Meanwhile, Ron Paul has pulled coups in Maine and Nevada

[cali]

this is pretty funny stuff and a real blow to Mitt (Liar) Rmoney.

By Brad Knickerbocker, Christian Science Monitor | 08:36 am

Ron Paul’s presidential strategy is working — at least it did in Maine and Nevada Sunday, where he won the most number of delegates at state party conventions.

If most Republicans and pundits consider Mitt Romney the all-but-nominated champion to take on Barack Obama in this year’s presidential election, Rep. Paul’s army of enthusiastic and determined backers beg to differ.

In fact, they’re not begging at all but pounding at the gates of conventional political thinking. All that’s missing are the torches and pitchforks.

Paul’s method is to hold the Republican Party to its often-arcane delegate selection rules, especially in state party conventions.

Go Paulites, go. Give The Mittened Liar a bad case of heartburn.

1. What happens at the state conventions where Rmoney didn't win?

In the states Santorum won, what do they generally do?

[think]

11. RP won 20 of the 24 congressional district delegates in Minnesota

out of the 40 total delegates for the state. 13 more delegates will be voted on in the state wide convention this month.

Paul appears to have done well in many other states like Iowa and Louisiana also.

Tampa should be extremely interesting.

2. Nevada has a pretty significant Mormon population, too... Interesting

3. I imagine the nominating rules for both parties will get some tweaks

after this election...

Who needs to campaign for votes or make public appearances or any of that shit when you can just have your goons infiltrate party chairmanships on a local level??

9. As someone who is active on the local level

I'm amused by watching the Paulites infiltrate the local parties, but I think that Democrats need to be just as active at the local level.

4. Venn Diagrams

The Venn Diagram of Paulites vs. Larouchites must show a large area of intersection.

5. What a mess in Maine! Paul people wreak havoc at GOP convention

7. good, good, good. I'm pro anything that fucks with Mittens

[Arkana]

6. If he gets five states he could get on the ballot at the convention

and cause some havoc with the party platform.

I want to see this, I really do.

8. me too! I'm positively salivating at the prospect

[Initech]

12. I hate Ron Paul but I'm so looking forward to the pending implosion at the convention.

[Lawlbringer]

10. I am all for giving Mitt a hard time

but I really hate the idea of having the Paulites anything more to trumpet about. Taking the wind out of THEIR sails would do the most good for all of us, considering that Mitt's supporters are downright lackadaisical compared to the Cult of Paul-sonality. President Obama's going to steamroll either of them, but the less I see of the Paulites, the better.

13. I got a Paultard neighbor across the street from me...

in a deep blue area of Denver.

I don't understand him.
