What was it I said when Ron Paul declared he would not continue campaigning in the primaries? Let’s go back:
If you weren’t going to vote for Ron Paul by now, his campaigning in your state wouldn’t change that. And if you were, you still are.
And for Camp Paul, this campaign hasn’t been about winning primaries, but racking up delegates.
So, yeah, like I was saying:
This past weekend, Paul accomplished that goal, winning 12 of 13 delegates at the state GOP convention.
“Victories in Minnesota and other states demonstrate that Ron Paul supporters possess the adaptability, organizational muscle, and unmatched enthusiasm required to continue winning delegates in upcoming contests,” Paul campaign manager John Tate said in a statement.
Paul’s victory means 32 of Minnesota’s 40 national delegates will now be committed to Paul at this summer’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. The libertarian-leaning GOP candidate is remaining in the presidential race to compete for delegates in the hopes of shaping the convention and influencing the party platform.
He also recently took all of Maine’s delegates. And who know exactly how many more.
While he may not be campaigning, and while he may not have won a state in the primaries, I still contend this delegate strategy is going to make the GOP convention a national version of the Missouri Caucuses.
I’m not saying his supporters are going to get him the nomination, but they will have an impact on things, and it could get heated.
Heated is right.. People are getting sick of Fed Reserve/mass goverment/stripping of constitutional rights and huge lobbyist money running washigton just to name a few.. :) don’t forget about the massive liberty movement concert going on right next door. Let’s hope that they don’t try and block this movement. If they do I would have to say the word heated could be a very large understatement.
Ron Paul has shot his credibility. He wouldn’t dare try to steal this moment from Romney.
The tiny part of my brain where the Gremlins hang out really want Ron Paul to try and steal it from Romney. It’s the same part of my brain that wants to see cars flying into the stands at Nascar races.
The rest of my brain just wants Obama put out to pasture.
Please explain how Ron Paul of all people riot his credibility… This is the same guy who doesn’t take money from lobbyist or ever vote against the constitution. After 30 years never voted for a tax increase. Like he claimed he wouldn’t… I just wonder first where you come up with his credibility problem. He’s not a flip flopper. Second who is the guy you claim is more credible with his word than Ron Paul.
united we stand, divided we fall.
vote out all the democrats and rinos and especially the evil anti-american obama and his evil ilk.
I would almost venture to say that Paul has the only true supporters. Most people I talk to only support a particular candidate because the are the lesser of the evils. I’m not a Paul supporter, but he does have a great strategy. I just wish we had more honest, moral people in congress and that we didn’t have to try to figure out who was lying or buying votes just to get elected.
