The Media Lies! This WILL be a BROKERED CONVENTION!
Posted February 11th, 2008 by Jops27
Look, I just got done volunteering at the local GOP typing in freaking names for all of the precincts that voted. I straight up asked them if the Straw Poll gives a candidate any delegates at all.

She said, "No Way! The media isn't telling the truth and we have told them time and time again that this isn't how it works. All it is is a popularity contest. The real delegates get selected at the State Convention."

Men, ONWARD! It is time to get out of the fox holes and move FORWARD! CHARGE THEIR POSITIONS! TAKE NO PRISONERS!

We are being told a blatent LIE. We are WINNING! Can't you SEE???? RP has more grassroots people in his campaign than any other candidate. BE A DELEGATE! Go to all of the County and State conventions. Get on the wait lists if you aren' selected.

Right now isn't the time to quit. Right now is the time for the counter offensive. We're on the MARCH and the Empire is on the RUN!

LET"S DO THIS!

All it is is a popularity contest. The real delegates get selected at the State Convention.

Who then for the most part must vote according to the results of this popularity contest. Come on guys, we've been over this. 80+% of the delegates are bound for the first vote.

Of course the media lies. It's their job!

Knew the first part already. Let's hope the second part is true, too!

This is garbage. Who knows what state they are talking about. Delegate rules are different by state. 75% of the delegates are bound to a candidate on the first ballot

Everytime I read one of your posts, I wonder who you're planning on voting for.

Being Realistic = Troll

At least around here anyway

Hmm, confused.

One post somewhere said that more delegates were unbound to bound (something like 60% to 40%), as a backdoor to avoid nominating a loser.

Now, it's 70% delegates being bound on the first ballot.

Where would one go to verify this?

If we were being 'realistic', this movement never would have begun. I reject your declaration of what is and what is not realistic.

The only way there is a brokered convention is if Huckabee runs away with these last states. Otherwise you are fooling yourself.
