MSM is guaranteeing Ron Paul will make his concession speech tonight.



Taking any bets that won't happen?


Wondering why?

Where did you hear or see this? I have checked and haven't heard it, but then I don't have access, nor to I pay attention to MSM 24/7..My guess, the only way he will totally drop out would be if he gets really badly in Texas, which might happen...Otherwise I think he will hang in until after Cal at the earliest.

Maybe they said "concession stand" speech (for the location of the speech) tonight and you misheard. What better place to make a speech for campaign contributions than on a line where you pay $5 for a soda, $8 for popcorn and your first born son for a hot dog?

Mitt Romney is preparing his concession speech after today's Texas primary... When Ron Paul gets 3 more delegates today... Romney is mathematically eliminated from getting 1144 delegates... Ron Paul wins on the second ballot at the convention.

If it is true that Paul is quitting, it is a sad day for our bedeviled nation.

I heard his wife Carol was sick and in the hospital and that was the real reason he stopped campaigning so hard. I hope it isn't true. It would kind of remind me of the Ross Perot scene all over again.

I wouldn't spread a rumor like this. Just mentioning the idea brings it one step closer to manifestation. Negativity from supporters is one thing both Ron Paul and our country can do without.

I would think if his wife was in the hospital we would have read or seen something about this somewhere.

This happened in 2008. I am not sure where this info is coming from in regard to this election 2012.

MSM is saying Romney only needs 70 delegates to wrap this thing up tonight. Heard it on CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC.

So, Ron should be giving his concession speech tonight after the latest primary results. Isn't that how it works....

I don't think any such thing usually happens til after the convention. Quoting projections is nothing new here.
