I have explained this to you and it is not hard to understand.
The numbers YOU posted are not real. Prove they are.
Now here is why you can't. The delegates are chosen at the state conventions, only a fraction of the state conventions have happened therefore the delegates HAVE NOT been chosen. So you are telling me that Romney has delegates that have not been chosen? Delegates that DO NOT exist?
You are missing the point of the strategy. Delegates are free agents.
Even if you ignore the numbers I posted (which I don't see why it is so hard for you to believe it still has Romney ahead by 300 delegates) the fact remains that the number of delegates you are awarding have not even been chosen so they cannot be for any particular candidate. They decide the number of delegates and who each delegate is at the state and national convention. Why are you trying to deny this absolute fact?

Yeah, didn't you just complain that the blog wasn't posted on any MSM so it mustn't have truth? By the way, you exist as what? You weren't mentioned or featured by MSM so I guess I cannot listen to a word you say either!
Get outta here! It's your own thread and still I don't think you belongedit on 25-5-2012 by PhysicsAdept because: (no reason given)

Here let me put it in a pro Romney way so you can understand it better.
Ron Paul won the popular vote for the US virgin islands (don't know if you knew that, the MSM barely mentioned it) HOWEVER Romney won almost all of the delegates despite Ron Paul's popular vote win.
Is it easier to comprehend now?

Don't think Rep. Ron Paul is finished.

Maybe these sources will work better for you and you can use them in conjuction with that map (you could, you know, look at what the map says and check it against google searches, but again.. lazy OP).
Here is what you guys aren't understanding.. Only about 32 states (and territories) have had their state conventions. That means that delegates have only been awarded in those states. Every time we hear about a state having it convention lately we hear about huge uproars between the GOP and Paul supporters (Arizona for example). So all these place that are giving Romney such high numbers are using projected wins.
In reality Romney has won at 13 of the state conventions and all 5 territories (despite paul winning the virgin islands popular vote) so far, and Ron Paul at 5, but will likely take Arizona and Mass and MAYBE Oklahoma after it goes to court since they had two different slates.
I am not making this up it is all verifiable with the news. Just research it. OP you have the option of learning this stuff for yourself.
The map HERE that you are saying is debunked is not debunked you can verify ever single number on it. I promise you. This is your thread why not do one the right way? When you click each of those pins it tells you the number and the states that are yellow it tells you the date that they will determine their delegates
If you don't believe me explain how Ron Paul lost the popular vote in Nevada, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, and Maine yet won the majority of delegates. I am not arguing for the sake of arguing. I am not lying to your or myself out of wishful thinking. I am telling you what is going on. How did Ron Paul win those states after losing the popular vote? Ask yourself that. They thought Romney would have won the most delegates in those states too, but the media was wrong. Now look how many states haven't had their conventions yet (around 21). They are doing the same thing with those states that they did with Nevada, giving Romney the delegates before the conventions. Paul may very well come away with majorities in those states just like Nevada, Minn, Iowa, Colorado, and Maine.
It's not over yet. I am not saying he will win, but I am saying you are dead wrong in this thread and why choose to be ignroant?

Wrong.. another ignorant presumption.
He wasn't winning popular votes while spending his money so why waste money when he knows he can lose the popular vote and still win the state with delegates. Actually when he stopped spending money Romney voters started showing up less at the polls because they thought he was out of the race and there was no point to vote. They will also probably have weak showings at the convention thinking Paul is out which will let Paul supporters scoop up more delegates.
I am really trying to help you understand this. I am not being delusional I am just giving you the facts. You can check it all on the internet.

No. I am not you are. I am not going to talk to someone that chooses to be ignorant. I gave you all the information you need to research it.
Look up what states have not had their conventions and which have.
Look up who has the majority of delegates in Nevada, Colorado, Maine, Iowa, and Minnesota.
Look up the double slate problem in Oklahoma, and the contest in Arizona.
I am reading the news everyday. I have the facts.
You are a troll and this thread is based on absolutely nothing but complete idiocy.
You are wrong, you will be proven wrong. I am not going to keep talking to idiots though. I have given you more than enough information to learn something.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. I believe he thinks he is fulfilling his avatar because he doesn't know the difference between liberals and libertarians (I really actually think there was a thread where he had the two confused) luckily we can just drop this because his threads never get flags because everyone knows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
I'm out. You should go too.
Later.
For anyone that comes in from here on out. This is a pretty much a hoax thread. The delegate count isn't complete until all the states have their GOP conventions.
