Ron Paul wins Iowa and Minnesota, and it looks like a a win in Missouri, Maine, and Washington as well as other states have won too! (delegate totals)

In my state, Ron Paul wins landslide style

“Ron Paul Wins Minnesota Delegates by a Landslide”

Ron Paul says he will have enough delegates to challenge Romney for the nomination.

A few weeks back, when Rick Santorum was arguing that he could power out delegate wins by organizing the little-noticed state conventions and caucuses, I agreed with him. And then Santorum quit. This left the state delegate pool hot and panting for Romneymentum, right?

Not quite yet. Over the weekend, Minnesota held congressional district conventions. Now, the state’s February caucus — one of the trio of non-binding contests Santorum won early that month — went 45 percent for Santorum, 27 percent for Paul, and only 17 percent for Romney. The Associated Press and other groups went on to estimate that Santorum would win 17 of Minnesota’s delegates, Paul would win 10, and Romney 6.

Wrong. Ron Paul dominated the CD conventions. According to a tweet from RNC committeewoman Pat Anderson, Paul took 20 of the 24 delegates available in the CDs.

That’s 20 delegates more than the zero that Paul got from Minnesota in 2008. Keep watching this. The Paul movement spent five years prepping for a guerilla delegate campaign…

I remembered hear that a few states in Paul was right behind Romney in secured delagates but he was trailing in overall pledged delagates. But I do not think that he is close anymore though.

He is a lot closer than most people know. I understand what is going on here and I have seen it with my own eyes. Our plan is working!

If you are reading this and you like Ron Paul, GET YOUR ASS TO YOUR PRIMARY/CAUCUS and vote for him. Stay and be a delegate. If it's your first time or you are confused by the process, just find a person with a Ron Paul T-shirt on.

Well I hope Ron wins the republican nomination, I'm doubtful but I'd like to see it happen. He's a bit of a nutter but he'll bring some actual issues to the table. It would lead to a more substantive debate rather than the likely bullshity wedge issue contest we would see between Romney and Obama.

If I were registered, I'd vote Paul.

Alas, I'm too lazy.

You're not lazy! Perhaps, you value leisure more than the price of registering and then voting!

If you do a cost benefit analysis, voting really is pretty irrational. (unless, of course you value the act of voting itself and not the consequence that your vote ultimately has, which is probably the case for most people)

Also, I agree on Paul winning the nomination. It'd at least shake things up a bit.

Though I'm betting Obama gets his second term no matter what.

That's a pretty bold statement. Every day another Democrat distances themselves from Obama. One Democrat in Virginia even said he wasn't sure he would vote for Obama.

And people who vote the treasury make out like bandits!

Obama vs Romney I give it to Obama. They are similar so Obama will win due to the incumbents advantage.

Obama vs Paul. I dunno, it would really depend on how the public reacts to the issues Ron brings up. As it stands they don't get too much attention. Though Ron certainly has a charisma gap compared to Obama.

Got a link to anything here? Or are we just to go on your biased word?
