

Now Huck will probably win nebraska, kentucky, miss, and SD.......if this happens, then McCain would have to win just about every remaining delegate, and that is not likely to happen.

Basically, McCain would almost have to run the board of the other states to win......not likely.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Vermont is the only winner take all state remaining, so even if McCain wins a state, he does not get all of the bound delegates.

THE MSM IS LUMPING BOTH BOUND AND UNBOUND IN THEIR TOTALS.......VERY MISLEADING


So get your heads out of the MSM garbage!!!

NOW MARCH ON TROOPS!!!!

Great point!

When McCain reaches 1191 as declared by the MSM, that will really not be the case. He is not guaranteed all of those delegates.

McCain needs to lose it, just once, to be put in a straight jacket and carried off by the men in white coats.

Wish someone would provoke him...wouldn't take much, even with his medication onboard.

Thanks airbornesapper7! I'm still voting for Ron Paul. It is hard to talk to some others about this on this forum. Some people have their minds made up that they will not vote for Ron Paul, even if he is the only other canidate that will stop illegal immigration!! How crazy is that? I am spreading the word anywhere else I can. If I can direct people I meet on the street to this site I can definately steer people over to Ron Paul's website!! That is my plan, and so far it is working! It's funny how some people are throwing in the towel and are going to vote for a Democrat. Like that is going to help ANYTHING!!!! I don't understand it. It doesnt really matter though, I'm gonna carry on with my mission to get Ron Paul elected no matter what!!! Ron Paul 2008!!!

We really don't need McCain in office..... I vote for RP .

Thanks AirborneSapper7, another great post.

If I have to write his name on the ballot!

GO RON PAUL!

Welcome aboard smile!

I'm with you. I'll vote for Ron Paul till the end. He is our only hope. Nothing will change my mind.

YES! People are STILL registering to be Ron Paul delegates...no state has had their convention yet..that is when the delegates are voted on..so get to those state conventions and VOTE FOR ALL YOUR RON PAUL DELEGATES! WHOOO HOOOO RON PAUL 2008!

Good to hear we still have a choice. Looks like it's gonna be Ron Paul for me too.

We need to make sure the country is all on the same page when writing someone in. I was listening to a group of people on Fox talking about the elections. I can't remember what city they were in. One gentleman said that he was independent and McCain is not who he wants and he does not want the dems in. He is hoping for an independent to show up and run. Lets hope that happens or Ron Paul goes independent. If he goes independent he will have a bigger chance of success. I know he said he would not do that but maybe he can be persuaded.

If McCain is not nominated on the first ballot, the unbound delegates will most likely vote for Romney rather than Ron Paul. Delegates realize there is no way RP could win the national election in the Fall.
