“...and she said that people forget Ron Paul has quite a few delegates that will NEVER go for Romney and this may swing toward keeping him out. Getting Ron Paul more delegates may be the best way to keep this goofball from the nomination and also a way to let the GOP know Americans want more than Obamney. It’s an interesting idea....”

I’m a Paul supporter. One of the few who openly posts FR these days it seems. And I’ll tell you what I think: I think that they’ll make a deal. Keep in mind that most ideologues are as willing as anyone else to make a deal. It’s just that their price is a lot higher.

I think that supporting Ron Paul makes sense from the strategic perspective of getting a whole heck of a lot more out of any deal if and when one is made. They aren’t going to sell out their base for 30 pieces of silver.

I am in NV and watching the local count here. We are not a 'winner take all' state so the delgates will be divided up amongst the candidates. I am not a registered 'R' so I cannot vote in the caucus/primary. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Independents and Libertarians here who dont get their say because they wont be forced into registering as an 'R'.

There is talk a lot that people did not even show up to this caucus in NV because of the utter nightmare in 2008.... with the horrible unorganized situation, people waiting around for hours for instruction on what they were supposed to do etc.

Word is too that the Orthodox Jews and the Seventh Day Adventists are holding their caucus right now at the Addleson Center in LV. Since its their sabbath, the caucus decided to let them hold it later in the day.

Just in - Washoe County -

Obamney 42%

Gingrich 28%

Paul 17%

Santorum 9%
