They like to project delegates based on popular vote.  Does not work like that.  Current internal count at the very worst suggests Romney at 93, Ron Paul 82 then Gingrich followed by Santorum in the last place.

Thousands of Kansas Citians packed Union Station to see Paul this weekend. http://fox4kc.com/2012/02/19/kansas-citians-show-support-for-ron-paul/

Candy Crowley is terrible. 

Estimated delegates…. ESTIMATED not awarded.. Ron Paul is the true GOP Republican contender against Obama from what I can see. Thousands upon thousands of supporters on the streets at the rally’s and just everywhere in about all 50 states. The more the Media bashes Ron Paul the Stronger he seems to grow. -just my opinion

Paul is honing his speak a bit finally in answer to the ridiculous questions of these tv talking heads. Was it just me or were Crowley’s questions hitting a new level of irrelevance and outright stupidity?
I thought Paul steered it back to the issues well and was more concise in his redirection hitting his points better than ever. Paul has the message hands down.  Can you imagine if he could speak it like the slicksters he is running against while taking a chunk out of these shills?

 Look at all the Paul supporters (Stoners) they have to cry and whine about delegates, because they can’t even win a single popular vote even in a volatile primary.  Little anti-Semitic Paul won’t even win his home state. Reminds me of Al Gore. Go back to the Democrat party you hacks, where you belong. 

RON PAUL = EPIC FAIL

Since Mediaite doesn’t have a Thumbs-Down, 
Register your disgust with the above post by From_My_Cold_Dead_Hands by liking this post.

The real delegate count has Paul in 2nd behind Romney.  How the media does not pick up on this is beyond me.  I think Dan Abrams needs to write another article about how the media cannot even follow a basic delegate count estimate.

 Indeed, if you believe Ron Paul= Anti-Semitic racist old loon, who is terrified of banks, a strong military and wants meth, heroin and crack to be perfectly legal.

THEN LIKE THE ABOVE POSTED.

 John, the media is crapping its pants over Ron Paul. Just think… if we had a president who actually told the public to start thinking for itself, to question corruption in the media, in government, to be more powerful as individuals through SCRUTINIZING elected officials and media propaganda, there would be whole new game in America which would render the current puppet masters obsolete. If we were lucky, a few might even find themselves behind bars for messing with and deceiving a whole population.

Ron Paul scares people like this “Cold Dead Hands” dude here in the comments as well. His honesty and ethics concerning public policy, money, war, social engineering, religious battles labeled as “foreign policy” (Middle East Crusades reenactment), the Oligarchy, etc etc.. is exactly what America needs to hear and to DEAL WITH.

An informed and aware population will not allow slimy and corrupt politicians, bakers, etc to run the country any further down the toilet than it is already.

 Hey, Cold Dead Hands, isn’t that Icon you are using next to your user name a shield from the Crusades? Are you still living that battle? Ya know, I heard recently that someone is having some success with the development with a time machine.

Wanna take a trip? They’re looking for volunteers..

THOUSANDS!?! No worries then, he’s in!

(?)

The “real” delegate count? I knew Paulistas were delusional, but this is a new one.

Where does this supposed “real” delegate count come from? Oh maybe the Paul campaign?

The longer, the non-Paul supporters stay ignorant the better, we can keep collecting delegates.  In the age of Kali, connivers must be countered with cunningness.  

I’m not going to vote for Paul, but it’s interesting how he’s using the delegate system tweaked to help Romney to potentially stay in the race until the convention. I also think Romney may have robbed Maine from Paul. 

Paul is great at pointing out important political problems but he’s bad at offering viable solutions, in my opinion. Without serious support from independents, I don’t see how he can get the GOP nomination since the mainstream Republicans aren’t backing him. In the end, the GOP kingmakers will rally behind someone other than Paul. He may have done better as a 3rd party candidate. 

Prediction: He’s going to be an independent candidate after losing badly here.  His loyal followers, and a network, is already in place for him to do just that. He will be running against Romney and Obama, and Obama will win re-election.

You are out of your element Don.

You, like most of our media, have no clue to how the delegates are decided in unbound states.

I agree with you.  He may not be a good person to solve these problems, but he has ideas and brings a lot to the conversation.

Hopefully.

The problem still remains.  If he has to work the loophole in the system in order to get the nomination, how could he possibly win a general election?

The only thing I have to agree with paulbearers on is that ron paul should get more airtime. It seems every time he does open his mouth, he digs himself into his grave. It is embarrassing to listen to him and hear not only the stupid ideas he has, but saying complete ,100% lies. If you want fascism, tyranny,totalitarianism, then vote for ron paul. He is a true nazi. If you want all your freedom’s, liberty’s, democracy taken away from you and want to live in a 3rd world country, then vote for ronnie paul. He is the most despicable creature ever to run for president.

Paul talks on issues as if you was a 3rd grader. It shows that that is his intelligence and maturity level.

