this is pretty funny stuff and a real blow to Mitt (Liar) Rmoney.

Ron Pauls presidential strategy is working at least it did in Maine and Nevada Sunday, where he won the most number of delegates at state party conventions.
If most Republicans and pundits consider Mitt Romney the all-but-nominated champion to take on Barack Obama in this years presidential election, Rep. Pauls army of enthusiastic and determined backers beg to differ.
In fact, theyre not begging at all but pounding at the gates of conventional political thinking. All thats missing are the torches and pitchforks.
Pauls method is to hold the Republican Party to its often-arcane delegate selection rules, especially in state party conventions.

Paul appears to have done well in many other states like Iowa and Louisiana also.

Who needs to campaign for votes or make public appearances or any of that shit when you can just have your goons infiltrate party chairmanships on a local level??

(6,336 posts)I'm amused by watching the Paulites infiltrate the local parties, but I think that Democrats need to be just as active at the local level.

(550 posts)but I really hate the idea of having the Paulites anything more to trumpet about. Taking the wind out of THEIR sails would do the most good for all of us, considering that Mitt's supporters are downright lackadaisical compared to the Cult of Paul-sonality. President Obama's going to steamroll either of them, but the less I see of the Paulites, the better.
