Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***
[ QUOTE ]
I think this has been briefly mentioned in this thread, but what's with the campaign always sending out e-mails for delegates? Are they planning on flooding every state with Paul-supporting delegates and then voting for Paul no matter what? I don't understand how it works - is it like the electoral college?

Every candidate needs delegates. Without delegates, it doesn't matter if you win the primary, you have to have delegates who will go to the national convention to vote for your candidate, and those delegates are awarded to each candidate from a pre-existing pool for each candidate by the states after their primary. So if Paul had no delegates, he cannot win the nomination.
Every Paul supporter should be looking into becoming a delegate.
