Yeah, the establishment would rather see Paul as President than have him be anywhere near The Federal Reserve.

You WISH he only had 8 delegates! From the looks of some of the results, the delegates for Ron Paul could end up being like the military donations for Ron Paul or more than double all the other candidates combined. In the Jack Hunter article where Romney and Santorum got far more votes than Paul in Colorado, Paul got ALL the delegates. Thank heavens for delegates!

Give it up for heavens sake. If you asked Paul he would tell you he isn't going to get the nomination.

True, he has surged all the way from third place up to third place, he is going nowhere but back to Texas and retirement.

That isn't so as far as delegates go. In Minnesota they may end up with all or most of the delegates in spite of his only coming in second. Same thing with Nevada where it looks like hardly anyone voted for him.

With these elections it is getting so that the votes don't mean a thing which is a good thing since there is so much fraud going on in the counting of the votes. It's all just a charade so that people can THINK they have a say in who get's elected. When push comes to shove though, it is the delegates that count and they could be totally different than the popular vote.

So you've gone full circle.

From saying Ron Paul will win because he's dominating internet straw polls, to claims of vote rigging when he didn't, to saying Ron Paul will win since despite how everyone voted and what the media says Ron Paul is getting all the delegates anyway.

Sheesh.

NATIONAL polls show Ron Paul second.

Ron Paul Surging in Latest National Poll - MarketWatch

it is within the margin of error, but word is that Newt may drop out soon, and Santorum is still having trouble raising money. I think the Santorum vote was a protest vote, because Christians principles are under attack. Santorum is the extreme right, his sparkle is short lived.

I've been following that closely on facebook. Just let everyone think we're in a democracy and majority votes matter.

Sheesh.
In the end they will claim he really won and then make excuses why he didn't, thankfully they will not be able to make shame of the general election also because Paul will be GONE.
