Has Ron Paul Lost Control Of His Followers?

 

By now, the Ron Paul campaign’s plan to storm the delegate selection process of smaller states is well-known. Paul’s camp first took the majority of delegates in Minnesota, and has since pulled off similar feats in Nevada, Louisiana and Maine—despite the fact that Paul didn’t win any of these caucuses*—with more states on the way. If Paul’s people gather enough delegate positions, and Mitt Romney doesn’t get the necessary number of delegates in the first round of voting at the Republican National Convention in August, these delegates could cause serious trouble for Romney…Read More

Mitt Romney swept Tuesday’s primaries, easily winning New York, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, and all but certifying his nomination for the Republican Party.

5 Things To Watch For In Tonight’s Primaries

 

Primaries! Stay excited people, there’s still plenty of politics to obsess over, as New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware and Connecticut vote tonight in the GOP presidential primary for a total of 231 delegates. (Don’t knock it; that’s 10% of the total.)

Here’s a rundown of what to watch for…Read More

Ron Paul’s Not Quitting Cuz Screw You

 

This clip features the two common arguments circulating round ye olde Reddit.com/r/ronpaul: that the libertarianish candidate’s big crowds are indicative of a groundswell—Paul has been attracting thousands at isolated events (though nowhere near the numbers Obama regularly drew in 2008)—and that he has more delegates than anybody realizes, as his supporters are trying to snatch up delegate positions to potentially wrest a few states at the GOP convention…Read More

Ron Paul’s Expensive Failure

Ron Paul still seems in it for the long haul, but more as a barnacle than a serious candidate. After 29 contests, Paul has only 51 delegates, fewer than 1/10 of those held by frontrunner Romney, and not even within striking distance of third-place Newt Gingrich, a zombie of a candidate. Gingrich can at least put a couple of states in his win column: Paul has not finished first in a single primary or caucus…Read More
