I remember in 1988, when "The Moral Majority" folks and the Pat Robertson supporters gave the Establishment Republicans holy heck in States like Michigan. I love it when the long-time Party operatives, who think their positions are assigned by divine decree, have to sit on the sidelines and watch new activists, from outside the Establishment, run the show.

I wonder if this will kill any hope of a political future for Joe Miller in Alaska.

Mitt Romney may be the presumptive GOP nominee
I see this a lot, especially with regards to the GOP.
Shouldn't the correct word be "presumed GOP nominee". It seems to me "presumptive GOP nominee" implies that he is unjustifiably self-presuming the nomination, rather than that everyone else is presuming he will be the nominee.

Paul and his supporters are spitting in the wind. Romney and the “Republican Establishment” will control the convention just like they have controlled the entire primary process up to now and guaranteed no other candidate stood a chance. Paul chance of staging a successful coup at the convention is about as likely as a outside candidate staging a coup in the old Soviet Union, that is to say impossible...

Many state GOP establishment figures, including longtime state Republican National Committee member Ron Kaufman, wont be going to Tampa in August as official delegates.

Who is left standing? Romney, or Paul...
This Is not a difficult choice to make.
Pro- abortion or pro- life?
Pro- bigger government or pro-Constitution?
If Willard wins the GOP nod, Obama wins re-election.

In Alaska where Mr. Paul came in third in the primary his supporters organized to elect two Paul loyalists as chairman and co-chairman of the state party, beating out candidates backed by the Alaska GOP establishment.

again more Romney Loyalists who get to stay home and watch it on TV...
You have to give Ron Paul his due...
He must have some people with good organizational skills...
Even Willard with all his deep pockets couldnt buy that kind of maneuver...
Willie Mitty could have been beaten or at least had less votes delegates etc..
Too much caution and fear...

Paul, is doing more with less than any modern presidential campaign in recent memory, said Doug Wead, a Paul campaign adviser. For those of you who don't know Wead's history, he was one of the big shots in Amway back in the late '70s and 80's.

Rather than say much, I'll just post a link and a quote from the "about" page of the folks that are now half the delegation here...
Massachusetts Blue Republicans
"We are Democrats and Independents. We are registering Republican for this election season to nominate Ron Paul. With our numbers, we can join the "Ron Paul rEVOLution", win the delegate positions to the Republican National Convention and absolutely ensure that Ron Paul becomes the nominee, and then, the President."

Maybe he is attempting to force Mitt to pick his son for the VP slot. It would not be a bad move if it happened. Imagine the voice Paul will have in Tampa if he is able to hijack 20% to 40% of Romney’s delegates.
If only Newt had been half as organized as Paul was before he decided to run. Then maybe we would be discussing a Gingrich vs the Muslim in Chief race instead.
Just my 2cents, for what it’s worth.....

In Wisconsin, we have a handful of Paul delegates who insinuated themselves into the caucus and will be going to Tampa, provided they can raise the money from others.
