Romney is out.

[Estanislao]

The CFR has chosen (sometime ago) that we will have a Dem president. Preferrably Hillary.

This cinches it.
more war McCain can't win against the Dems

I think Romney cut a deal for VP, as opposed to Huckleberry.
He has the money and was 2nd runner.
He had to have cut a deal.

Fox news--"Romney is the most conservative"--sean hannity.

They are now eating their young.

I have noticed that the folks I know that have a lot of cash invested in capital gains markets are terrified of McCain as he has flip flopped on his capital gains tax position and therefore wanted Romney. With Romney gone there is really only one choice if folks don't want their capital gains taxed and that would be... Ron Paul.

 

[colin1]

I would love to see a Ron Paul press conference, or address to the GOP party of some kind, where he LAYS OUT HIS PLAN TO FIGHT TERRORISM. If they could hear his plan, they could be converted.

No that would make too much sense. I'm sure the campaign will put out a press release regarding it in a week or so.

 

[Shed]

In light of Romney's departure, Paul needs to announce he is going to run 3rd party, AND continue his run for the GOP nomination through to the convention. This should end the media blackout immediately, because an independent run will spoil it for McCain (it'll be pretty hard to keep ignoring someone who has just ruined it for the frontrunner). It will energize the grassroots beyond belief, and provide an out for loyal Republican Paul supporters who still want him to win the nomination. For the next 6 months supporters can build his name recognition, supply him with money bomb cash, and pick up delegates towards a major show down in St. Paul.

I just don't see how you think that announcing to the Republican core that 1: he's abandoning them and 2: they're stuck with McCain will help his campaign.

Far from over - in fact NOW its starting.

I bet my freedom on this being arranged!

Romney is an insider. He is the black-ops man (intelligence services, private enterprises, etc).

He has a huge ego. He has spent millions of his own money.

He doesn't just drop out.

McCain probably made a deal with him. For example the VP position.

Given how influential the VP has been under Bush, and given that McCain has one foot in the grave - this is actually a safe deal for him. Together they stand a better chance of beating Paul and Huck. McCain and Romney are both liberal republicans and lobbyist/government/power elite puppets, so no big leap there.

This is bad in that it reduces chances of brokered convention. Hence reducing our chances to attain delegates.

It is good in that it is even harder for the MSM to ignore RP now. They will of course launch much attention to RP as soon as McCain is on the safe side - but now they may have to give more attention to RP, if nothing else than as proxy to the Huckster in opposition attention.

It is also good in that it will be easier for RP to win entire states (which in itself forces attention). Now, if RP eventually go third party after the convention, all thie coming attention will be gold.

And the fact that RP refuses to confirm or deny his potential 3rd party shot is a stroke of genius. Everyone - even the retard MSM - KNOWS that it will severely undermine McCain should he go 3rd. So, the more certain McCain is as canditate THE MORE ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN RP AND HIS POTENTIAL INDEPENDENT RUN. You have noticed how much speculation have been about this already. EVERY time the MSM interviews RP they ask about this and his money raising. Yesterday Cavuto on fox mentioned it again. Im telling you, its just starting.

RP is a genius because he knows this will increase attention about him and his race. And it would be stupid to deny or confirm, because that would release the tension of the speculations and uncertainties. He needs to go with his poker face all the way into the convention, even should Huckster drop out and start kissing McCains old ass.

So it is far from over. If the MSM increase his attention regarding speculations about 3rd party run, it will actually strengthen the very opportunity to do so, making it even harder for them to ignore him if and when that actually will happen.

It's all still exciting.

Look folks the Limbaugh wing of the party hates McCain! The people at my caucus were disgusted with McCain and Bush. Romney has betratyed his own base this WILL come back to bite him RP will get delegates. If thing play out right in the next few weeks, this could be the best thing to happen to The Revolution!

Now is the time to push forward contact Romney Delegates they are inlarge part unbound, I know two in CO who will likely never vote McCain. Here is a huge opportunity on the RP campaign needs to act very very aggressively.

hate to tell you but nobody cares about those people anymore.

The regan revolution is officially dead and all his neo-con offshoots.

Republican 'insiders' are attacking Hannity on Fox.

Hannity is whining that he is standing on his principles (in rejecting Mccain).

Yep, eating their young.

problems:

1. we aren't really raising that much money anymore.
2. the media don't have to talk about RP as anything other than a footnote.
3. I don't think McCain and Romney have had any trouble beating Paul so far.

Yep, eating their young.

And what principles would those be? Licking the boots of his neo-con masters?

 

[MalcolmGandi]

My guess is McCain/Huckabee. Here's how we win an independent run: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=114029

 

[Molly1]

Hannity---Romney, the most conservative, and Huckabee, the second most conservative, split the conservative vote.

Hellloooooo?

Yes!!! I likey this idea....he should say that if he doesn't win the nomination he will FOR SURE go third party...oh hell yea---this would be GRAND..b/c Neither McWar nor Huckabilly can win in the general without RP voter support...oh I love this idea!

 

[tamor]

I think if he was going to support McWar - he would have said his name

 

[tamor]

He still has his delegates because he is calling it "suspending" his campaign ... how about a visit to Romney forums -- too early?

 

[Crickett]

Did he endorse anyone or not?

Yes, McInsane

 

[colin1]

Yes, McInsane

He officially endorsed him, or are these the reports?

 

[Crickett]

Yes!!! I likey this idea....he should say that if he doesn't win the nomination he will FOR SURE go third party...oh hell yea---this would be GRAND..b/c Neither McWar nor Huckabilly can win in the general without RP voter support...oh I love this idea!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid 3rd party posts..especially right now..jeeze

Oh..I think we will be raising money now...yes sir ree!

Let's hear RP's speech after McCain. If he lucks out and is in rare form, we got a super DUPER push..

Dude you are so wrong. (Not sure who you are referring to but...)

Even if McCain is the guy, these people have a voice within the GOP structure this alone is important. So lets just ignore all the Romney supporters who hate McCain. Lets just ignore the current fractious nature in the GOP.

Bad Strategy dude.
