The MSM is reporting a delegate count for Robme of over 800.....

One problem with that..... RP is winning the delgate slots in most of the states OUTNUMBERING the delegates Robme received by popular vote, and ALSO winning the chair, and vice-chair positions, and gaining control over the state GOP parties (not national party.....yet). That means they have the power to change the "rules" as the Robme GOP has done in several states!

With RP supporters controlling the GOP party in most states.....

They (the Robme GOP elites) can "fix" the straw poll elections, but they can't fix the state caucus vote (which is open in most cases).....tho they are trying!

Robme is all about the banker money and fundraising, NOT voter support, so he has none at the caucuses other than a few "elite" gop members! He is buying votes (via the MSM coverage and ads), not energizing supporters as his rally crowds show!

HE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO FILL THE VENUES HE SPEAKS AT, WHILE RON PAUL IS FILLING STADIUMS! The straw polls are rigged, but the caucuses are harder to control! They require ACTUAL voters to attend and participate!

I think the big question is where do the delegates that supported candidates that dropped out go? What Paul needs to do is just keep Romney from getting the 1100 or so he needs to guarantee a nomination. That alone would be a victory.

Yes! RP detractors seem to think that the measure of success is 'getting into the white house'.

Given the way the two party system works, it seems that is almost impossible for anyone who isn't big into shilling for corporate interests.

The more momentum that RP builds around his campaign, the more positive change we may see elsewhere. As someone pointed out earlier, getting more libertarian minded representatives in congress could hold greater promise than getting a libertarian president.

And RPs base is quite young. We may see good things happening in the next decade.

This is what "winning" looks like?

You can't help but notice that the press corp outnumbers the attendees..... rofl

I always thought it looked more like this....

Really? I could get pictures of an event Ron Paul had here in Carson City, Nevada at Comma Coffee where only 5 people showed up after non stop emails from the 5 different Republican Parties in the area for weeks leading up to it, phone banks and online postings.

I can also find pictures of the last time Romney, Santorum and even Gingrich was here in Nevada and they had hundreds maybe even thousands of people at each of their events. Ron Paul represents a SMALL fringe section of politics and thank God he is done with Congress also after he gets his a$$ handed to him in this Presidential race! :banana:

They generally goto the candidate who their nominee endorses.

That's the point!

Even the delegates "committed" to Robme are RP supporters!

Under rule 38 of the National (not state) GOP laws, delegates ARE NOT BOUND by state convention rules at the National debate in Tampa!

Should the rules be altered by the GOP elite, there is still the option to "abstain" causing a 2nd vote where they are unbound


I don't think it will happen (because I think a lot of politicians are corrupt) but I would love to see it happen. I would love nothing more than RP to get nominated. I think you might even get record poll numbers if he was.


Your right it wont happen and if for some reason it did you will see the Barry when re-election in the biggest landslide in the history of politics.

Yup, Ron Paul is sure filling places up. A whopping 5 people showed up to a heavily advertised event at Conna Coffee. rofl

There are only three groups of people who support Ron Paul. The uneducated, the drug addicts(since he wants to legalize drugs) and the looney pansy hippie cowards.

Got to disagree with you there. What about all the people that just want a smaller federal government? The fed has grown too big, too expensive, does too many things, and doesn't do them effectively.

Ben Swann Reality Check Half Hour Special- Delegates

Remember if you will..... RP WON all 3 state caucuses held this last weekend, including the chair and vice-chair, and many other state GOP positions, essentually taking over the state GOP parties, removing the old elite guards who have controlled them for years! .... including Alaska! bigsmile

Robme's 670 delegates.....is now even less

So everyone who supports RP falls into one of those three categories? I support Ron Paul, which category do I fall in? Your argument is one of someone who has been backed into a corner.

You're just upset bro' it comes down to this; no I don't agree with RP on all issues, but I do agree with MANY of things he says. He correctly predicted lots of things that were going to happen to this nation. You seem to forget that.

All the other candidates are weak establishment serving puppets. Don't you want change? With Mittens it will be no different than what we have now. Are or you satisfied with being an unquestioning follower?

Even the Business Insider is changing their tune....not supporting... just back peddling from previous statements....trying to save face one might think....

Even they admit Robme's "delegates" are not his, even tho he may get 1,144 awarded.... RP will still be on the ballot in Tampa....

This will be a very interesting convention this year!

Honestly all the Republican candidates in this Presidential election want a smaller federal government.

LOL! You mistake honesty for naivety. Pay no attention to the banker behind the curtain! Don't believe the hype! If that were true, the big bankers, etc. wouldn't have them (Obama, Romney, etc.) in their back pocket because shrinking the government is not their agenda.

Ron Paul seems to be doing very well among the educated.

Many non-drug users realize that criminalization has nothing to do with their own abstinence from drugs, and also see that its not stopping others from doing drugs. I've tried several illegal drugs only once, and I generally abstain from caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol though they are legal. Criminality has almost nothing to do with those decisions.

The last group sounds like a category into which you can simply put anyone who disagrees with you.
