McCain is not mathematically assured of the GOP nomination!
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/37727
Delegates!!! McCain is not a lock for the nominee.....here is the math.... Please repost this!!
Posted February 13th, 2008 by GiveMeLiberty
Some are it again on this site, saying that McCain will be the nominee.....
I wish you people understood the delegate process and stop folding like a house of cards.....if that were the case, don't you think RP would have quit by now?
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, RP has very high delegate counts even though he hasn't won a single primary. How? Well people just simply apply. More of RP supporters are willing to become delegates than McCaine supporters.....Ask some here that have become RP delegates.
The primaries and caucases are nothing more than window dressing. Delegates are not chosen the day of the primary/caucas.
The only thing the primaries/caucases do is 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.
http://www.thegreenpapers...
Now lets 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
pennsylvannia - 74 UNBOUND
oregon - 27 bound and 3 unbound
puerto rico - 20 bound and 3 unbound
north carolina - 69 bound
indianna - 27 bound and 30 UNBOUND
kentucky - 45 bound
mississippi - 36 bound and 3 unbound
RI - 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, miss, and SD.......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

Presidential Candidate of Your Choice Ready?
The next few posts will be copied from Myspace - many of them are articles with my opinion stuck at the bottom.
Is the Presidential Candidate of Your Choice Ready to Save a Sinking Ship?
For full article, go to http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi81.html
You are a woman, maybe a feminist. This election a woman is running for President. You feel it's your gender's turn.
You are an ethnic or racial minority and a man with dark skin is running for President. You feel it's about time.
You are a negative voter. You vote against candidates you abhor, like Hillary, more than you vote for a candidate's platform. So you settle for the candidate of the opposing major party.
You are a patriotic American, you don't want cutbacks in military spending, and you want a "kick ass" President who will show the world America is boss. You vote for the ex-military man, McCain.
You are, like most Americans, reading about the new billionaires who founded Google, or you read about the tax breaks the rich are getting. When Democratic Party candidates say they will tax the rich to fund universal health care, you buy into the idea. It's only fair.
You are never informed the "rich," the top 25 or 30 percent of wage earners, already pay most of the government's bills, about 70% of taxes. The recent tax rebate, to stimulate the economy, was a government giveaway to many people who paid little or no taxes. The people who paid most of the taxes got no rebate.
You are a Christian. You want a President that breathes the rhetoric of God. You want a President who will continue to pursue the Islamist fascists, spawned by "towel head" Muslims whose competing religion is spreading fast. Your vote goes to Huckabee.
You are among the one-third of American homeowners who refinanced their homes as values rose, pulling $1 trillion out of equity that temporarily catapulted the economy, but you now face a variable interest rate mortgage that is about to rise. Or you bought a home with no down payment and now you face foreclosure. You're not sure which Presidential candidate addresses your plight. Nor are you assured it won't happen again.
You receive a tax refund this year, and you've got a bit more money to pay off your credit cards, till 2009, when yet another slowdown in consumer spending will occur, predictably right after the November election. The loans most likely to go into foreclosure have been frozen so everything will appear normal for the election.
Suddenly you realize, the war in Iraq, which was so overwhelmingly opposed, has now, somehow, been relegated to a side issue in the Presidential election. Military deaths in Iraq have suddenly declined. There are fewer roadside bombings, as if orchestrated on cue. Only one remaining candidate claims he will withdraw troops and put a halt to the growing and perpetual war-based economy. This fact escapes your attention. Your attention has been drawn away from the war and towards issues like universal health care.
Whom will voters choose?
The politically correct voter will opt for Hillary or Obama.
The negative voter will vote against Hillary.
The lower income voters, the masses, will likely fall for the carrot at the end of the stick and vote to tax the rich in hopes for universal health care. (A mandated health care plan in Massachusetts is already in financial trouble and a California plan had to be tabled when it became clear it could not be launched at a time when the economy is souring.)
The ship of state is sinking
Are any of these candidates prepared to correct course and keep the ship of state from sinking? Sinking? Yes, the greatest success story in economic history is about to capsize and drag the rest of the world into a watery grave with it.
Most voters really haven't a clue what is really happening to America. You are being swayed by an orchestrated campaign by the news media that you cannot fathom. The TV networks want to create an image that everything is OK, so consumers will keep buying goods and services from the sponsors of the TV programs. The national brain-washing machine, the TV set, is how this consumer propaganda is communicated. Living beyond one's means has become the norm in America.
America can be likened to a cruise ship that is taking on water faster than it can be bailed out. If the issue in your mind is whether the ship's captain is female, or black, or is willing to offer more free services while on your cruise, or wants to mount more machine guns on the deck to deter terrorists, you are completely distracted from the imminent crisis that confronts America.
The ship's captain may continue to issue assurances from the helm, but not only is the boat taking on water, it is headed for an iceberg! The news media is akin to the public address system on the ship. Keep the people distracted from the real danger that lies ahead. No sense panicking the customers.
For rest of story, go to http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi81.html
My personal take: Go Ron Paul! He may not win, but he can sure teach us a thing or too! Wake up, Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing catch-up
I'm fairly sure I have no regular readers at this point, since there isn't anything to read regularly. I have become a myspace and facebook addict, and have been blogging on myspace fairly regularly in the past couple of months. So my plan is to copy those blogs over here in a few parts, then to keep them in sync from here on out. We'll see how that goes!
To fill in the gap, from last July until my myspace blogging began, here is my story.
We worked hard to get the house done before winter set in. I cleaned and shopped for furniture. I pulled up carpet staples and put primer on the walls in the new home. We bought a shop vac and I used it - several times. I picked out flooring and carpet, and that was installed by professionals, thank goodness. Anyone who has ever built a home most likely knows what we went through, but at long last it was done. We moved the last week of Sept, 07 - and promptly saw a bobcat through the window.
Since the bobcat, I have seen one wolf, and several lobster-sized crawdads/crayfish, turkey and deer. My house-cat, Cookie, disappeared a few days after we moved in, so I regretted moving her outside. My dog, Buster disappeared mid-December and we got 2 puppies in January. My horse enjoys it out here, and the barn cat is doing fine. I still miss Buster - he was the best dog in the world. The puppies need a lot of work, but I'll get them trained before they weight much more than my son, hopefully.
Hubby finished his year as Lions governor, and has been able to spend more time at home, which has been nice. I went back to doing marketing and retail for our business full-time, but am missing my own marketing business.
I have kept up with playing handbells, and sing in the choir on occasion. I have done a decent job of coordinating the MOPS group at our church, and have helped start a Teen MOPS group as well. I am volunteering some hours at a local home for pregnant teens, and have created their website and set up the computers on-site. My son turned 3 and started half-day preschool in January, so we have afternoons together at home. So, yes I'm still busy, but with different things!
I'm enjoying the schedule I'm keeping now, which allows me to focus on work in the morning, and finish up my work during DS's naptime. I am able to eat most of my meals at home and avoid the cost and health hazards of eating out. I'm cooking more. I'm trying to keep my house out of CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) by using the Flylady's methods (www.flylady.net) - but am barely fluttering right now.
We got an iPod and I love it! I listen to podcasts, DS watches his shows on the road, and I've got all my and DH's music in one place. AND all my photos for the past year or so.
One last development in the past few months is our interest in politics. We have always been apathetic or angry, but never overly interested in the political process, even when hubby ran for city council a while back. However, we got on the Ron Paul 2008 bandwagon, and I have learned LOADS about how this country works, how it was meant to work, and ways we may fix the problems.

