“I’m actually wishing Ron Paul some luck in Virginia”
_______________

Many of us in here VA will be voting for Paul in the PRIMARY (NOT the General Election!!!) for the express purpose of denying Romney any delegates. For those who somehow have missed it the GOP-E here in VA, spear-headed by Gov McDonnell, has gerrymandered the GOP Primary so that( ONLY ROMNEY'S and PAUL’s NAMES APPEAR ON THE PRIMARY BALLOT ...and “NO WRITE-INS” ARE ALLOWED!!! In essence, we are disenfranchised.)

There was a thread addressing this on FR yesterday attempting to explain our strategy to Conservatives who didn't understand that to stay home and not vote on primary day = a de facto Romney “landslide.” Before that thread could get past the first 50 posts the admin moderator “pulled it.” The reason given: “No Ron Paul.”

Please understand; I have no use at all for Ron Paul; but, in this specific case in VA; “No Ron Paul” = “All Votes for Romney” and a “landslide” victory that will give all the delegates in VA to Mitt.

I have no wish to contradict whatever guidelines/policies Jim wants to enforce via his moderators; this is his site and I fully respect and support that. I would; however, urge the admin moderator(s) to look intelligently at what we are proposing; and, if necessary, discuss this w/Jim.

This is a VERY unique and unusual situation in VA and it needs to be looked at strategically; not dismissed with a perfunctory “one rule fits all; No Ron Paul” approach that is, frankly, as LTG Honore’ loved to opine; “Stuck on stupid.”

If anyone has a better strategy to combat the VA GOP’s “Romney Only” Pseudo-Primary debacle; please share whatever ideas you may have w/all of us highly frustrated VA Conservatives!!!

V/r,

You make a good case. Never thought I’d say vote for Ron Paul but in Virginia I say go for it. Anything to stop Romney.

Jim should look into that "pulling" since the ONLY candidate who would actually benefit in Virginia would be Romney, and I haven't seen anyone tell us that it's OK to do and say things that support Romney's candidacy.

Hmm.

Very suspicious!

Absolutely, there has to be a temporary alliance with Ron Paul in VA. Just like working with the Soviets to defeat the Nazis. The average Virginian needs to feel the shock and awe of armies of Ron Paulinistas marching through the streets on election day to deny Mitt the win. Nothing could hurt Mitt’s momentum more, NOTHING, than losing to Ron Paul in Virginia.
