Romney's aides say they do not view Paul as a threat to winning the nomination. But Romney and his team have also been mindful not to do or say anything that might anger Paul's loyal supporters.

"I think he's being very careful because he knows how important the Ron Paul voters are — they obviously represent a very different dynamic," said Mike Dennehy, a former top aide to Republican John McCain's 2008 campaign. "They are the most passionate and the most frustrated of any voters heading to the polls. And many of them are independents

Romney, nothing you can say will piss me off more than what I KNOW you intend to do. Good luck mittens.

 

[lib3rtarian]

Yeah right, they don't intend to piss us off. That's why they must be passing around fake slates and trying to cheat us. Fuck you, Romney.

He doesn't need to worry about angering us ... But he should be worried about the Liberty Train that is getting ready to squish him like a penny.

But Yahoo and their team have also been mindful not to do or say anything that might anger Paul's loyal supporters.

Fixed. One relatively unbiased article from Yahoo will not restore my faith in their ethics. At least we're getting some coverage though.

 

[azxd]

YES, coverage, and it sure is a national event, even if it's a bit muffled.

Ron Paul can win, if people are not distracted, or turned off by his support structure.

It's called RESPECT. Paul and the movement is now a force to be reckoned with.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

It is best now to irritate him by rubbing his ire and woes to create the pressure to force him to make mistakes (its how one delivers that would garner admiration instead of dislike)..... He and his followers have done fraud, cheat, espionage and other malevolent ways to deny America and its people a real better future for all rather than serving to give profits and controlling 'the people' for the benefit of crony-fascist-corporatism/all dominant government partnership-super rich elitist-ruling class....

No amount of nice words or magic underwear can undo your big government liberal record, Mr Romney or get me to vote for you.

 

[JakeH]

He's trying to NOT piss us off? Jeez, I'd hate to see what he'd be up to if he didn't care.

 

[2young2vote]

That is interesting. They seem to think we are like the masses of voters.

That may be true, but we can guarantee Romney can lose the general election. Romney knows this... if by some means Ron Paul doesn't get the GOP nominee, he can negotiate for pretty much anything during the general election. If it comes to that point...

 

[seawolf]

You had better read the Maine Sunday Papers which all reporting that the Romney Campaign will aggressively move to unseat the entire Maine Delegation.

It is going to be a political war in Tampa with the RNC, The Rules Committee etc.

The Ron Paul Campaign Legal Team is going to have to be really good and I know they will be really expensive.

The Rise for Liberty Money Bomb on May 17th will need to be HUGE just to pay for the coming WAR with Romney and the RNC.

Screw Romney. It's Paul vs Vermin Supreme this November!

 

[Isaac Bickerstaff]

The best thing the GOP old guard can do for their own survival right now is give us everything we want. Remember the bloodshed in 2008? That helped inspire the current organization and passion that is winning delegates right now. If they pull that same crap (X 1000) this year, the resulting shitstorm will absolutely not be containable. They have already done just about everything they can think of to alienate us, but we are still willing to work with them on some level. If they keep it up, the takeover will be complete, and there will be no prisoners.

Too late. Mittens pissed us off in 2007-2008.

As long as either Ron Paul or Gary Johnson appears on the ballot here in Texas, there is no way I'm voting for Romney.
