What do you mean they don't have delegates to speak of or they aren't organized? Is that how he came from "should be the first to drop out" to "look who is in contention?"

Here is a more realistic delegate count and this is only showing those that have come out and said they support Ron Paul now - not fence sitters who might be Romney delegates now but in a brokered convention will vote for Paul the second time around when they can vote their conscience. I bet Paul will end up in second if not first and after the second vote at a brokered convention will end up being the nominee.

Yes, I'm sure Ron Paul will be the GOP nominee.

Do you really believe the stuff you write?

That video shows Romney estimated at only 425 delegates, but he shows over 500 just from bound/pledged here:

Why the discrepancy?

I don't know if any of you have ever heard Lindsay Williams before but he has ins with several of the NWO elites having lived with them and acted as their Pastor on the Alaskan Oil Pipeline and now some of them are telling him what the elites are strategizing to do. Much of what he's said in the past regarding the turn of events has come to pass.

He was on Alex Jones' radio show on Sunday and said some interesting things. He said that elites are very disgusted with Obama and says the elites say Obama will NOT be re-elected. He says they say that nothing will come of Iran for the time being. He said that other nations are doing deals between each other ie China-Japan and rejecting the dollar. He says that by the end of 2012 there will be a currency crisis.

I think Alex is going to have him on again later in the week to finish so if you are interested check info-wars.com to see who the guests are on the radio show this week. The show is podcast so you can listen at any time after it broadcasts on the radio.

With a view to Ron Paul surging, I think this all bodes well...except is sounds like the road will be bumpy along the way.

We really want to avoid the second video becoming our reality...
The Japanese are in a bad way. Only 1 reactor out of like 17 is running now. They have demanded physical assessments. However, they seem to be rubber stamping. People are very upset.

All 5 samples Gunderson took while in Tokyo were considered radioactive waste by our standards. They are surrounded by it. They are actually burning radioactive waste, if you can believe it. The Nuclear industry doesn't appear to do realistic cost analysis in their models.

Regarding BO it was stated he got paid on the pipeline deal, but it is thought he may change his tune later due to pressure. I think the immediate accomplishment of Iran could have been to get gas prices up, which is of interest to some.

All the delegate counts seem to be projections. I tend to stay away from that.

Cronyism is global. I enjoyed this "protest". I would agree with the "BAKA!" statement.