Paul supporters are the minority……the majority of Americans want anybody but paul. It’s the opposite, the more paul opens his stupid mouth, the more Americans see through his lying demeanor and get his true hidden agenda.

How do you mean no solutions? Or did you mean no solutions that allow the same mess to continue, but appear to be dealing with the core problems like everybody else proposes. I find cutting a trillion from the budget to be absolutely a terrific way to start, bring the trrops home from pointless wars, what’s wrong with that? End the crazy war on drugs that has put so many in jail that now the US has more per capita in jail than any other country in the world, all that sounds might fine to me…End the Patriot act that allows law enforcement to write their own warrants, stop the NDAA which allows US citizens to be arrested and help indefinitely without trail or representation, even if they have been tried and found innocent they can still be detained indefinitely,  end SOPA…. I could go on, the man has nothing but great solutions.

I would be very interested to hear what your viable solutions would be to these pressing issues?

How can you call him a liar? Of all things he is not a liar, he is the only one to stand up and say what has to be said and says the same thing to every crowd, not like the likes of Santorum or Romney or Obama, who do not say what they believe, but what they believe will be popular. I call that lying. Look at Dr. Paul’s voting record, he has 30 years of voting as he said he would ! Not once has he lied in all that time.

But then I imagine you get your opinion from the media coverage, and Dr. Paul’s solutions do not suit the media at all as they feed off of the system as it is so they do everything they can to ignore him or ridicule him or twist his words, very convenient for the rest to have the propaganda machine working against Dr Paul, the status quo hate him because he would stop their gravy train that YOU are paying for!

THRILL-ION $ is a weapon pointed on real values of USA.
Your home value,your buying power,your social status is actualy
your interest.Even if you have nothing at all, your buying power
is dependant on value of one $.Bush,Obama and FED have used
THRILL-ION $ regulary because overspending in wellfare and
warfare.This debt is going to be burden not on generation who
overspend but to young ones.Why young suport Ron is because
they are informed for”bright future”which will be so grandiouse
and great …like Moonlandia.Point is that when $ meltdown happens
Americans will dont need to go throught Communist revolutions
or Facist regimes.In this respect Ron Paul allready won harts and
minds of generation who will have to implement Freedom project.

You write as if you “was” a 3rd grader.  Paul’s ideas actually have substance behind them.  You can easily find what his policy changes actually entail.  There is very little substance behind what any of these other people say.  It is merely sound bites. Paul has to speak in sound bites only because people (and the media) can’t stomach more than two sentences on a given topic.   

How about instead of slandering Dr. Paul you provide some evidence to enlighten us all.  How about you show us how he has lied.  How about you show us how flawed his policies really are.  Not just hearing the title of his plan and then telling us how it’s wrong.  Why not dig into what the plan itself is made of.  Then break it down.  I can tell you one of two things would happen if you did that:  You would become a fervent supporter of him, which is how most of us got to this place. (We actually invested time into research)  Or you are aware of the fallacy in your methods and perpetuate it maliciously to the detriment of your neighbor.   

Ron Paul is an actual fiscal conservative and is very much a part of what the republican party is meant to stand for. I may not agree with the vast majority of his positions but to pretend he’s a democrat because he doesn’t have hard right Christian Neocon policies is absolutely absurd.

It’s a travesty that states don’t have the right to discriminate against Blacks or Hispanics or Gays or Jews, etc… in restaurants, theatres, auto repair shops, etc.. Go Ron Paul. Wooohoooo!!

I like Ron Paul I like what he has to say and I think it’s disgraceful that the media ignores him, but he is far too ideological for me.  I think good ideas could stem from ideology, but you cannot lead with ideology.  I believe that a good leader has to be agile in philosophy.  Ideology can often blind us to other peoples ideas.

Ron Paul is a fine man and a patriot, and he does indeed stick to hhis positions, if you guys can get him on the ticket in either spot I will go for it. 

I suggest he start talking about how commander-in-chief Paul would deal with a real shootig war with Iran, because it is almost inevitable that Iran and Israel will be  at war before the election and it wont just be a case of airstriking the nukes. Right now Israels destruction is almost guaranteed.

However the libertarian movement is here to stay if we manage to get this maniac out of office. There will probaly not be a single Democrat left standing by 2016.

Romney/West
Thank you Mr Beck you are a patriot
God Bless youAgent Terry your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Sandusky and the Orca from seaworld could beat Obama, by november he will have lost every human Democrat in the country leaving him with the scu msking communis t union pigs.

Romney West
Thank you Mr Beck, you are a patriot
God Bless you agent Terry your sacrifice wont be in vain.

Americans are becoming more informed every day and will be very informed by election day.

Romney/West
thank you Mr Beck you are a patriot
God Bless you Agent Terry you acrifice wont be in vain.

He has already demolished the over/under on how long he would last.

