This has no bearing on what we are doing so please don't let it discourage anyone. This is not over we just started our process it is Nationals that count and then it still is not over till November and if you are involved locally it should never be over for any of us

"In his speech Tuesday, McCain took the opportunity to jab Democrats for trying to walk away from the North American Free Trade Agreement, which many voters believe has cost Americans' their jobs."

Melissa here in Indiana we need to come up with a stratigy to presuade voters that just because mccain is the nominee in other states does not mean they "HAVE TO" vote for him here.

I am running into alot of that. When you tell them about delgates they just say that with all the other states it will not matter.

Also, the way it's stated makes it either mean that the democrats trying to walk away from NAFTA cost americans their jobs, or NAFTA itself cost many americans their jobs.

Just work hard at identifying supporters so that you can turn them out to caucuses, that is where the money is at now.

There is a state convention and I assume they have to get the delegates to go to it somewhere.

Supporters become delegates, it's delegates who will select the nominee, not the rank & file voters. Get your delegates into position to win their spots, then nail McCain at the convention.

You are both right about it being something we need to try and tell hoosiers about to try and stop Mccain but also it is about the delegates and we have to keep doing what we have been doing and other states need to too.

This is quite useful.

Do the math.
Become a delegate if you still can.

If we won every unpledged delegate and the ones from the dropouts, we wouldn't have enough to take him by my count.
