What is Gingrich's role in this race? CBS makes it clear.

The MSM does this all the time. If they want their candidate to win office and this candidates is unpopular...they come up with a #2 candidate that is worse, so the voters will vote for the lesser of two evils and the MSM (and their masters) get who they want. It's all about controlling who is #2. Why does this work? Your vote is only effective if you vote with others in a block...aka if you vote in a herd. Otherwise your vote is scattered and ineffective. The MSM can tell us sheeple which herds are available to make our votes count and the trick works.

The setup is to get people to believe all three, are alternatives and to marginalize Paul, the only actual alternative to the status quo. It does not matter who emerges as the nominee, so long as they all stay in and gather a share of delegates in order to minimized the number Paul can gather. Then, they all magicallly deliver their delegates to the "chosen" nominee. So simple.

I am bopping around different MSM channels today and when they show Nevada poll numbers, they are only showing the numbers for Romney and Gingrinch. I am seeing Santorum left out just as much as Paul these days.

In the rare cases where everyone is showed in polls, they only show GOP voters in Nevada where Paul comes in last.

And they'll state this outright as though that's possible. But it isn't. When a candidate drops out, delegates are released. The candidate can endorse whomever, but this has no binding effect whatsoever on his or her delegates.

They'll sure make it sound like it does, though. Won't they?

I said nothing about a candidate dropping out. This will all be manipulated behind closed doors at the convention.

Exactly.

Ah, but we were there in force four years ago, and this time we'll be even more numerous. So, it's going to get interesting...

Definately how THEY play the game.

I believe Romney was told to concede to McCain last time and he would be allowed to succeed this time.
He will lose to Obama - which is what THEY want anyhow.

It's a sick game and we are the collateral damage.
