Remember the media's blather about who "won" Iowa, Romney or Santorum? Well that was the popular vote. Iowa has 28 delegate votes. You know that this whole primary thing is about delegates - right?
Good. Because none less than the Romney team recently admitted that they expect Ron Paul will get 20 out of Iowa's 28 delegate votes.
And that's happening all over the country.
Suckers.
Unless Romney reaches the 1100 threshold and/or if Paul doesn’t reach the majority votes (not delegates) in at least five states, then all his games won’t matter.
Suckers
And that's happening all over the country.
'"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future," adds Paul, in his statement.
'[...] Last Wednesday Paul told CNN that he doesn't foresee lending his support to Romney any time soon, and that he's staying in the race to impact the party's agenda. He added that to reconcile his differences with Romney would, at this point, be "pretty hard."
'"It certainly isn't for the reason of disrupting the convention," said Paul, of his push for delegates at state party conventions. "I'm in it for very precise reasons: to maximize our efforts to get as many delegates as we can. I'm still a candidate, and to promote something that is very, very important, that is a change in the direction for the Republican Party."'
It wasn't even the popular vote, but the caucus vote, which then went to the convention level, etc. In states that use a primary system as opposed to a caucus system, the popular vote determines how many delegates a candidate will receive (and those will be allocated proportionately or winner-take-all).
Because none less than the Romney team recently admitted that they expect Ron Paul will get 20 out of Iowa's 28 delegate votes. And that's happening all over the country.
See my previous post; unless Paul can win states, this delegate strategy will not prove fruitful.
