Not that you'd ever hear the mainstream media report on that ... they're too busy harping on Romney getting most of the delegates there. But will they ever say how Ron Paul got most of the delegates in Maine or North Dakota or Minnesota or Nevada or Iowa even though he didn't win the popular vote? Not a chance in hell.

Yes it's the media, that's the ticket. The media is the reason Paul picked up a solid 6% yesterday. Even if Paul goes to the convention his voice is mute and his point is moot. Rebel had the good sense to drop that loser he was backing and GTS it's about that time.

Discussions of "good sense" coming from you? Hehe.

You should drop the loser that you're backing, when you look at the damage he's done.

I think it's admirable (and principled) when people support their favorite candidate until it's "officially" over, no matter how grim the prospects. Besides, even though Paul has no shot in winning the nomination, his message has resonated with a good number of people in 2008, and especially 2011/2012, and that the exposure could be a good thing in the future. Let's face it, those who favor a social liberal/fiscal conservative/non-interventionist foreign policy platform - and there are many - have precious few champions within both major parties.

I'm happy for him and in the future he might be Vice President.

So when Paul scams Romney and Santorum out of Caucus votes its cool, but when it happens to him its not cool?

Seems pretty desperate when you are getting excited over a popular vote win in a non-state with 254 total votes cast. If only the primary and general elections were done online.....

It isn't a scam when you work with what you are given. If Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich voters are not getting delegates, it is because their own champions didn't inform them well enough on how the system works AND the citizens (whose duty is to be well-informed in the first place) made no effort on their own part to become informed.

Don't blame the people who end up bearing fruit from a system that was against them in the first place.
