Looks like Paul Delegates will Tailgate on Huckabee

[Change]

Looks like 10% of Paul Delegates will Taligate on Hucka injection at Convention!

 

[bobbyw24]

It worked--Huck took all 18 delegates in W Va.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

so now we are disguised behind enemy lines?

 

[TruthAtLast]

i love the strategy. I hope we are on our way to a brokered convention. That is the only shot for Ron Paul, and probably for Huckabee too.

As long as no one wins the nomination outright, we're still in this.

Of course, I'd support Ron on an independent ticket too.

 

[El Davicho]

Lol, great idea but how are we sure of this?

 

[mokkan88]

We received three National delegates from Huckabee for helping him win West Virginia.

 

[Doriath]

Better than nothing!

There needs to be an official press release about this from HQ. This way we cannot be cheated out of the deal.

I love how we've just screwed things up for the GOP. The old party intellectuals must think that Ron Paul-supporters are like some irritating rash that just won't go away.

Wow, that's amazing. Good work to all involved.

A Paul/Huckabee block is actually a killer strong block, two pro-lifers and two baptists, and Heck Huckabee is already taking Pauls ideas! This realtionship should be formalized more after today particularlly if the two hold a total of around 400-500 delegates. Oddly it is a very natural alliance.

I know I know I know The Revolution is full of purists, but alas politics is, in part, about compromise!

What amazes me is that the media and the Romney campaign are saying that it was only the McCain delegates that made the deal and swung the convention to Huckabee. No mention of our role and the national delegates won by the Ron Paul delegates. And oh the media is reporting it as Huckabee won ALL of the delegates from WV.

Anything to keep any good mention of Ron Paul out of the news today

We have to learn to play the game and get our hands dirty inside the process.

Playing politics is what we have to do!!
Then we can let Ron Paul show his higher ideals when we actually have a win secured.

I would be all over a Paul/Huckabee ticket or a Huckabee/Paul ticket. End the IRS, conservative values, and Paul could continue to school Huck on Finance.

McCain HQ told all his delegates to support Huck... something fishy going on today.
