Ron Paul wins Maine
« on: May 07, 2012, 04:19:54 PM »
Paul now has 21 delegates compared to 1 for Romney, (Remember that Maine's Feb. 11 caucus was nonbinding.)
In Nevada, Paul's supporters won 22 out of 25 delegate slots.

Ron Paul’s surprise upsets in Maine and Nevada – two states that the mainstream media had already called for Mitt Romney.

The successful election of Paul supporters to most of the delegate slots in Nevada came on the heels of multiple warnings from the Republican National Committee to the Nevada Republican Party not to elect Paul-supporting delegates at the convention. The state party rejected the RNC’s advice, and it appears that the convention delegates have done so as well.

He also has mathematical winning delegates from Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon and Vermont, which have yet to hold delegate-selecting conventions.

I believe RP now has garnered enough delegates to take his case to the convention floor. (but someone will need to validate )

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

Nice!
