Do some research!!
When McCain reaches 1191 as declared by the MSM, that will really not be
the case. He is not guaranteed all of those delegates.
HE MUST WIN THE 1191 DELEGATES AT THE CONVENTION! !
DID YOU GET THAT?
HE DOES NOT WIN THE DELEGATES DURING THE PRIMARIES!!
.
Bound or pledged delegates are committed to the winner of the primary to
vote for that candidate in the first round. Many states have yet to pick
delegates. Of those that have, Mike Huckabee and even RP have very high delegate
counts even though the latter hasn't won a single primary. How? Well,
people just simply apply to become Delegates. More of the MH and RP
supporters are activist enough to be willing to become delegates than
McCain supporters.
.
The primaries and caucuses are nothing more than window dressing.
Delegates are not chosen the day of the primary/caucus. The only thing
the primaries/caucuses do, is to commit the BOUND/PLEDGED delegates to
the winner either by winner take all or proportioned out.
.
At the convention, there will be bound/pledged and unbound/unpledged
delegates. NOT ALL DELEGATES FOR EACH STATE ARE BOUND!!
.
The unbound/unpledged can vote for anyone!!
.
At the convention, if McInsane does not get 51% of the delegate vote on
the first round, then they vote again. In the next round, delegates can
vote for whomever they want.
.
Read and learn please!!!!! and spread the word to everyone you can.
.
According to the sight below, here are the bound and unbound totals as
of today.....McCain has 796 bound and 18 unbound delegates.
.
Now let's do some math...
McCain needs 395 bound delegates to reach 1191 of the remaining states:
.
Texas - 137 bound and 3 unbound
Ohio - 88 UNBOUND
South Dakota - 24 bound and 3 unbound
Wisconsin - 37 bound and 3 unbound
Vermont - 17 bound
Idaho - 26 bound and 6 unbound
Hawaii - 20 bound
Pennsylvania - 74 UNBOUND
Oregon - 27 bound and 3 unbound
Puerto Rico - 20 bound and 3 unbound
North Carolina - 69 bound
Indiana - 27 bound and 30 UNBOUND
Kentucky - 45 bound
Mississippi - 36 bound and 3 unbound
Rhode Island - 17 bound and 3 unbound
Nebraska - 30 bound and 3 unbound
New Mexico - 29 bound and 3 unbound
.
There are 561 bound delegates left of which Mr. McCain must win 71% of
to reach 1191.....now when was the last time he won with 71% of the vote?
Now Huck will probably win Nebraska, Kentucky, Mississippi, and South
Dakota.......if this happens, then McCain would have to win just about
every remaining delegate, and that is not likely to happen.
Basically, McCain would almost have to run the board of the other states
to win......not likely.
.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Vermont is the only winner take
all state remaining, so even if McCain wins a state, he does not get all
of the bound delegates.
.
*THE MSM IS LUMPING BOTH BOUND AND UNBOUND IN THEIR TOTALS.......VERY
MISLEADING*
