Sounds good to me.

Romney supporters were in damage control mode Saturday, undermining Paul's numerous caucus state victories and insisting that a broken process caused Romney an embarrassing finish in Louisiana. Romney supporter and Greater New Orleans Republican Chairwoman Sarah Roy complimented Ron Paul's campaign: “We congratulate Ron Paul supporters for apparently capturing their first state delegation in this Presidential election cycle through an excellent get out the vote effort today.”

Chairwoman Sarah Roy is probably hitting the liquor bottle now.

Very good article.

Funny thing, the process being called into question was specifically designed to get Romney some delegates out of Louisiana...

I love Allan Stevo. The Romney campaign should be well damned embarrassed.

although, I must say it should be even more embarrassing to Romney to lose 16 to 18 of 27 of the Congressional Districts in Massachusetts, including the district he lives in...........

From the article:

this technique was precisely the technique successfully used by President Obama’s 2008 campaign to defeat Hilary Clinton. As late as May 2008, then Senator Obama was still being referred to as unelectable in the media, until his delegate strategy started to show clear results.

Romney should be embarrassed-period.

In all fairness, Romney only took 27% of the straw poll there. Shouldn't it be Rick Santorum that is "embarrassed?" Doesn't Santorum still want to claim his rightful delegates? So that he can deal them if necessary at the convention? Or , since he dropped out, is the idea that most of the people that would attend the Louisiana convention theoretically would now vote for Romney, as a show of unity?

I personally think Santorum dropped out in good part BECAUSE he saw he was going to lose these states to Ron. People speculated it was because he didn't want to lose PA, but I think he thought it looked better for the future when his delegate count started going backwards, for him to have dropped out. But don't call him names. We want his supporters.

By the way, I am REALLY looking forward to the state conventions next week -- when I am hoping to see ROMNEY's delegate numbers go backwards...

 

[anaconda]

If Ron can win a caucus state where he got 6% of the straw vote, what does this say about his chances in other caucus states? Most interesting. Which also raises the question: why isn't Romney trucking in hundreds of people to attend these caucus conventions? I don't get it..

 

[sailingaway]

You really should check in more often. How far behind are you? Do you know he has half of the delegates from Minnesota already, 20 of 24 picked at Congressional Districts, and is expected to dominate the MN State convention where they pick most of the rest? (And Kurt Bills, who endorsed Ron, and whom Ron endorsed for Senate is likely to win the coveted Senate endorsement from the state GOP, which is awarded at that convention?)

I mean, I'm just not sure what you don't know, but if you are only now speculating on how well Ron is doing in caucus states, you clearly haven't been keeping up....

Why should he be embarrassed, no one will ever know but us....

lol! isn't that the truth. Unless they end up voting for Ron on second ballot, which might be noticeable.

I wonder how many people that might have voted for Romney didn't because of how the media is playing him up as the winner already? Hopefully it's a trend...thanks msm!
