Thread: Ron Paul Wins in Colorado!

Ron Paul could move into second place by the time of the convention and it's not about winning the nomination and he would be happy with just collecting few hundred delegates at the end of the nomination process.

Good for him. I doubt he will win 636 delegates to create a brokered convention. That is just over 2/3's of the remaining delegates. Understanding the electoral trends during this primary, that is highly unlikely. Mitt Romney only needs 300 delegates to clinch the nomination. He can do just that by winning the majority of the delegates in California and Texas alone. Statistics are not on Ron Paul's side.

But who got the things that matter the most...the DELEGATES? Who cares about the straw poll, it is about the delegates and Paul won them.

I like many of Paul's ideas (especially quitting kissing israel's ass) but if he costs Romney the election, it will be a nightmare for the country.

It is bad either way. I have had a facebook conversation with someone that actually said he didn't care that Romney and Obama have the same policies, just voting for Romney cause he wont be a lame duck. Well, if we all don't like Obama, and Romney is the same and gets elected, then who are we going to get after Romney? It is Bush's fault we got Obama. Who is Romney going to be responsible for? Hillary?

Romney is as big an Israel ass kisser as any of them....He's just another flunky for the banksters like the rest...Makes absolutely no difference who wins between Romney and Obama...


BushI=Clinton=BushII=Obama=Rom ney...

US politics are a rigged game. Both parties are controlled by the same scumbags....

Fill in the blank....

Had it not been for Ross Perot, Clinton ______________________________ ________________
