I agree _NO WAY_ is it going to happen, PERIOD! My goodness, get a healthy dose of reality folks and not get your expectations so high. Then, you won't find yourself coming back here on these boards crying like babies yammering and whining about the failure of the RP campaign.
Trust me, I've been there. FL is a very, very tuf nut to crack, beating Guillani is the only thing I want to see RP succeed at down there. (And I don't mean beating Guillani with most votes, I mean preventing Guillani from winning 1st, 2nd spot, if we are really lucky we might even help knock him out of 3rd! This thinking will help RP win in the long run.)
Look, Guillani is betting everything to win FL and he thinks he'll soar back with a win, place or show and he's back in the game again. The MSM will love it and crown him the come-back kid II. With RP, Thompson, & Huckabee, it's possible Guillani could lose Fl and his plans for Super Tuesday is waylaid and left in complete ruins.
Im glad RP spending $$ Florida, sometimes winning delegates isn't the only game in town, it's also strategically important to play your cards in such away to best defeat your competitors and knock them out of contention by other means. Its a chess game and RP can take advantage and with our bucks he could win the nomination OR at least, catch the VP spot. (McCain as Pres. nominee?) Ugh...
Sounds crazy doesn't it? Remember folks, McCain's skin cancer is in remission. The stresses of the presidency is not going to be conducive to keeping this cancer at bay, and chances are he may eventually succumb to the disease.
So, winning the nomination is our goal but don't forget Ron Paul could become the defacto VP choice too, that's a potential secondary goal. That is, if RP chooses to take it or risk going 3rd party.
But, I certainly agree with others here on this board, RP's best strategy is to spend the rest of his (our) money on the those states that have been skipped by the other candidates. It's an EXCELLENT stealthy way to get delegates under the radar and bust this convention wide open leaving the possibility for both scenarios above to be played out. My hopes he can win the nomination and avoid making a pack with the devil.
