Ron Paul Supporters Focus on State Delegations

[An American!]

Undaunted by a GOP primary that is effectively over, Rep. Ron Paul’s supporters are now working to take over state Republican parties and delegations to the Republican National Convention this summer.

This weekend, Mr. Paul’s backers effectively captured the Alaska GOP, won the Louisiana caucuses and beat out delegates picked by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, the presumptive nominee’s home state.

I think this is what you are asking for?

President Obama and Mitt Romney are tied in a national head-to-head match-up, according to the latest survey from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen.

Each pulled 45 percent, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) edged Obama 44 to 43 in the daily tracking poll.

Thanks.
I guess I need more coffee or better glasses.

It’s okay, I know how that goes as I’m usually running on a bunch of coffee myself!

Cause I doubt his grandkids like him anymore than we do.

I bet he creeps them out just as much as he creeps me out.

Ok, that made me chuckle.

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.

   I am now thinking of using my vote here in Texas for the primary on Ron Paul

  Sounds like a good idea to me.
