The majority of the Virgin Island voters did not get what they wanted then. You cant have it both ways. Either we have a delegate process or we dont. Currently we do. It is impossible to "hijack" a process when you follow the rules. You spamming it does not make it true.

do you really think that the wishes of 112 voters in one small territory should come before every state in which ron paul lost?

no wonder ron paul has so little support among most voters, whacky reasoning like yours scares them off

ron paul hasn't won a single state primary election, not one

Why should one vote matter more the another? They dont. A vote is a vote. With your logic Romney "hijacked" the Virgin Islands and went against the popular vote. The Precedent should be set then showing the popular vote does not matter with open delegates. The only reason you refuse to admit it is 1) you will never admit to being wrong and 2) you are here to spread disinformation knowing that enough people will believe you anyways.

you're the one spreading misinformation

what matters is the majority of votes, not one vote

romney has gotten the vast majority of the votes cast in the states

ron paul got 112 votes in the virgin islands, do you think those votes trump millions of votes in the states?

you don't know what you're talking about

A Ron Paul nomination ensures a second term for Obama.

GOP is mad

AUGUSTA, Maine — Even before the Maine Republican Party convention kicked off in earnest Saturday morning, there was a buzz around the event.

Would GOP Chairman Charlie Webster face a backlash for apparently bending the rules to name a convention chairman ahead of time and not at the convention? Would Ron Paul supporters “take over” the convention, as Webster feared? Would what is supposed to be a party-building gathering devolve into a fractured mess?

Those questions were answered by lunchtime: Yes, yes and yes.

In extremely close votes late Saturday morning, convention-goers elected Ron Morrell, a Paul delegate, as secretary and then elected Brent Tweed, also a Paul delegate, as chairman.

Both were picked over the two candidates that were endorsed by the party establishment and the votes signaled a likely shift in how the convention would unfold.
