They like to talk about politicians. Rarely does politics seem to enter into the discussions.

So, they choose scorched earth and inevitable defeat over compromise and dialogue. They don't want to win with Romney. They want to lose with a "fiscally conservative" platform so they can say "I told you so" in 4 years. Fucking childish.

I immediately question the legitimacy of a poll suggesting Romney has any lead over Obama - even within a statistical margin of error. That is just not going to happen.

The majority of the GOP would rather lose with Romney than win with Paul. That is what was decided Dec-Apr. The outcome is a foregone conclusion. The only ones not acknowledging this are the media, who need some sort of a race to sell advertisements.

As much as I would have liked to see a delegation of hundreds of Paul delegates go and storm Tampa in an effort to overturn rules and run Romney out of town, while having the convention turn into a coup - likely turning violent, I also understand that the liberty movement is a long-term strategy...

What is the organization like in Wisconsin and Oklahoma? Does RP have a chance at gaining more delegates this weekend?

I think you're a bit confused on the demographic "babes" are intended to attract. ;-)

Ron Paul's supporters scored an incredible upset at both the Maine and Nevada Republican State Conventions this weekend. In Maine, they won 15 out of 15 at-large delegates and were on track to win the 6th congressional district delegates. In Nevada, Paul's supporters won 22 out of 25 delegate...
