Did you all miss the part where Ron Paul actually won Iowa.
Wonder how that affected momentum , if 16 weeks ago Iowa GOP had their act together and actually reported in timely manner the real winner wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back then.
and this is the party worried about voter fraud? heck can't even run their own primaries correctly.
They are their own worse enemies.
Sorry Scoot, it was Santorum, not Paul http://news.yahoo.com/iowa-gop-examines-went-wrong-caucuses-222017693--abc-news-politics.html;_ylt=A2KLOzHLUqFPFEMAhdPQtDMD
nope you a bit behind on your current events, Ron Paul took most Iowa delegates though he only finished third (announced 6 days ago). He has now secured the majority of delegates from the state. Its all about the delegate count Folks
“Taken together, these victories and those yet to happen forecast a prominent role for Ron Paul at the RNC,” Paul campaign manager John Tate said after the Colorado and Minnesota gains. “They also signal that the convention will feature a spirited discussion over whether conservatism will triumph over the status quo.”
All he needs is 5 states majority delegate wins and will be able to take it to a brokered convention and be nominated right from the RNC floor.
so now he majority of delegates in Louisiana, Iowa, Minnesota, he will probably secure Maine, and has good chance in Colorado
Here’s the latest on Paul’s strength in state committees and conventions:
At Massachusetts’ state convention
less than half of Romney’s 27 chosen delegates won tickets to Tampa. Paul supporters were chosen instead. While all of the state’s delegates are committed to vote for Romney, the delegates get to decide on the party chairman, platform, and VP nominee.
Paul backers in Alaska
were elected as party chairman and co-chairman but failed to change the rules to give Paul the state’s 24 delegates. (He will
get six.)
Paul supporters are a majority in the Iowa GOP’s State Central Committee, and he’s
set to claim a majority of the state’s delegates despite finishing third in the caucuses.
They
dominated the caucuses in Louisiana, carrying four out of six congressional districts with a tie in a fifth. That means 74 percent of the state’s convention delegates will be Paul backers.
In Minnesota, Paul
won 20 of 24 delegates allocated at congressional district conventions, and he’s expected to take more at the statewide convention.
Paul supporters teamed up with backers of former Pennsylvania senator
Rick Santorum in Colorado to get
13 delegates.
The candidate has also picked up small delegate gains in states where Romney won big — for example, five delegates in Pennsylvania and four in Rhode Island.
Attempts to replicate these successes are taking place in other states across the country — for example, the upcoming state convention in
Nevada.
