I think I was confusing in the way I wrote that. I meant the delegates, I hope, will push for the highest win they can get.

Are you sure about that? I'm not. Of course she's not going to publicly come out and say it, but judging by all the coverage she gives Ron Paul in a world where nobody else does on a national level, I would say she likes something about him.
Maybe because as a lesbian she knows RP said he was OK with gay marriage years before Obama did? ("I favor voluntary associations of any kind, and people can call it whatever they want.") Or maybe because she likes the fact that he isn't a warmonger like Obama and Romney? Or maybe because she is well informed and knows that Ron Paul will be far better for civil liberties than Obama, who renewed the Patriot Act and signed the NDAA? Believe it or not, there are a lot of liberals out there who aren't blind to Obama's murderous rampage and abuses against the Constitution. (Which is exactly why RP will beat Obama if we can just get him the nomination.)
If I was a betting man, I'd lay money on it that Rachel Maddow wants Ron Paul to get the GOP nomination. (By the way, am I the only one who thinks she's one of the cuter lesbians on TV these days? If I was a lesbian myself I'd probably have a big crush on her.)

I take it you think she may read this and decide to do more coverage?

Me? (If you did mean me,) Why would I think she would find her way here to read this? That would be wishful thinking!

Some lawyer in Nebraska needs to call up the local police departments around the convention and inform them about the convention and what the rules are as far as people getting elected chairman and controlling the convention. We certainly don't need our people arrested because of establishment idiots again.

Kinda funny/weird to see so many Rachel Madow threads on the forums.

okay so what if Ron Paul wins Nebraska?
Then there will be 5 states with a plurality of RP delegates and those delegates will be able to put RP's name forward for the nomination. RP and Romney will both get a 15 minute unedited prime time speech. Then the delegates will vote for the nominee. Romney has enough bound delegates to win the nomination and barring something unforseen would win in the first round of voting.

Then there will be AT LEAST 5 UNBOUND states with a MAJORITY of delegates for Ron. He already has 5 with a majority, ME, IA, MN, NV and LA. It is just they are pretending where people are ONLY bound on 'the first ballot' that they are bound on the nomination process. At least one rules expert interviewed at the time of the NV convention said that is not the case, and our guys control that delegation, it isn't like unaffiliated with us party insiders will be reporting the state actions and might try to fudge it. No 'other name has been nominated' since the 1976 convention with Reagan against Ford and the Rockefeller Republicans apparently want to make sure that never happens again.
There are other states where we are so close it may be a matter of who shows up in Tampa. But we definitely want NE because RNC/Romney's folks have apparently said 'there will be no 5 states' presumably by the same hook or crook means they've been employing whenever they could. But if we don't get it, I don't at all buy the meme they are creating that Ron doesn't already have 5 states.

but it would still be the first time the delegates had a choice since 1976.

^^^ THIS ^^^
Ron Paul getting an unedited speach at the RNC (vs Romney's speach) would be historic, historic!
It would show we are here and count.
Sailingaway has been stating this in so many posts on so many threads that it is only trolling to keep saying "what's the point" about this.

I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like she's creating the drama. It was already there. She's just reporting on it. At least someone in the MSM is.

Yeah. I'm sure she has her own reasons, but I don't care. There SHOULD be publicity of the shenanigans.

There are WORSE Talking Heads/Opinion Shapers masquerading as "Journalists", biased as she is.
But those LEAN FORWARD ads mark her not only as unapologetically Big Government, but also as not-even-a-passing-nod-to-fiscal-reality Socialist.
Oh, she may truly want to expose Republican Party Machine shenanigans but, yes, because it helps her "side". EITHER WAY, it helps her "side". It helps her side if there are more "Ron Paul type people" in power than people who seek out DICK CHENEY'S advice. It helps her side if the the Convention is the wrong sort of spectacle and the "party" goes into further disarray.

Yes, of course.
But the fact is, the GOP brought this all on themselves and they deserve to have the ire of Ron Paul supporters. If I was a Democrat, I would be smiling, too.
Im enjoying watching her show because she's totally bashing the establishment GOP into the ground. Maybe the shaudenfreud (sp?) that Im feeling is why she's covering RP lately. Ratings talk. I lied before when I said I wouldn't watch her show any more than any other after that. All of Romney's faults on tv is just too much to not laugh at.....then cry a little.
