Very nice, and that glass of wine looks pretty good right now. Cheers.

Overall i think we did good.
Even if its Rigged.

No argument from me, The GOPers have done everything in their power to keep RP out of the running. It must frustrate them to no end that he's not going away.

If we win great. If we dont, I hope we can survive 4 years turmoil to have someone bear the torch. I also hope Ron will be around still to endorse the candidate in 2016. Without Ron being involved in 2016, it might be hard to convince people to vote for a "new ron paul".

Romney just jumped and even though Ron is further above santorum he is now at 24.9% to S's 24.3%

And King is STILL at 50% reporting.

If the GOP nominates Romney of Santorum, I bet they would nominate someone similar to their taste in 2016, 2020; the people will never let anyone Ron Paulish close to the gates of the White House

then we need to turn our attention to the party system and get rid of the monopolies.

I think I see a little plot here, if the GOP can keep Ron Paul from winning 5 states, they can keep him off the podium in the convention and that goes for Rand as well. No speaking time means no changes from the GOP policy platform. The GOP wants to stay unchanged this election, next election, and other future elections. I doubt the GOP will learn anything and I bet they will probably repeat this mistake in 2016 by nominating Christie, Jindal, or Jeb Bush and they might give Rand the same treatment as Ron.

We all knew that going in. We came to change it and nobody can say we haven't made an impact. It's up to us to keep the change moving forward. Even if RP doesn't win.

I was just going "Wha?" over that, myself.

it is plurality of delegates of 5 states as I understand it, not five straw polls.

only to the extent they will pretend that is true forever. The straw poll doesn't determine delegates. But they are still pretending Santorum got a ton of delegates from Iowa, when he had zero ground game to get them.

One thing I like is that all but one of the counties next door to Idaho, Ron won. And the one he didn't win is Spokane and that is just screwy, or was specially targeted to try to get rid of 'troublemakers'.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not losing hope as some seem to be doing. Merely stating a hypothetical.
