... With Santorum out and Gingrich staggering like an extra in Re-Animator, Paul's movement is free to take over the state contests.

My comment below the article:


usernamenuse has it right, the only two candidates in this race with the organization to rack up delegates are Romney and Paul. Most media is reporting only Romney's winnings in an attempt to mislead the public into believing that he is the inevitable GOP candidate. Don't buy into it! This race isn't over until "the fat lady sings" in Tampa. Meanwhile, realize this:

Romney? Obama? No significant difference between the two. The ONLY candidate who represents real reform and offers real solutions to the problems faced by our nation is Ron Paul.

Romney likes to tout his "so-called" ability to create jobs, but when you look at his record as Governor of MA, it was pathetic and MA was 47th in the nation in job creation. That is not a record to gloat over, it is a record to be ashamed of! Only Ohio, Michigan, and Louisiana did worse in the same time period.

No, what this country needs is an end to this expensive overseas empire-building: it is bankrupting us! We also need a sound monetary policy. The dollar has lost over 95% of its value under the tenure of the Federal reserve. That is nothing short of awful, and it represents a huge hidden tax on ALL of us working folk. We need to restore the liberty that was the primary reason that allowed this country to become prosperous and the envy of people the world around. The Patriot Act, NDAA, and all these other attacks on our freedom in the name of security have GOT TO GO.

Enough is enough, the American people need to reclaim their country, and the current obvious leader is Ron Paul. People are waking up to this fact; that is why just the other day over 4,300 people braved cold and rain to stand and listen to him in Philadelphia. That is why nearly 10,000 came to hear him speak at UCLA, some even climbing trees to catch a glimpse. Everywhere he goes, the venues are packed. People are hungry for freedom, peace, and prosperity, and Ron Paul is the only candidate offering a viable path to them.

Come, join this growing movement! Search the internet for information about Paul's message. Don't LET the mainstream media tell you he stands no chance. Stand up and be counted!!!! Refuse to settle for less than the best!!!!

Minnesota Delegate totals so far:

Ron Paul:10

Rick Santorum:2

Romney:0

We need to start editing the Wiki and setting things straight.
I don't know how, but if you do I'd say this is urgent. It shows Ron Paul having only a total (for the country) of 26 delegates!

go to p 13 of the MN thread - there is an index thread still stickied to all the state threads over the weekend, but it won't be there long.

[CTRattlesnake]

Well...we need 4 more.

With the disappointing results in MO, i'm having a harder time seeing how that happens.


Minnesota
Maine
Washington

Need 2 more folks, and its not looking good atm

Oklahoma looks good. In Colorado, all we need is to convince two more Santorum people to jump to us than Romney convinces to jump to him or stay voting for Santorum. That might actually work if we can show a track record of winning and having at least four states. Also, Alaska is looking awesome if we can get our delegates in the door.

[Bern]

Iowa is still possible from what I'm hearing.

[azxd]

Paul took 20 of the 24 (http://twitter.com/#!/patandersonmn/status/193855672230739968) delegates available in the CDs.

They are bound unless unbound

[sailingaway]

Nv and Ak also but w two candidates out if Romney needs more they will likely have a bunch unbound plus Ron's and if Romney doesn't need more we are in trouble already

[jmdrake]

Keep hope alive!

Usually you are a very clear writer, but I cannot follow this at all. :p

[puppetmaster]

Seems like a bunch of shills and brainwashed idiots at the slate from reading the comments.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Good Timing, but what this does expose are all those in the county and state GOP party as political communists and fraudsters and should be charged as such.

PS: The propaganda machine of the establishment ringers go into overdrive tomorrow(fooling the people we are already in the GENERAL ELECTION), when Mitt Romney will start his campaign against Obama tomorrow in New Hampshire.

[sailingaway]

Ignore Romney's 'battle against Obama', it is just a show, there is still a primary going on.
