If Romney win 51% are the delegates bound to him?

[Rangeley]

No, the straw poll has no bearing on who gets the delegates whatsoever.

The great thing about super tuesday, is that the media isnt emphasizing any particular state. So we may be able to do better because of lower turnout. We also own caucuses cause we all sign up as delegates.

[Sarge]

It is all about the delegates. The popular vote only helps in bumping McCain down and keeping this wide open.

Give it some time tonight, before all start bad mouthing what is going on tonight. I do believe Dr. Paul can handle wining the delegates better then the popular votes.

Good omen tonight. As my wife and I went out to get some dinner, a sky writing plane just did Ron Paul as we left. Signs popping up for Ron Paul. McCain putting signs by ours in Phoenix.

I am glad they did the sky writing today, as it is suppose to rain tomorrow for the next two or three days. We need the rain bad as our lakes are way down here.

Bring in the delegates Main.

Yes, this is one of the greatest advantages Super Tuesday can bring for Paul. Since there are over 20 states at play, this means we can get excellent results in the places we focus on.

How the hell is Romney winning Maine?!?!?!?

What are the supporters doing up there???



Just remember how consistant these results are, normally after 2% they never change...

We are doing more than some other states like SC, FL, IA, NH, pretty much all of them except NV. Plus we are getting a lot of the delegates. Im pretty sure we will do better than your state as well. Come Super Tuesday can i say "What are the supporters doing over there?"

[Rangeley]

We are doing exactly what we have to do to win - get as many delegate spots as we possibly can. The Straw Poll doesnt matter at all, its the delegates. While we are trailing in the straw poll, it appears that we are leading in delegates from on the ground reports thus far.

[acroso]

Looks like McCain is winning?

They just reset it or something maybe they got the MSM memo a little late.

I have no doubt about that, Republican is a swear word in my city. This is HUUGE Obama/Hillary country. So don't expect any miracles from Northern Cali.

[acroso]

So is McCain winning? That's what that yahoo thing says..

dont worry about it. its a goof. They must be having difficulties.

[Carole]

No percentage given but suddenly McCain is first and Romney third. This looks very odd.

I took a screen shot.

[Carole]

Good reason to worry. "goof" :)

[Carole]

What are the percentage numbers below the big percentages?

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

Now it's saying 41% of precincts in, Romney 53%, McCain 22%, Paul 19%.

Where the hell is McAmnesty picking up these votes?
