PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN WIN THE
> NOMINATION AND STOP LISTENING TO THE MSM FOR YOUR INFO! Posted
> February 6th, 2008 by SGP
> I hope someone will put this on the front page so it doesn't get
> lost.
> The MSM is not reporting how to become the nominee in a situation
> like this so i will tell you to stop gettin g your info from the MSM.
> I know many of you are bummed about yesterday BUT THAT IS BECAUSE
> YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION SYSTEM WORKS : Let me explain
> to you the reality of how to become the nominee.
> First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of
> these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll
> and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way
> this matters is if 1 person receives 1192 delegates that are bound by
> state rules to be commited to that candidate. So if a candiate like
> Mccain has 600 delegates now and he doesn't reach 1192 most of the
> delegates the state awarded him mean nothing and keep in mind in most
> of the states most of the people that represent the 600 for Mccain are
> actually Ron Paul supporters. NOW there is no possible way that anyone
> in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in
> state wins by the candidates.
> So what happens now you ask? You look at the number of delegates
> that Dr. Paul has that are uncommited to the other candidates and will
> support him. these delegates are not decided by the popular vote ie:
> straw poll of the people. Since no one will have enough delegates to
> skate them through to the nomination we now must look at how many
> delegates NOT VOTES but delegates Dr. Paul has that are 100%
> uncommited to the other candidates and will be 100% for Dr. Paul and
> are free to vote for whom they wish.
> This race will go all the way to the convention for there is no
> other way for someone to receive the nomintaion untill the convention.
> The RNC will convene its annual Winter Meeting - and voters will
> continue to cast their ballots in the nation's primaries and caucuses.
> Candidates for delegate and alternate delegate to the convention will
> be elected - and thousands of convention participants and guests will
> begin planning their trips to Minneapolis-Saint Paul The first week in
> September 2008
> SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?
> This means that all of the people that registered to become a
> deligate for Dr. Paul can go to the convention and cast thier vote for
> Dr. Paul, now think about what i just said : Do you think for one
> second that all the people that voted for Dr. Paul and filed to become
> a deligate will not show up at the convention to vote for the good
> Doctor? Of course they will just like they battled the rain and the
> sleet and the 15 below zero winter weather to knock on doors and wave
> signs spreading our message.
> Now i assure you that even though we didn't win the popular vote in
> many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE
> OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the
> straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.
> Doesn't Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the
> convention for the nomination?
> NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually
> works.
> We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on
> the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have
> picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more
> than 5 states.
> Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that
> said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a
> delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every
> day.
> So please STOP you worry too much because you do not understand how
> the election system works and you thought we lost didn't you?
> The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further
> ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination.
> I hope this gives a better understanding of how we have been winning
> even though most of you thought we were not.
> NOW LET'S KEEP WORKING!
