Ron Paul Campaign: No National Delegates Won in Florida Yet Regardless of what the MSM is reporting, no national delegates have been won in Florida yet.by Heather Saarela

Scanning the Florida primary news this morning, you will see "McCain Narrowly Beat Romney" or "McCain Won Florida."
This is blatant propaganda because there have been no national delegates won in Florida yet. From my understanding, delegates will be awarded between February 6 and April 30 at delegate selection caucuses.
Even the Ron Paul Campaign stated this fact. Please see their recent press release on the main page: [link edited for length].
Guess what you are not hearing from the MSM? Many of those delegates will be supporting Ron Paul.
I really hope people are paying attention as to what is factual and what is not in each of these state primaries. It is imperative that we do not take the MSM at their word and reject their fallacies when we see them.
If you happen to read one of these faux news articles about the Florida primary, please inform the writer of the facts and tell them:
No national delegates have been won in Florida yet!

How do you know what "many" of those delegates will do, and whether they will endorse Ron Paul? Oh, wait. You don't. You're simply repeating what his page claims.
People are going to believe what they see. We haven't seen anything out of Ron Paul except he's not in first or second place. Neocons are going to support McCain, and Evangelicals are going to support Huckabee, and if he drops they'll split. SOME will support McCain, some Romney. Some may very well support Ron Paul. The reality, though, is that it's either going to be McCain or Romney.
If this sort of unrealistic thinking makes you feel better, go for it! If I were you, though, I'd spend more time in trying to convince people and get local, state, or federal positiions.

The point is that the MSM skews the facts. The fact is that it is all about the delegates and they havent been committed yet. Oh dont we have a brokered convention coming up?
OBTW we (Paulunteers) have 2nd place finishes. Dr. Paul has beaten ALL The candidates at one time or another in this race. So why count him out? He is in fourth place out of the original 11. What about Rudy? How about Fred? Aw Shucksabee is broke and begging for a VP slot. Both Mike and Rudy are competing for McCains nod, to the point of needing knee pads. The next few months are sure to be interesting.
