WTF?!?!?!?!

[opinionatedfool]

I've stopped caring about the popular vote.

Delegates, delegates, delegates.

[Oddone]

Sounds about right. Also don't expect him to win the popular vote or even come in third in Texas. I live in Texas, most people don't even know who Ron Paul is. Establishment rules the popular vote, while Ron Paul Grassroots rules Tarrant County and Harris County delegates. The best we can do is fill the delegate slots, and then vote for Ron Paul after the first vote at the national convention.

Texas just changed their rules, we used to be un-bound after the 3rd vote now it is the 1st vote.

[Gravik]

Yeah, well how is this tard winning Calfornia?

Not looking good. Ron preformed exactly at his RCP average in 2008. His best district, he pulled double his average (8%). We have a tremendous amount of work to do if we want to win any delegates at all.

CA. Liberal state. You will be hard-pressed to find the kind of hardcore Constitutionalist conservatives there even if they are Republicans (they have a name - RINOs). RINOs vote Romney.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

I said months ago that just because there are a few anti-drug war people it will mean nothing.

[Keith and stuff]

He is doing better in the new LA Times poll than his last 2 polls, which were 8%.

Things are looking up in CA.

[The_Ruffneck]

santorum really dropped off in CA , i remember him being alot higher

[GreenBulldog]

Doesn't surprise me too much. Liberals are people who believe that social salvation can be achieved through government legislation.

[FindLiberty]

IL and CA give me the shivers.... ($$$,$$$,$$$ broke! Want fiat printing press and political favors.)

They'd vote for Abe Lincoln who would just lock up Ron Paul, print more paper money and fire his federal cannons at NH towns.

[WeThePeople777]

Well I'm in CA and I will support him all the way.

[narrowphoenix]

Haven't we all learned these polls don't mean anything????

[Ivash]

Hmm, yeah, if Romney wins by this much it comes pretty difficult to see him not getting the required number of delegates.

[giovannile07]

You guys got to realize that many of these democrats aren't going to switch to GOP and will probably end up supporting Barack Obama and the Republicans here are just like the other Republicans in other states.

[digitaldean]

Can anyone vote in California no matter of party? Or do you have to be a Republican?

[skyorbit]

The Problem is in California the Popular Vote DOES ellect the Delegates!

Same thing with South Dakota.

The caucus states are starting to end, which means we really need to push voter registration drives and GOTV Efforts.

I spoke to someone today, your typical marginally-interested registered voter, who thought Paul had dropped out. I told him to look up "Ron Paul Media Blackout".

Remember folks, become a delegate even if you are NOT in a caucus state. If we go to a brokered convention we will need all hands on deck to reach 51% of the 2nd vote.

[thoughtomator]

California elects delegates per CD, not statewide, so these polls are of marginal utility.

[Karsten]

We're talking about California Republicans in a closed primary. They all voted very heavily against medical marijuana.

I don't know anyone that likes Romney at all. I do know of Santorum and Gingrich supporters, more for Santorum. A lot of people don't know who Ron Paul is and a lot of people that do, didn't know that he was still in the race. A lot of people still don't care. From what I have seen (in the more conservative valley) , I really think a lot of people that claim to be democrats and those that are indies are more fiscal conservatives but don't care so much for the social issues so they shy away from Repubs. If people knew Ron Paul's real position on the issues, I think he would have a lot more support. My Mom has been a democrat for years (now thinks she is a Libertarian) and she is totally on board for Ron. The republicans that I know, seem to care more about social issues than fiscal issues.They like Santorum for what he says but they don't know his record. People from all political sides are also concerned about Ron's foreign policy. We are working on our congressional district (9) and will continue until June.

Oh, and we did a gun show a couple weeks ago. The guy next to our booth was an older guy. He was a USMC vet and he had a bumper sticker on his truck that said "I am already against the next war". We were talking with him and my hubby mentioned that I pointed out his bumper sticker on the way in and asked if he was a Paul supporter. The guy said that he has liked Paul for the last few years and I said, great so we can count on your vote then? He said he wasn't sure because of him teaming up with Romney! UGH! I tried telling him that the media was pushing this and that there was no alliance but he wasn't convinced. My Mom emailed that same week asking what was up with him teaming up with Romney cause she did not like that! IMO, this is hurting Paul! Also, something else here in CA that I have noticed, people like Paul but they hate the Repubs and don't want to register as one.

+1

[skyorbit]

OK,. but that's not possible in a State like South Dakota. When you vote for the candidate you're specifically voting for that candidates slate of delegates. I don't know how California actually appoints the delegates. If it's done at legislative district conventions that might be possible, but if it's part of the actual primary then it's not an option.

Delegates, delegates, delegates.

I 2nd this.

[rockerrockstar]

A big part of the problem is the media blackout. They don't act like Ron is running and only mention the other three guys.
