While I admire Doc's enthusiasm and tenacity for the Ron Paul cause, the fact remains that RP has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning the nomination.Comment

There's more to consider than just 1 election cycle.

Ron Paul (maybe) wins Oklahoma's delegation.
Paul was starting to eat up delegates so the GOP chair tried to adjourn the meeting improperly. A Paul supporter grabbed a mic and pointed it out, so they did it properly. At this point everyone was standing up, milling about. Called all in favor to close the convention, it was shouted down. Tried again by calling for all in favor to stand, everyone sits down as fast as they can. Then they just shut off the lights and tell everyone to get out. Everyone gets pissed and starts screamining.
Someone (Paul supporter) says they'll reconvene in the parking lot.
Apparently they reconvened in the parking lot, got a quorum, passed a motion to throw out all business up to that point, revoted and gave all delegates to Paul. Something tells me this is going to be a big blow up before it's over.
The establishment does this almost every time that Paul starts to take a delegation. But for some reason people think they aren't afraid of him.

Arizona is also voting for delegates today but hasn't finalized their session yet. Apparently their ballots were invalid and listed delegates vetted and approved by the mitt romney campaign on the official ballot (illegal) and had to print new ones... but can't find enough paper.
GOP really sucks at running fair elections.Comment

lol, people watching the live streams on the Paul sites are conducting a "pizza bomb"... buying pizzas online and having them sent to the convention out there. That's awesome.Comment

Ron Paul Supporters Chased by Mitt Romney at Oklahoma Republican State Convention

Ron Paul Supporters Chased by Mitt Romney at Oklahoma Republican State Convention
In what is an unorthodox turn of events, the Oklahoma Republican Convention has reconvened in the parking lot of the Embassy Suites in Norman, Okla. The state convention was held today inside the Embassy Suites with party officials calling for an adjournment at or around 5 p.m.
From early in the day, old guard Republicans refused to conduct the official meeting according to established Republican Party rules. Party officials adjourned the convention without concluding scheduled party business and without the support of the delegates in attendance. Under parliamentary procedure, the chairman presiding over the meeting is present to keep order as opposed to leading the meeting according to a personal agenda.
Several hundred Oklahoma Republican delegates reconvened the meeting outside of the hotel in accordance with Republican Party rules. At time of publication, the meeting continued outside in the parking lot under darkening skies.
The meeting appears to have remained relatively calm despite predictions from the now suspended Santorum campaign that "[At the Oklahoma Republican State Convention, this Saturday] there will assuredly be a passionate struggle for control of the convention, the national delegation, and the party's future."
A likely Ron Paul supporter commented, "I'm amazed at the level of composure, civility, and organization among these people in the parking lot."
In what has grown into a contentious race, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's campaign has resorted to tricks that are not usually used by a presumptive front runner against other members of his party.
The Oklahoma State Convention was scheduled to choose another 25 delegates to the Republican National Convention today. Of the delegates chosen to date, approximately 60% are supporters of Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
Over the past few weeks, Romney's campaign has suffered great losses in the face of a surging Paul campaign. The Romney campaign's aggressive reaction to Paul's recent success suggests the Texas Congressman is doing better than most in the media had initially realized. Republican delegates will meet August 27 in Tampa, Florida to choose a nominee. If Romney's campaign cannot recover, it risks losing the Republican nomination.Comment

Protesting really doesn't work. You have to systematically get into the political system en mass to change anything. I think people are figuring that out. I think we are going to see a lot of long-time career politicians hit the skids this November. People aren't as passive as they were a few years ago and the same old bullshit doesn't seem to be selling.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Paul just announced that he's not focusing his money on primary contests but rather winning the delegations of the state conventions.Comment
