FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 5, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – In today’s West Virginia Republican State Convention, Republican candidate Ron Paul’s campaign secured three of the 18 national delegates up for grabs.

“Our goal is to secure as many delegates to the national GOP convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul as possible,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “Securing three delegates in West Virginia is an important step in that direction. We plan on locking up more delegates before the day ends.”

In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, the three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign.

Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their support to Huckabee – putting Huckabee over the top – after Congressman Paul was eliminated in the first round of voting. With three national delegates, Ron Paul secured 20 percent of the 18 delegates that were decided at the State Convention.

RP actually received more votes than Mcain in the first round of voting.

Notice how only Ron Paul walked way with delegates, in addition to Huckabee. Mcain and Romney received zero.

No mention of any of this in main stream media.

However you feel about Ron Paul, this is fucking bullshit.

Guess what.. fuck America. Fuck it. Fuck earth. ><

    He got three. Read the quote in my OP. It's 100% accurate.

    This jist is this:

    It appears what happeed is that McCain and Paul threw Huckabee support. I saw the round one results earlier on CNN and Dr. Paul did have 10% in round 1 and Huckabee had 33% and McCain had 9% with Romney with 47%. It appears that the 19% between McCain and Paul (neither of which had the required 15%) united to give Huckabee the 52% to win. Paul got three delegates in the "trade".

    It isn't. Thats why you didn't see it anywhere else. It was winner take all. Huckabee took all 18.

    WSAZ has learned that Huckabee will give three of his 18 delegates to the Ron Paul campaign in exchange for the support in West Virginia.

    "We struck a deal with the Huckabee people. They came to us and dealt with us honorably and with respect. And so we told them that if Dr. Paul didn't make it through the first round, that we would go for their man. They pledged us three delegates to the republican national convention," Edward Burgess, Paul campaign spokesman, told WSAZ.

    No. You are reading CNN obviously. It's not winner take all. Just like Maine wasn't, and Lousianna and Nevada.

    This whole process is fucking retarded, no matter who you support.

    I don't get fucking lazy shits. Go move back to your gutter homes, and beg for beer money.

    So Ron Paul is going to get 3 delegates because he made a deal. I didn't think that Ron Paul made deals or had allegiances to other people or groups....

    I love how people are so fucking afraid and complacent to just go "CNN doesn't show it. I won't believe anything new and revolutionary, until I'm justified by pop culture."

    What are you? A post-1993 fan or what?
