[Atlas Has Shrugged]

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

The West Virginians are wearing miner hats?

[Phony Moderate]

lol Huntsman and Bachmann too.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Was that lady supposed to be only repeating the vote number for the winner, or just pretending she didn't hear anyone else winning delegates?

[Phony Moderate]

Walker isn't very warm, is he?

[Reluctant Republican]

Was that lady supposed to be only repeating the vote number for the winner, or just pretending she didn't hear anyone else winning delegates?

CNN said this was the first time at any convention that the votes for all of the other candidates were not counted. She didn't even count the votes in states where Paul won the majority.

[Tidus]

So why does the chairwoman always repeat the number of delegates for Romney but not the number of delegates for Paul???

Even if Paul won the majority of delegates in a state she only repeats the Romney numbers.

[Bacon King]

Now that Wyoming is done, final tally:

2061 Mitt Romney
190 Ron Paul
9 Rick Santorum
1 Buddy Roemer
1 Jon Huntsman
1 Michelle Bachmann
13 "abstain"
1 "uncommitted"
1 "undecided"

Was that lady supposed to be only repeating the vote number for the winner, or just pretending she didn't hear anyone else winning delegates?

She's only supposed to count candidates who were officially nominated and seconded. That was only Mittens; Ron Paul didn't have a majority from enough states to get nominated by someone.

[Reluctant Republican]

Really? Shout was the best song they could come up with?

I can see the crowd's exploding with excitement, too.

[Supersonic]

"Shout, put your hands up!".

lol.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Who else saw the woman with the Confederate hat holding a caped elephant?

[Bacon King]

Really? Shout was the best song they could come up with?

I can see the crowd's exploding with excitement, too.

I'm thinking it was probably picked to mask any riot the Paultards could have potentially made at the official declaration from the chair.

[Peeperkorn]

Why did the nice and kind woman only count votes for the friendly and jovial Mitt Romney? Does she want to dominate a planet as mormen says^{[citation needed?]}?

They are asking for a Paulites' reloveution.

[Comrade Funk]

LOL. Such an awkward crowd. At least they didn't pick a country song.

[Peeperkorn]

Stadium was empty.

Guess that a Romney candidature isn't very fun.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I saw two black people from the MS delegation (I'm pretty sure it was MS). Any others?
