DELEGATES All candidates may be stripped of all their delegates in the lawsuit if the judge accepts the evidence of vote/ballot tampering (and there is LOTS...video evidence as well!) That would give us an open convention with a level playing field, and that would be exciting as H3LL! the playing field isnt less equal because our candidate doesnt win the majority,,,, Bush recoount was upheld, so will this years delegates be,,, There has never been a challenged Primary, and we are talking a Primary, not the General, before now, or tampering and voter fraud so blatant as with the Robme/RNC/GOP 2012 run. Anything can happen, and the case is going before the judge soon! We are talking RNC/GOP not DNC. |

Here is an excerpt from a 12 July 2012 ABC News story:
Rep. Ron Paul faces long odds in his last chance to win an official presence and speaking slot at the Republican National Convention.
Paul supporters are organizing for the Nebraska state GOP convention on Saturday, which could give the libertarian Republican candidate enough support to grant him a 15-minute speech at the party’s August convention in Tampa. Under RNC bylaws, Paul will qualify as a candidate for the nomination in Tampa–and be afforded a speech at the convention–if he can demonstrate plurality support among delegates in five states. Paul controls a plurality in Iowa, Minnesota, and Maine, and he could meet that mark in the still-disputed Louisiana delegation. Those involved in Nebraska’s convention, however, say Paul is a long-shot to win there. |

He already has a plurality of over 5 states. Part of the lawsuit.... since the GOP/RNC is a "club" and not a Federal body, they have changed all the rules this year to prevent a contested run by Paul against Robme. They've stripped their duly elected delegates of status, struck whole conventions, and failed to count votes...everything they could....even illegal... to make sure Paul doesn't get a chance to speak... Ya gotta ask....what are they afraid of....their boy losing to someone they have always called "unelectable" if they give him media coverage? |

From Omaha.com, 14 July 2012
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. -- Overhyped. That was the consensus Saturday at the Nebraska Republican State Convention, where Ron Paul's insurgency was peacefully and soundly derailed. Any fears that the convention would descend into chaos evaporated early as Paul and Mitt Romney supporters made it clear that civility would reign unlike in other states where Paul and Romney supporters verbally clashed, resulting in arrests and allegations of physical violence. In the end, the Paul revolution in Nebraska got smoked. Paul, a libertarian Texas congressman, won only two of the state GOP's 35 national convention delegates. Romney, the party's presumptive presidential nominee, won the rest. “We did it the Nebraska way. In Nebraska, we can have our disagreements but, at the end of the day, we work together,” said Mark Fahleson, state GOP chairman. Paul's loss in Nebraska means he will not be guaranteed a speaking role at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. . . . . . Paul aggressively worked to win delegates at state conventions across the nation, even though he long ago conceded defeat in his presidential bid. He needed to win a majority of delegates in five states to be given a 15-minute speaking role in Tampa. He has won majorities in four. Nebraska was his last chance to win a fifth. |

Some people just don't get it.... It's not over till it's over. He's the only Rep candidate running besides Robme. Robme is under lawsuits and investigation for MULTIPLE federal crimes from real estate fraud to ballot tampering, now lying to the SEC and possibly tax evasion.... There is also a lawsuit pending against him and the GOP/RNC that will be heard in federal court before the convention in Tampa, involving voter fraud and ballot tampering. It's never wise to assume until all the facts are in..... Cite one LAW ENFORCEMENT source that he is under investigation? You can't because he is not. |

He ran a great race. That should definitely count. But his time is over now. It did count, he was going to have what they call King Maker status where he had input in shaping policy and the future of party but doesn't look like that will happen now because he and his supporters tend to be real sore losers. |

GRAND ISLAND -- The effort by Ron Paul supporters to gain control of Nebraska's delegation to the Republican national convention was squashed Saturday in a rout that left Paul with only two pledged delegates in the state's 35-member contingent.
The outcome of delegate selection balloting at the Republican state convention represented a big victory for Gov. Dave Heineman, who worked actively behind the scenes to personally contact Nebraska Republicans who made the delegate selections. Heineman was the first governor to endorse Mitt Romney at the advent of the GOP presidential primary and caucus process, and his ability to deliver Romney delegates from his home state -- as well as his leadership of the state party -- were on the line. If Paul supporters had won control of Nebraska's national convention delegation, that would have given them the fifth state required to place the Texas congressman's name in nomination when the GOP meets in Tampa next month to formally name Romney as its presidential nominee. Paul's nomination would have given him an opportunity to spotlight his libertarian views along with some leverage to try to influence the party's platform and priorities. National representatives of the Romney campaign came to Grand Island to keep watch over Saturday's proceedings. After the Paul effort had been squelched, GOP State Chairman Mark Fahleson complimented leaders of the Republican Liberty Caucus for "their professionalism (in) helping make sure the state convention was conducted the Nebraska way." Once Paul supporters lost two early test votes challenging rules and the seating of some delegates, they accepted the outcome rather than attempting to derail the proceedings with the kind of endless parliamentary maneuvers and outbursts that characterized some other state party conventions. National Committeeman Pete Ricketts said his message to the Liberty Caucus is "the Republican Party needs you (and) welcomes folks who come in to make us a stronger party." Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl headed the list of speakers at the convention, arguing for the need to defeat President Barack Obama in November. But all the speeches served as a prelude to the late-afternoon appearance of Republican Senate nominee Deb Fischer, who held top billing at the convention, staged at the picturesque Riverside Country Club. "Nebraskans want a senator who's going to represent Nebraska," Fischer told the gathering of more than 500 Republicans. "Bob Kerrey and Ben Nelson had their chances. It's time for someone new and someone different." If she's elected, Fischer said, "the very same Senate seat that gave us Obamacare will become the Senate seat that repeals it." Nelson cast the deciding vote that cleared the path for Senate passage of the health care reform law. When Democrats call her "a welfare rancher (for holding) a federal livestock grazing lease," Fischer said, they're saying "farm programs and conservation programs are welfare. Really?" Jindal, a Romney surrogate and potential vice presidential choice, said Obama wages class warfare, "managing the slow decline of this country (and) demonizing those who have been successful." Sen. Mike Johanns told the convention that Obama "snubs his nose at the Constitution" and Kerrey is a Senate candidate "whose time has passed." The president has exhibited "a reckless disregard for the limits of government," Johanns said. In other action, the convention elected former GOP State Chairman David Kramer of Omaha as the party's new national committeeman succeeding Ricketts, who did not seek re-election. Joyce Simmons of Valentine was elected national committeewoman, succeeding De Carlson, who also chose to step down. Paul supporters won their two national convention delegate slots in the 2nd Congressional District after controlling early county conventions in Douglas and Sarpy counties. Romney won the other seven delegate seats decided by congressional district, and a Romney slate of 23 at-large delegate candidates was elected en masse. The three remaining seats in the delegation go to a trio of state party leaders, all of whom will vote for Romney.
