Ron Paul tied for 2nd in Florida!

[tomveil]

Thanks to the wonderful "winner takes all" delegate system, the only person who's going to get any delegates at all is McCain. Everybody other candidate wasted time and money getting exactly the same amount of delegates we got!

I like it- definitely a good perspective! :)

"Hey Mitt, how much did YOU spend for YOUR second place?"

[ronpaulitician]

Romney, right?

[kotetu]

That is definitely a good way to look at it. :)

The good news is that Ron Paul's voters may have made the difference between the winner - it looks like a close race for 1st. Way to stick it to 'em, grassroots!

Yes i like this way of looking at it :) but you also have to take into account the public's perception in upcoming elections of Mitt's 2nd place vs. our 5th :(

absentee ballots will not be counted unless there is close tie between the candidates! all of those absentee ballots could very well have cost RP the election in FL... hate to be such a downer but its true... :(

And the winner only gets half of the delegates that he would have otherwise.
