What say you?
Newt isn't Conservative? When he led the most successful revolt against Washington in a century? He's a darn sight better than Barry, foibles and all.
Every candidate has dirt in their closet (cough, Stormfront, cough). Axelrod et al will try to eviscerate whoever the GOP nominates.
Are you kidding? The government is bigger than it was before they started. Revolt my behind. He had GATT passed under the radar, which offshored all our jobs to communist China.
Who cares if Goldman Sachs Romney runs against Goldman Sachs Obama --- they take us to the same place. I wish people wouldn't be so naive to think that a puppet president has any power whatsover.
Nicely done. Whenever I see a post reasonably talking about a path to victory, as you have done, the inevitable always happens.
The comments focus on other issues, as Chris has so quickly demonstrated.
This has been an issue for the Paulistas. They too have no path to victory and cannot demonstrate how he will amass the delegates needed.
Paul's grassroots following will do best in the caucus states than in any other environment. If you understand how a caucus system works then you'd have a difficult making the case otherwise since it is in these caucus states (of which the state of MN in which I live is one) that RP supporters have been working day and night all summer long (working county fairs, parades, farmer's markets, sporting events, pub crawls, etc.) to locate other supporters and get them plugged into the network at the precinct level.
This level of organization which has transpired not just over months but since the 2008 election cannot be replicated in the few weeks in which Gingrich and Santorum have been the flavors.
Paul may not have enough delegates to win the nomination outright. But then neither might Romney or the others. After the first round of voting at the RNC it's a whole different ballgame.
I don't think there is any doubt whatsoever which camp's supporters have the staying power beyond that first vote.
Chris Hiatt... Paul's supporters notwithstanding, if we see a brokered convention, which is possible, he will not have the support of the party regulars.
Paul, has no real shot at the nomination, so the question remains, why is he still in the race?
He lost in Iowa, a caucus state and he will be losing soon my state, Nevada, another caucus state, to Romney, who has a strong Mormon base.
The race, at this point, with no late entries, is between Romney and Gingrich, in spite of the dedication of the Paul camp.
At least as I see it.
The claim that Gingrich is conservative is laughable. He calls Medicare reform :right-wing social engineering." So he's a "conservative who isn't on the right? How does that work?
David, "as you see it" is wrong. Ron Paul has the best chance of securing the nomination, and the only real candidate that can take on Obama. He has the moral character, the stamina, the support, the difference to offer an option to Big Government control. People who want "their" constitutional government back, will have the opportunity to vote for it by voting for Ron Paul. He has the proven track record of voting 100% constitutionally, 100% of the time. That is where we will get the respect back for this country and for the people.
CSH, you've yet to provide a path to the nomination for Paul... how does he get the delegate count? His qualifications are worthless of he can't get to the magic number... ask Hillary about that...
