1. Maybe not Paul

I think we all agree that Ron Paul is going to stick with it to the end. He already has this history. So maybe he's not the guy you'd want to vote for if your intention was to prolong the Repug nomination agony. I'd suggest InSanitorium or the Newt as a better strategic choice, whichever is polling higher.

I will again remind folks who are against "crossing over" to consider the fact that Dems didn't make the rules in these primaries. The Repugs did this to themselves. If we exploit the huge, cavernous hole that they created themselves, so much the worse for them.

The important thing to do at this late stage is to organize. Think strategically. And if there's an open Repug primary in your state, by all means go to the polls and cast your vote for the candidate which will maximize the Repug's agony.

After all, the Repugs have done much, much worse to us Dems. We'll be merely exploiting the hole in the system Which they themselves put there.

They made their bed, let them now lie in it.
