Ron's strategy from the get go was to spike the delegates into his camp. So far this has been pretty successful for the Paul campaign. Ron's campaign is exceptionally well organized with a LOT of boots on the ground. Ron's cornering of delegates has been going on for some time now...

Maine caucuses provide a window into Ron Paul delegate strategy - Election 2012 - The Washington Post
...illustrates the seriousness of this situation for the other three GOP prez candidates, ESPECIALLY the Romney camp which appeared oblivious to the Paul strategy. Despite the Maine delegate count being tossed out for a technicality, it's important to note that the Paul organization has this delegate roundup ALREADY in place in ALL 50 states. Like the popular vote/straw poles does not mean jack squat.
THE GRIZZLY TRUTH...
Ron Paul Winning the Battle for Delegates
...is found in the above link for the anti Paul crowd. This is no guarantee that Ron will make POTUS. But, personally knowing the fanatical support behind Ron Paul, if I had to bet a 1,000$ on which GOP candidate will take the GOP nomination... I'd put my 1,000$ on Ron Paul.
Apparently this corralling of 'double agent' delegates by Paul has been going on since or shortly after 08'. Incredible it's also legal as delegates can publicly back one candidate then vote for another. Actually this is exactly how president Obama gained the POTUS position... like politics is a dirty game... 2nd only to pedophilia!
If Ron does take the GOP nomination he has a tough fight against president Obama...

...who has a formidable array of supporters in his own corner. The only drawback at CURRENT for president Obama is his overall approval rating...

...which is at least a couple points anyway on the positive side. If Paul pulls it off & takes the nomination the GOP establishment is gonna be puking their guts out, like I'd love to see this one!!!
Yet I had to go 4 pages deep on USMB to find anyone even talking about Ron Paul. Face it, he can't win. The corporate media won't promote him enough and the GOP won't give him the nomination. He's got about as much market share as he is going to get.
What makes Ron Paul different than Bush or McCain or Romney or Clinton or Obama? He would audit the federal reserve. No one else in the Senate, House or White House will. Maybe some tea baggers signed his petition to audit the federal reserve, but I never saw no gold. And the Fed basically told our politicians to go fuck themselves.
This is why Republicans need to wake up to the fact that capitalism can be corrupted too. Us liberals on the left have been screaming that money has taken over our politics. That corporations and lobbyists use our politicians like puppets. The Bank bailout was the biggest bank robbery in US history, committed by the private bankers themselves. Wallstreet. Countrywide. Blue Cross. Shell. Bain Capital.
And privatizing the Federal Reserve and turning over our gold and finances to for profit private bankers is the biggest argument against Ron Paul's argument for unregulated free market capitalism. Republicans want to privatize everything. Look how the bankers have managed our money. $14 trillion debt and growing.
2 points: The federal reserve is already private.
A lot of that debt was run up by Democrats especially Obama.
Yes, and look at how well those private bankers did with our money.
The debt was run up by both democrats and republicans.
And most of what you call Obama's debt is actually Bush's, but as a right winger I know you can not admit that but please don't deny it. Makes you seem simple.
