Incredible developments have emerged spelling out how Romney may not have actually taken the nomination, after all. Even with news circulating like wildfire that Romney secured the Republican nomination with an alleged win in Tuesday's Texas Primary, it seems as though this may not actually be the case. Ironically enough, Romney still may not have even taken Texas, yet. After a careful comb through the numbers, how the race is playing out and what delegate totals are emerging from the states, it seems as though Romney currently has only around half of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination. So, why is the 'national' media acting this way? Are they incorrectly still using the 'estimated' delegate totals, based on the initial caucuses and primaries from each state, while ignoring the actual delegate totals emerging as the states finally begin to conclude their weeks-long delegate selection processes? Advertisement Every 4 years the GOP does the exact same nomination process and all 50 states play their roll in that process. Some states conclude rather quickly, some rather slowly. Most of the states, however, have some sort of post-caucus/primary delegate selection process that can take, up to, a couple months to complete. This virtually renders the ultimate outcome unattainable until the vast majority of the states have fully concluded their delegate selection process. Until then, it is virtually impossible to know exactly what each candidate has, in terms of delegate totals. It is, however, possible to keep track of how the candidates are doing and how many delegates they are likely winning as the states progress in their delegate selection process.
Snip
a tally of the actual delegate totals emerging from each state, Romney has around 600 delegates, Paul around 200.

RUE PAUL!!!!!!!
Paultard wishful thinking.
Fairly delusional.
Oh of course, the Paulites. They who proclaim “Ron Paul leads every single state and nationwide poll and has won every single state primary thus far. The truth is just being hidden”. Makes me laugh every single time.

But Herman Cain has 9 9 9
Ron Paul uses Louis Farrakhan’s million man math.
I confess to not knowing a lot about how these things are finally determined, but it’s interesting to contemplate to say the least. A lot of us did not vote for the presidential slot on our ballots.............
WHAT THE WHAT?
No kidding Romney didn’t win the nomination.... It hasn’t happened yet
That won’t happen until August in Tampa ...at the convention
Is there a full moon tonite..........
The truth is:
Romney will be the Republican challenging Obama in October.
Gingrich won’t.
Santorum won’t.
Paul won’t.
Bachmann won’t.
Perry won’t.
Per realclearpolitics.com, Romney has accumulated 1169 (1144 needed) and several hundred delegates are still awaiting future primaries.
Romney got it. Barring a direct hit lightning strike, he will be giving the acceptance speech at the GOP Convention.
I dunno...they say Sarah Palin still has a chance.
Romney has 1,012 delegates bound by law to vote for him on the first round. There are 150+ GOP-E floating delegates that will also vote for him. Though it is mathematically not clinched, there is no other outcome possible. The rules were stacked and voted on four years back (some further back than that.)
I know he didn’t “win” in Michigan.
Newt got two votes from this household. It came down to anyone but Mitt.
BUMP!
That is why I am voting for Newt next Tuesday in kommieforina!
Libertarians may say otherwise but they know in their hearts that Ron Paul will never be president.
