About That GNP thingie ....

And the obviously drunk lady that was running for Nevada National GOP Committeewoman giving her speech ....

Dream on. It would NEVER happen, even if he were to be elected. This mess CANNOT be changed by one man. It cannot be changed in one term or even a decade. These are long term problems that require long term thinking and long term solutions. It was short term thinking that got us where we are.

An ENTIRE district?

One man has many ideas, and a virtual army that is changing the face of a party. What the hell do you want?

Forget I asked.

And Ron Paul supporters resoundingly elect both their preferred Nevada National GOP Committeeman and Committeewoman representatives .... in a pair of landslides ....

What do I want? Reality. Real world experience.

Virtual army? I doubt that. Besides, when push comes to shove, no 'virtual army' will help. It is going to take a real one, and soon. I have been around WAY too long to believe in fairy tales and pipe dreams. Just my opinion.

I hope Paul wins. It would be 'fun' to watch. I won't vote for him, but it would be fun. I am writing in a vote this time. I no longer settle.

Some choice tidbits of Nevada GOP convention coverage from an attending Mitt Romney supporter:

Paulee: Just the worst day of my life .... They tooks over ... Won the chairperson for the convention by 4 votes ...

Paulee: stop us every turn ... It was a disaster....

Paulee: Not one man stood for rules being challenged ..... I finally told the chair HE was out of order.... (rlent editorial comment: and how did that work out for ya ?)

Paulee: It was so upsetting....

Paulee: I am ok .... but went so badly ...

And right now, at a popular site for one of the two remaining candidates for the GOP nomination, we currently have said candidate's supporters screaming about how there was "fraud" (is that a conspiracy theory ?) .... and whining about how the "process" at the Nevada GOP convention is "unconstitutional" ....

Too funny .... but it's a bit of "poetic justice" I suppose ....

A Robamneyite busted for circulating false and misleading delegate slates .... and caught on video when he runs to a cop to prevent himself from being taped while being questioned about his actions:

Another quick clip of this character who refuses to identify himself:

Like Turtle I saw Romney on TV yesterday and didn't seem too worried about anything. Paul is scoring some points which will possibly push a official lockup to May 29th. What he is scoring in a few states doesn't appear to change much of anything at this point.

But keep in mind that some of those delegates are unbound and may not vote for the robot when the time comes. Others will have to, but will abandon the robot if it doesn't win on the first ballot.

Also he should keep in mind that a bound delegate doesn't necessarily have to vote - they can abstain .....

What if something happens (or comes to light ) between now and August, that causes a bound delegate to reconsider whether or not Romney is actually politically viable ?

The RNC has sent their lawyer, Tim Morgan, to the Nevada Convention to make sure that all goes according to their desired plan ....

That could happen but it would likely throw candidates that suspended their campaign to jump back in which is highly unlikely. Santorum would be the go to guy there based on delegate counts and that wouldn't be good.

 

[RLENT]

Dunno if this has merit .... but if it does, it may eventually be a problem:

Romney Camp Dismissive of Ponzi Accusations - ABC News

Tagg Romney, Solamere, and His Father's Money : The New Yorker

And it wouldn't be hard real hard to understand why Mittens would want control over various law enforcement agencies to cover his tracks ....

 

[davekc]

That has been around for quite some time and never amounted to much. Democrats were all over it and didn't come back with anything.

Ahhh .... ok ....

Santorum would be the go to guy there and that wouldn't be good.

Yes .... it wouldn't be good .... but I'd agree: it's highly unlikely that either he or Newt would jump back after suspending ....

You read the New Yorker piece already ? (It's from 5 days ago)

Apparently Tagg Romney didn't have it quite right ....

 

[davekc]

It is a newer article with information that was reported quite some time ago. At this point it doesn't look like much of a deal buster.

Dr. Ron Paul sweeps the Nevada GOP Convention with 13 out of 13 (at large ?) delegates ....
