Breaking: Romney did not win nomination

Incredible developments have emerged spelling out how Romney may not have actually taken the nomination, after all.

Even with news circulating like wildfire that Romney secured the Republican nomination with an alleged win in Tuesday's Texas Primary, it seems as though this may not actually be the case. Ironically enough, Romney still may not have even taken Texas, yet.

After a careful comb through the numbers, how the race is playing out and what delegate totals are emerging from the states, it seems as though Romney currently has only around half of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination.

So, why is the 'national' media acting this way? Are they incorrectly still using the 'estimated' delegate totals, based on the initial caucuses and primaries from each state, while ignoring the actual delegate totals emerging as the states finally begin to conclude their weeks-long delegate selection processes?

    "Romney is not only nowhere near locking up the nomination, a brokered convention is now almost a guarantee, leaving the Ron Paul Revolution squarely in the driver's seat."

    I love it! Great post Teri =)

    That cannot be true.

    Romney must have taken the nomination.

    After all, he was the only candidate wearing magic underwear.

    And so it has finally happened...Ron Paul admits he won't be the nominee: http://politicalticker.blogs....

    "When it is all said and done, we will likely have as many as 500 supporters as delegates on the Convention floor," the Texas congressman wrote. "That is just over 20 percent! And while this total is not enough to win the nomination, it puts us in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of the GOP!"

    CNN currently estimates Paul to have the backing of 140 delegates. In May, Paul's campaign said it would shift its focus from competing in primary states to securing delegates at state party conventions ahead of the national Republican convention in Tampa, Florida in late August. Paul is not running for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

    In his letter, Paul said delegates supporting the presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney would also help his cause.

    "We will send several hundred additional supporters to Tampa who, while bound to Romney, believe in our ideas of liberty, constitutional government, and a common-sense foreign policy," Paul wrote.

    Same exact thing is happening in Mexico all independent polls show Lopez Obrador as the front runner but the media is saying the pretty boy has won. The media has been caught lying, handing out promo supplies, and getting paid off to do favorable interviews for the candidate they picked. People are angry and calling for a "revolution" they are demanding to take part in vote counts and taking to the streets to protest the medias corruption. This is our future, I dont know who learned from who now...

    I hear Dick Clark Productions owns most of the Mexican media. I wonder if its true and if its a factor in out election fraud.



    People in the videos hare saying the people of Mexico have woken up, their two parties are one in the same. They know the media has picked the president and they will not stand for it. They are calling for all the people who are not voting for the chosen one to take to the streets.


    Here they are saying if the media chooses their president there will be a revolution.



    I wonder when we are gonna wake up, Romney was chosen.

    Conventions are what count, come on people, don't eat what the media puts on your plate.
  • bmacklowe Katfish 2012/06/01 06:52:01

    Conventions and caucuses are merely a part of the process. Many primaries are the final vote in their respective states. The national convention is where the tally of votes from all states are counted and reviewed. However, those votes won in primaries, caucuses and mini-conventions in states are pledged to vote for the candidate they were chosen for. Our vote chooses a slate of delegates that are pledged for a candidate on the first ballot. This is just like how the general election works. You vote, a slate of electors are assembled who are pledged to vote for a particular candidate. In the general election there are occasionally 'faithless electors,' who do not vote for their intended candidate, but those are few and far between (both Gore and Kerry lost one electoral vote due to this). At the GOP national convention this does not happen until after the first ballot, because the rules prohibit it. A delegate must vote for their pledged candidate on the first ballot. If no candidate has the required amount of 1144, then delegates are free to switch their vote on subsequent ballots. Since Romney has already won 1183, this will not be the case at the 2012 convention. Additionally, he will pick up many more delegates through June which prevents any doubt that he will be the nominee.

    I think it's hysterical the RNC is not even capable of determining who their candidate is. How many numbers are floating around out there. Where is old mumbling Prince Reibus to explain it all. Heck, maybe Bachmann is the candidate after all !

    I've been saying for months now that this denial is so silly! Even Ron Paul said that he was stopping his active campaign because he knew he had no hope of winning enough delegates to win. He encouraged his supporters to keep voting as a protest, but he's not an idiot. He knows Mitt Romney is the nominee. The numbers speak for themselves. 1183 delegates is more than enough to put Romney out of reach. Sorry, but Ron Paul supporters have to face reality sometime.

    When and WHere did Ron Paul ever say
    "he knew he had no hope of winning enough delegates to win. He encouraged his supporters to keep voting as a protest"
    Ron paul said
    The campaign will not spend resources campaigning in primary states but WILL BE focusing on winning delegates in caucus states
  • bmacklowe nverumind 2012/06/01 00:42:26

    In his statement when he withdrew from active campaigning he said that he had no hope of overcoming Romney and his funds would not allow for heavy campaigning in the remaining states.

    i would like to see an article or a speech where he actually used those words, because that is not what his campaign manager or himself to my knowledge said.

    "We will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."

    Basically he was saying, 'we want to continue getting delegates so we can have a bigger say at the convention, but I know I'm not going to be the nominee.'

    ok ..well what he was "basically" saying and what he "said" are two different things.
    assumption to fact, does not a Fact make.

    Well, believe what you want, but Mitt Romney happens to be the presumptive nominee. He will be the one who debates President Obama in October. Ron Paul will not be on the ballot in November, unless he decides to go Independent. And I'll give your advice back to you by reminding you that just because you would like Ron Paul to have a shot at the top spot doesn't mean that is the reality. I say this not because Mitt Romney was my first choice (I voted for Newt Gingrich), but because the facts are the facts.

    I never said that he absolutely will be president! That is who i support due to what he stands for, just because i refuse to support more of the same doesnt meant that i am not in touch with reality.
    Maybe you should stop being so quick to attack and belittle others.

    I was not belittling. I responded to your "assumption to fact, does not a fact make" comment. The fact is that Paul will not be the nominee.

    beauty contest does NOT count... delegates do and NONE are bound even on the first round per RNC rules #11 and #38 (if I recall correctly.)

    Watch Ben Swann on Youtube or Channel 19 news from Cincinatti. he is the BEST real journalist I've seen!

    Now go look at the totals that came from state conventions. Many of the states (like Texas, for instance) in which Romney's 'projected' to take a majority of delegates, have yet to even have their state conventions.

    Romney has won 1144 delegates he needed to qualify for the RNC nomiation. Breaking News: Barack has been found to not be a U. S, citizen ! One of his old white girl freinds came forward and told the Secret Servive and FBI that he was born in Kenya ! Can you believe that ?!
