Obama will win a 2nd IMO.
If Ron Paul was so popular why didn’t he win any (might have got a couple, can’t remember) primaries?
Santorum, Romney and can’t think of his name ex speaker dude??? all out polled Paul easily in most races, i thought?
He did win a few and they were in the states with a transparent, non electric voting system.
Anywhere an open count was held in front of a camera Ron Paul won by a huge margin.
Its fairly plain to see has a lot more support then the media is telling you.
Yeah but nah.
That all sounds a bit conspiratorial. He didn’t get the support to run; I’d say this is how most would see it. Just Like Santorum, Perry and…ah WTF’s his name ex speaker dude.
The Rep’s best bet was Christie.
And what do you base that opinion on?
He does have the support to win because unlike for other people his delegates are loyal will not just fold and end up voting for Romney.
There’s much speculation about delegates being compelled to vote for the nomination and many think there could be a “revolution” of types and shift support to Paul. All to do with
Don’t get me wrong, i think Paul would be a good option for the Rep’s.
From an article….
Mitt Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegate count needed with his win in the Texas Primary last night. Now the remaining Primaries are just a formality before the Republican National Convention, August 27-30, 2012, in Tampa, FL.
But, what if the delegates are not bound to Romney or any candidate on the "first ballot" vote as the RNC keeps repeating and the media keeps parroting?
Who would the delegates vote for at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, if they knew that the RNC in 2008 put a rule into effect that clearly states that the delegates are not bound to any candidate regardless of State Party rules?
Would we see the Ron Paul revolution that many Paul delegates say we will?
The rule….
Rule number 38:
No delegate or alternate delegate shall be bound by any attempt of any state or Congressional district to impose the unit rule.
