* “Somewhere, hidden from all of us, are panicked Establishment Republicans.” *

" Right on the money. This has their finger prints all over it. If they can get enough of the Thurston Howell/Karl Rove votes before the southern primaries, they and the complicit media can declare Mittens the winner before it begins. I never thought I would see the day when the party I’ve been loyal to, held my nose and voted for, would stoop to the level of Democrats. Not to mention the all out assault they have waged on FR the last couple of weeks.
Aside from abortion, taxes, and immigration have been the driving positions we wanted from a candidate, and the only candidate even addressing these issues in this election is being attacked, not by others with better ideas, but by people arguing that we shouldn’t do anything about them. For me that certainly exposes their agenda. It’s no wonder we got McLame last time. "

" I have a serious question. I was going to write a vanity post about it, but I figured I’d get flamed because I’m sure it’s been brought up before, but here goes: If the Republican establishment sabotages us bad enough, and the Democrats wreak enough havoc on our primary process to give us Mitens against the popular will of the Conservative voters, can the delegates walk into the convention and change the presumed nominee. Isn’t it the delegates vote that counts in the end? It would be great fun watching liberal heads explode right there on live TV. "

The Repuklican estab ( as in a stab in your back ) lishment are doing the same thing with Rove to Herman Cain as they trashed Christine O'Donnell. where ? she won the primary in Delaware and had to shut her down when she became a threat to them, so the same as what they are doing to Herman Cain.
Now that it looks that Herman Cain could be the one who could possible to win the nomination, they have to shut him down with lies and attacks.

When one gets into the guts of delegate selection for the GOP convention, over 500 delegates are party officials or elected officals like Senators and such. They are locked into unelected slots from their respective states.

Heck, 90 percent of them must be Romney supporters so he starts the whole process with a big jump.

The GOP (Republican National Committee) has decreed that early contests are proportional in delegate allocation and is allowing later contests in places like Connecticut and New York (RINOland) to be winner take all.

I don’t have a link handy, but search “Green Papers” and you will find a site that details the process in each party for primaries, cacucuses and delegate selection etc.
