I love the way Ron Paul fanatics think. In a state like Missouri where they got less than 10% of the vote and caucus delegates, they use every parliamentary trick in the book to try to take over the process of selecting delegates for the national convention, then whine about the people not being heard when the slates of the folks who got most of the votes are chosen instead.


Of course, they couldn't do that if Republicans hadn't chosen a process where there was both a primary and a caucus, in which the results of the primary counted for absolutely nothing and the delegate nominated in the caucuses aren't bound to vote for anyone and who are only there to chose other delegates, under the close supervision of establishment Republican officials, who will go to the National Convention, again not bound to vote for anyone on even the first ballot.

Working as intended.

I hope that RP comes to Wisconsin, since my wife (voted for Obama) and myself (didn't vote) have both gotten behind him 100%. I believe its a movement, she still thinks of him as a candidate. Either way, were thrilled to support him in Wisconsin in two weeks.
