Please explain to me how the title is misleading?

Paul did WIN Minnesota this weekend; what does 20 out of 24 delegates mean to you? To me it means a landslide win.

I will concede that the title could read "Ron Paul wins the delegate race in MN"; but overall it is not mis-leading. The straw polls back in Feb. mean NOTHING; these delegates are elected (by thier peers) via a very concise (and followed) process. They are NON- BINDING and WILL be at the National Convention in Tampa and WILL cast thier vote for Dr. Paul. It is all a part of the plan.

MN is not the only state this happening in; check out Colorado and Iowa.

This strategy has been planned for years and is working; beat'em at their own game. Play by the rules and win....

Do you hear that rumble in the distance? Watch out... the train is coming.....

One of the things I appreciate about Ron Paul's candidacy is it exposes how entirely fraudulent the entire election media reality show is.

Here's thee headlines from 3 major news networks, including Fox, when Santorum was declared the 'winner' in Minnesota in February:

Santorum shakes up GOP race with three-for-three finish

www.foxnews.com...

Santorum jolts GOP presidential race with 3-state sweep

www.cnn.com...

Rick Santorum Sweeps: Stops Mitt Romney in Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado

abcnews.go.com...

Now, how come none of those media outlets have run the very same headlines today but with Paul's name in the place of Santorums?

My suspicious for a while now has been that all the 'tea party' candidates (and even much of the FreedomWorks 'tea party' co-opted movement) has been an intentional distraction away from Paul.

Santorum, Bachman, Newt, Perry, Cain...all distractions meant to pull voters unhappy with Romney away from Paul and give the media and excuse to ignore Paul.

He didn't "win".

He came in second to someone that isn't even running anymore.

I guess coming in second is the same as winning to Ron Paul.

Wow... I will now disengage conversation with you. It appears that you have no sense or knowledge of how the election system works at all.

Good day to you and goodbye.

Yeah move along.

Rick Santorum got 44.9%
Ron Paul got 27.1%

Santorum got 17 delegates.
Ron Paul got 10 delegates.

No matter how you spin this, Ron Paul came in second to a guy that is no longer even running.