Keep on truckin Paul Guys. Paul and his supporters are a class act.

Romney/West
Thank you Mr Beck, you are a patriot
Rest in Peace  Agent Terry, your sacrifice will not be in vain.

If you want to call the Electoral College a “loophole system” be my guest.  But there have been Presidents who have won the nomination because they got the most delegates and not necessarily the most popular votes.

I think it would be only appropriate if Paul won the nomination because he was the only candidate to actually pay attention to the election rules of our constitution.

“agile in philosophy”

I think Mitt Romney is your man.

Lies? True hidden agenda? What do you know that the rest of us don’t?

If talking like a third grader means not speaking political double speak to confuse the voters, then I guess he speaks like a third grader.

Never smoked a joint in my life. Never been a stoner. Pulling the anti-Semite card suggests to me that you’re a megaphony posting on blogs like this for Israel. How much do you get paid for that?

Romney is alright but I don’t see any advantages in picking him over Obama,

Move to Germany!!! I can’t believe people like you vote. Wake Up!!! Ron Paul is the only none establishment contender.

Yes, and your grammer is that of a 1st grader. Keep drinking your flourided tap water and remain STUPID!!!

Let me guess, a Mittons Romney supporter. Back another establishment guy, your a real winner. Guys like you would have been hung in the 1800′s, for your un patriotic and unconstitutional views. People like you are nothing more than “Parrotts of the MEDIA”!!!

As for Gore, well lets just say that election was stolen from him. Keep in mind, that neither one was worth a crap, but never the less, both establishment contenders. Thats why nothing changes. A democrat brings in new policies and the republicans except them, the republicans empliment new policies, and the democrats except them. Sounds like thier on the same page…  hmmmm

just cos no one showed up to your birthday party

jews wear funny hats

I thought it came from yo mamas house

If only we had Pauls brain, in Santorums fab-u-lous body

Then I was all like , “YOU WAS 3RD GRADER THAT THAT THAT” and the comment section all wanted to come to my birthday party, but there were only so many seats at McDonalds

Geez santiamriver, if I didnt know any better I’d say your a Jew lover

I thought Jews owned all the Theatres, and the restaurant workers are all gay

You DIDDDD.  Well,how darling!!!

darn queers

Why cant the Paul hating trolls and democrat hating trolls go off and masturbate together somewhere?

troll alert

The problem is one key area he talks the least on is the economy.  The second problem is even if he could muster the support needed and beat President Obama, he still has Congress to fight across the board.  I agree his ideals he has are good.  But to achieve thos ends you have to have a strong united majority behind you sending a message to Congress to reform or else.

Here is the thing We the People face:  We have a Government that has defacto quit listening to the people which translates to in the end run taxiation without honest representation.  Both parties are in fact corrupt and the growing call out there to Fire the Bums reflects that at a grass roots base level.  The problem is that grass roots has no united front at present.  Most, the Independent Conservative to Moderate baseline really has no like of anybody on the GOP ticket.  The Democrats have only the same to offer and while some of these originally voted for President Obama, they in general do not like a lot of his policies at present.  You will never get anything of unity with the Tea Party whome most honest people would see as simply sell outs to the GOP even if they have differences with that Party.  Those of us who are not social conservatives have almost defacto dropped major support of the GOP over that aspect and find ourselves almost forced at times to vote Democratic even if that party itself is controled by the Liberals.  Most of us admire Ron Paul’s idealism.  But the hard fact is he simply does not have the needed support to beat President Obama or even take the GOP nomination.  Yes, he would have done better third party.  But the third party unless it can muster votes higher than the other two tends to simply end up favoring the Democrats in any election.  If you want to actually change this country you start by changing Congress via first off voting bums out of both parties and start sending a message to the rest of Congress we have had enough.  That in turn can and will alter the mindset of those running for President. 
Real change happens when people unite and do somthing via voting, via pertitions, and via getting involved locally.

Yea, boil it all down he is a Moderate trying to act like a Conservative.  He’d probably come across more honest if he just admitted that fact. 

Right now you have two parties out there taking all your freedoms away.  The GOP signed those bills that basically gutted the Constitution when it comes to illegal search and seazure.  The Democrats basically signed on to them also and keep defacto trying to violate other Bill of Rights issues.  Neither Party actually at present either does it’s job or deserves the support of any honest educated citizen.  My suggestion is go back to school and study the Constitution and America history before you make uneducated comments like that.

I suppose you be one of those who would give blanket support of a guy like Santorum who’d basically if he had his way set the rights of women back 200 years, force all our kids into religious schools, and in the end run gut the Constitution when it comes to seperation of State?  Or perhaps you are the type who seems Newt as the right stuff, running on a platform that supports family values when he himself is devoid of any and more like a male harlot.

That should have said: seperation of Church and State.

I’m not even a Paul voter and I find everything in your statement totally out to lunch.  You are perfect proof of the lack of education in voters today.