More rigid schedule arrives
Vacation was nice, and very needed. I read a book - almost 900 pages - that I got for Christmas last year. I'm ready for the final Harry Potter now! Yes, I'm one of those who pre-ordered it, but not excited enough to go to a release party at midnight.
We visited the Sears Tower and the Magnificent Mile while in Chicago, and of course ate some pizza. In Columbus, Ohio, we enjoyed not having a retail booth this year, and focused on having fun and relationship building, in addition to our business sponsoring the poker events. Attendance was a bit low this year due to less promotion on our part, but it ran smoothly, thanks to my bro-in-law, our resident poker guru.
It took a few days to get back on top of things once we returned home, but we are in a new routine now. I have taken on more hours at the store to try and help turn things aroun.
The dirt-moving is finished at our new home site, but no grass is growing yet. I am still waiting on heat/air to be installed, and the sanding on the walls to be completed before doing the painting myself. I think we're still on target for moving in last August or September. I hope.

Vacation!!!
I am taking a semi-vacation this week, which happens to coincide with my 30th birthday, which happens to fall on Independance Day for the U.S.A. Its just not my birthday without BBQ and fireworks; watermelon and cake don't hurt either!
We are in Chicago this week, hanging out with the Lions Club International Convention attendees, including the other outgoing District Governors, and the incoming Governor Elects. The torch passes tomorrow night and hubby says his time will free up considerably when the governorship passes to the next man for our district in Kentucky. We'll enjoy some of the Lions activities and are touring some warehouses for others in the game industry while we are here. Hubby is chatting about game industry things at this very moment.
I should schedule some time to work on my home business this week, but a break sure is nice!
