Ron's heart appears to be in very good shape (and in the right place too) IMO.
lol, I know what you mean about the poll numbers though...
However, I think the sleeping Newt needs to go see his cardiologist before his lips really do turn blue.

Until the convention, yeah. Become a delegate and help change it at the convention.

looks to me like romney will win california , texas and new york.
IMO there will be no brokered convention , mittens will win this thing.
I'm not here to make friends...
..I'm here to make best friends! <3
Naw seriously, though. I really don't know what to think anymore. Part me of is like.. coming to terms that we lost the moment they took Iowa from us. I kinda wish we could redirect al of our efforts to local and state government elections. I think we could get a lot more done within 10 years if we did.
What the hell does the last row mean?
But a couple things...If the goal is to be the nominee..in all honesty, BOTH should withdraw. But that is not Ron Paul's goal. But remember..Gingrich has a LOT more money, two wins under his belt, and some states where he has a really good chance of winning. (Though that chance is not as good as it was on Monday)
FindLiberty - when did you last give Ron Paul a chest x-ray to know about his heart? He may be in pretty good shape for his age, but also, statistically speaking, his life expectancy is only about 9 1/2 years. Which would likely decrease due to the stress of the presidency.
By the way...the BEST way to do it, rather than assigning points would be to simply take their average place. I generously gave Santorum and Gingrich a 3rd place in Virginia..and you get Romney - 1.8, Santorum - 2.0, Paul - 3.1 and Gingrich - 3.3. Where obviously hte lower the better.
Of course, Ohio was the only state that really mattered on Tuesday, since the other states were pretty much set. Ohio was the only state that was even somewhat of a surprise. That is why I didn't understand last night when people called Romney the loser for Super Tuesday and Santorum the winner. (Granted, that was before Alaska.)
But please...can you all STOP talking about a brokered convention! It is NOT going to happen. Again..to those too young to know past this election cycle...this year it NOT some special occurrence. There have been SEVERAL primary seasons that have been just as close or even closer. And so far NONE have neded in a brokered convention.
Not only is it VERY likely Romney gets to 1144 (it is all but a cinch if he takes Texas since he will definitely get CA and NY) but on the off chance that he doesn't, deals will be made before the first round to avoid it being brokered. They are NOT going to allow it to get to a brokered convention. (And I hate to tell you, but Ron Paul STILL wouldn't win. There are not going to be 144 Ron Paul delegates, bound or unbound, stealth or not, delegates.)

Ha.Same conclusion, different methodology. Yours looks prettier, though.

If you think "it's over" THEN LEAVE!
Let us rest of the idiots keep fighting, we don't need any quitters here!

But Ron Paul DOES need realists. And you are not one.
The realists have always been the minority here. I'm not saying it was ever unrealistic for him to win, it definitely wasn't. But like I keep saying, most people here spend more effort on convincing themselves that he's doing well, focusing on the tiny wins that don't mean anything and digging for numbers to be in our favor instead of putting in any ACTUAL work to make our guy win. Just look at the countless of posts where people complain about the media and marginalize the OTHER candidates' success. "Oh you know, if it wasn't for the MEDIA, they wouldn't be doing so well". WHO. EFFING. CARES? I know, the media pushed them and that's why they're doing well, and you know what? THAT'S WHY THEY'RE WINNING STATES. Instead of trying to find ways around the media or make the media work for us, we spend all our time bitching about the media.
I honestly don't think the campaign or Ron Paul are to blame. We did put in a lot of work, it's just that 90% of that work was spent on building a fantasy land where Ron Paul is winning every primary and angrily emailing people who don't like Ron Paul.
These are presidential elections. Not like.. World of Warcraft. This isn't an online game where we live in our own pretty little world and play revolutionaries. This is you know, a campaign to get a guy elected. It's just sad that by far the majority of all Ron Paul supporters prefer the fantasy world.

If Ron Paul was a "realist" then he'd have given after spending a couple of years in Congress seeing that most people are dumb as brick & don't care about their liberty; it's only because he's an optimist that he's stood there for so long & has now triggered a movement of huge proportions
Sellouts like you are what's wrong with Washington, the idea of going along to along, compromising principles just so you'd get a piece of crum thrown at you; if the electorate is compromising & unprincipled & believes in going with "lesser evil" & is unwilling to stand on principles then a compromising & unprincipled government is what they get & deserve!
