How many times are you planning to ask this?

He got 1.2 million votes in the Republican primaries, including huge chunks of the mountain west and coming in second in Las Vegas where he would have had a majority of delegates had the GOP not turned off the light and fled at the state convention when the delegate votes were all going Ron Paul's way. (Google it.) As is, he had the second number of votes of all candidates at the GOP convention.... oh... and held his own, FULLY PAID FOR convention, for a similar number of people as attended the GOP's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfKSXcme6...

States don't count write in votes, most of them, unless you are registered and he wasn't running. His SUPPORTERS registered him or got him on the ballot in Ca Montana and Louisiana, where the candidate didn't have to agree to be registered, but by then he had made it clear he wasn't running. If you look at the CA votes, even they didn't count them individually to him in all counties, despite the law.
