So voting for a Giuliani is a betrayal of all of that. Before they go third-party, I'd think they'd pull out all the stops to support Huckabee or Brownback.

Have you given up on that fruitcake Ron Paul?

At this point a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Rudy, which is a betrayal of the pro-life position and thus, a vote for Hillary.

Republicans must think hard before casting their votes in the primary. With a field of nutcakes and losers, like Ron Paul, Rudy can take the nomination with less than 30% of the primary vote.

30% of the vote

That's what I've been wondering. I simply don't remember.

I know in the general election that most states give all electoral delegates to the candidate who wins that state. There are a few states that appportion them based on percentage of vote for any candidate. Either method is constitutional.

However, the primaries are not a constitutional issue. They are a party issue.

Does each states convention delegates all go to the candidate who wins that state? or are they apportioned by percentage?

A vote for ______ is a vote for ______. Yeah, yeah. More nonsense. It's a tiresome argument.

In truth, a vote for any candidate is and can only be a vote for that candidate.
