I think it's because they'd be less likely to commit fraud and because they know what it feels like to be the direct victims of imperialism.

Romney got more delegates because that's who the Republican Party felt like giving them to.If your implication is that Ron Paul would have won actual U.S. states without "fraud," you're wrong. He is exactly as relevant as a candidate as the US Virgin Islands are to the overall electoral process. More critically, the entire premise of your thread is wrong - Romney won the Virgin Islands, not Ron Paul, and it wasn't close. Romney picked up seven delegates to Paul's one.
Dr. Paul single handedly stopped the time change in Arizona.

This country is fucked because the ruling class will break their own rules when their rules don't fit them and everyone else has to suffer.

Is there proof of this?
Chairman Gibbs brought the meeting to order by asking for any Santorum supporters to please raise their hands. A handful of people raised their hands. Then he asked for Gingrich. He got 2 handfuls. When he asked for Romney, his people clustered near the front of the main room raised their hands with a great cheer.
When he asked for Ron Paul what looked like about 2/3rds of the crowd of over 2,600 delegates leaped to their feet as one and unleashed a thunderous ovation that lasted for 30 seconds. It was absolutely electrifying.
Things settled down and we got down to business. We were allowed to self nominate ourselves as delegates to the state convention. Clark County which is BY FAR the most populated county in the state is allowed 1900 delegates. As only a little over 1,200 volunteered, all who signed up were confirmed as delegates. I do not have any exact numbers, but I can tell you we are likely to have an even larger majority at state than we did here. And this was DECISIVE.
..
But the best part was filling the 14 seats on the Clark County Republican Party Executive Board. These are the people who set local policy. Each of the candidates was given only 30 seconds to speak.
Are you ready for this?
ALL 14 SEATS WERE WON BY RON PAUL DELEGATES! A total sweep!
When the results were announced a Ron Paul cheer went up and if the Romney people were balloons you would have heard the air draining out of every one of them with a big, sad whoosh.
And this is the exact thinking that is allowing this to happen.
They only talk about delegates when it suits Romney. How about how Ron Paul won EVERY delegate in Clark County? How about him winning EVERY delegate in Denver? I could go on and on about counties where Paul is winning more, if not all the delegates.
I've been working then numbers out as I see them, and up until now - the MSM has been dividing out delegates based on % of popular vote won. Which obviously, it doesn't work that way.
We will see when it gets to the national level. I'll enjoy all the confused faces when Paul turns out to have many many more delegates than the media likes to mention.

Not official yet - but MSM doesn't care about that very much, they love posting unofficial numbers of Romneys delegate count.
NY Times even had the nerve to post Romney at #1 spot, completely contradicting the official VI GOP site.
Delegates vs votes. Very big difference. Look up electoral college for understanding.
Marked for crow.
My thoughts are that you keep pulling at very small straws in an effort to try and figure out why your candidate isn't popular with most people. If this 'election fraud/voter fraud' crap had any real merit someone somewhere would actually report on it, and not those crazy one sided websites so blinded in their lustful love of this cooky old man they can't see reality.
I heard he spent 12 hours chanting by the ocean and literally changed the direction of the tide!
I hate to break it to you but Romney won in VI.

I don't condemn you for having your own candidate choice, but I would hope we all would agree everyone deserves an equal opportunity without manipulation. It's sad, most Paul supporters would get very angry if they did this to anyone, Romney, Santorum, Gingritch. Yet it happens to Paul and the rest of you turn your back.
