Why Ron Paul supporters are just inventive, not Democrats in disquise. Just pick up the on how they picked up the Delegates at www.pressherald.com... You should be impressed, tricks right outta the Obama's Community Organizer playbook. Just what we need, Paul supporters using loopholes to try and get their man a podium at the Republican Convention, not that he will win, just a chance to speak at the convention....Check out the website.
The RNC, represented at the Nugget and watching the Paul folks dominate similar conventions across the country, would prefer an uneventful (read: choreographed) national convention where Paul delegates don’t boo Mitt Romney as he accepts the nomination or start a resolution revolution from the floor. Similarly, they were hoping for a relatively sedate Nevada Republican Party event this weekend, with the Paul folks leaving happy and the Romney contingent fairly represented on the national delegate slate (3 of 25!).
Instead what transpired Saturday was a microcosm of the war for the soul of the Republican Party, with orange-capped Romney captains patrolling the convention floor, motivated by a desire to keep the sheep in line, while more colorfully dressed Paul delegates destabilized the convention, animated by either a love of liberty or a love of black helicopters (hard to tell percentages.).
There is a certain sameness to all of these political conventions, Republican or Democratic: Inane floor fights over minutiae, impassioned delegates who arise and act as if they are the Robert in the Rules of Order, goofy resolutions to do something to someone.

If by some miracle Paul were to win the nomination I'm sure the Dems would be delighted. He didn't have the support of the Republican primary voters, he will be lucky to have the grudging support of the republican establishment, he will be opposed by the military-industrial complex, Wall Street, the international monetary system. Obama will be able to run to the right of him on a number of issues. He will be severely handicapped in fund raising compared to Obama. And he's an honest man and consequently a loose cannon which will damage his ability to run a national political campaign. He also has negative baggage, as well as baggage that can be construed as negative that hasn't been vetted yet on a national stage.

Erm, I thought that Romney is well on his way to being the Republican nominee?

I think Ron Paul adds some important elements to the political discourse, forcing all the candidates to at least superficially address subjects that would typically and conveniently be swept aside. By having Ron Paul continue in the race, all the candidates have to up the ante and give some kind of lip service to these issues.
I donated a couple hundred bucks to Ron Paul for this presidential campaign because he helps make all the other candidates get to the deeper stuff than standard mudslinging, but I cannot vote for Ron Paul because he wants to make massive overhauls or reforms to the country. It's just too much too fast. Healthy, ongoing changes are most often successful when implemented gradually and carefully. Ron just puts too much at hazard, almost as much as having a communist president whose inner circle aim is to bring down the system within a very Saul Alinsky strategy.

Its sad so many people do not know what a Constitutional Republic is and also that the founding fathers by and large loathed the idea of a democracy. Hence, the story of a lady asking Benjamin Franklin what kind of country was created, to which Franklin replied: “A Republic Ma’am… if you can keep it.”
