How embarrassing for Romney! (voting, states, support, Ron Paul)

[emilybh]

I'd say this weekend has to be one of Romney's more embarrassing ones -- what with Ron Paul winning the majority of Maine delegates and Nevada's.

When will they stop calling him "the presumptive nominee"?

I didn't read that in the rules.

he isn't going to win Texas period. Have you seen the polls?

Poor Romney. It seems many of the phantom delegates the MSM said were all locked up for Romney are gravitating over to the Ron Paul delegate camp.

what a slanted article, if you really pay attention the article says "according to the Paul campaign"

I'm not worried about Romney's chances. He'll eventually be fine. Paul's fifteen minutes will be over before you know it.

Like you said, Romney is doing just "fine" instead of GREAT. With all the backing from establishments, who changed rules in favor of Romney, unlimited support from Wall Street, doing "just fine" is a failure.

Like we have said, unless Romney able to secure the 1144 majority before the convention, change is he won't be the nominee. Now with Rule 38, many of the bound maybe won't vote for him, even in round 1.

Thank goodness!

Where do you get this from? He's polling around 10% in Texas.

Fox News says Ron Paul's surging at state conventions is "embarrassing for the presumptive nominee".

And they say about the national convention in Tampa "a lot of it is going to be about Ron Paul".
