Despite the media and Republican Party having declared Mitt Romney the GOP
nominee for the 2012 presidential election, fewer than half of the
states have actually chosen their delegates for the convention in Tampa
in August.
However, the media has done not a middling job, not a mediocre job,
but a horrendous job of reporting the nomination process for this year’s
primary and caucus season.
Several states have non-binding straw votes on the day of their
caucuses, Ron Paul hasn’t yet won a primary or caucus vote though it
bears mentioning, voter fraud is strongly suspected in Alaska, Maine and
Nevada.
Despite this perceived lack of electability on behalf of the GOP
and media, the Paul campaign has persisted on both their message of a
clear delegate strategy and demonstrating they know what they’re talking
about.
As I wrote in this
post last week, Santorum’s supporters have teamed up with Dr. Paul’s
and have adopted a “anyone but Mitt” mentality. Ostensibly this won’t
include Newt, but what it has done is upset the Romney apple cart.
Witness the highly amused Rachel Maddow admitting Ron Paul has won Iowa here.

Thanks for the good news; a refreshing change of pace.
ReplyDeleteI hope he's able to lobby the delegates, though I think he still would have had a better chance with the Democrats - there are a lot of them who cannot stand 0bama on his civil liberties record.
Democrats? Hmm, that would have been interesting.
ReplyDeleteI want the Republicans to win now, whoever it is. (Unless Paul runs as an independent or Libertarian) A lame duck Obama gives me nightmares.
