So I saw this article and thought...what gives...I never gave this RP guy a chance and wrote him off on day one and here he is still standing. Weird...Then I went over to see where he was based on Polls....this was VERY surprising to me...

Obama vs RonPaul

Rasmussen Reports____4/28 - 4/29____1000 LV____42____40____Obama +2

PPP (D)______________4/12 - 4/15____ 900 RV____47____44____Obama +3

I am now thinking of using my vote here in Texas for the primary on Ron Paul...it was Newt's but he dropped...maybe send the establishment a little message that I am not happy with the way the GOP nomination process works and how drawn out it is so that only a controllable few select the candidate and the majority of states have no say.

maybe send the establishment a little message

Throwing away your vote to "send a message" is like
using harsh language to "send a message" to stop a rapist.

I hope it makes you feel better but you really accomplish nothing.

Although in the Texas primary.. we've already been disenfranchised so it really doesn't matter.

Thanks for the article, it’s certainly interesting!

So Paulbot are going to circumvent the popular vote to “take over” the states.
If Paul can’t make it in the primaries with actual votes, why on earth do his supporters think he could beat BHO.
Why would conservatives vote for a liberal libertarian, who can’t even win his party’s nomination.
Why doesn’t Paul go home and play his grand-kids?

won the Louisiana caucuses...

I don't know about the other States, but this one may be short lived. Their supporters were caught passing out fraudulent voter guides in Louisiana that had the wrong supporters listed in the wrong slates. They actually had Romney and Newt listed on Paul's slates so people who thought they were voting for either of them were actually voting for Paul's slate. From what I understand, the State party is looking into this and may throw out some of Paul's slate.

Send a message to the establishment by voting for a 30+ year career politician who is as much of a RINO (especially on Article 1, Section 9 issues) as Romney? LOL

Do it!~

If Romney fails to garner the necessary 1,144 delegates prior to the Tampa convention, and fails to win the nomination on the first ballot, then all hell breaks loose.

After the first ballot, delegates are then allowed (IIRC) to support anybody they want. Fun times, no doubt.

Romney certainly seems to have a clear path to the nomination, now that Newt and Santorum have rolled, but it isn’t a done deal yet. Yet.

Should the convention open up to second-round balloting (and more) then it would make perfect sense for Ron Paul to have “boots on the ground” when the horse-trading begins.

November still seems to be a long way off.
