I was reading that a substantial portion of the people signed on for Ron Paul right now are registered independent and thats not going to help him when only registered republicans can sign on for him in the primary
Actually polling data showed a lot of Dems and Independants voted for Paul... Because they want Obama to win the election. You wont get that little nuggest from the troll though.

No real need to fight back, BT is proving to everyone right now that he is nothing but a troll, if he actually believed any of this garbage he would gladly do this. He isnt stupid, he knows Paul stands less of a chance of getting elected than I do.

The votes last night mean zip in who actually win the delegates.
As noted in the article, the vote last night was essentially another straw poll. The votes are certainly a winnowing effect for candidates as we will likely see Bachman and possibly Perry call it quits already. But Romney won nothing more than a vote, he has zero delegates from Iowa at this point.
The real power is in the delegates elected to the county caucuses, and then those who are elected to district, and from district to state. If Ron Paul supporters as a whole managed to get more delegates elected to move on to the county caucus than other candidates, then at the country level they then have the voting power to ensure they send more of them to district than other candidates. And if they have the numbers at district...they get to elect delegates to state.
Now, that said, that is still best case scenario for Ron Paul.
If Romney supporters and Santorum supporters who may have gotten a smaller number of delegates elected to go to country worked together to elect each other at the county level to district and then from district level to state, and made a pact to support whoever was winning by the time the state convention is convened, even though Ron Paul may look to have the upper hand at this moment for country delegate support, that does not necessarily equate to him getting more to district or to state.

I have no faulty logic, I know Paul stands zero chance of winning. BT also knows this but to further his trolling he wont admit it. You probably werent around long enough but BT used to be a huge liberal troll until that got to be no fun. If BT is serious about thinking Ron Paul will win he should have no problem with this little wager. My guess though is that his trolling far outweighs his love of Ron Paul so he never takes this bet.
He will just keep making excuses the more Paul loses. When he loses in NH, it will be because of the news media, but Paul will pull it out somewhere else. When he fails in that place it will be because space aliens sent by government agents caused the pollling computers to malfunction and it will all be better in the next state... It will go on and on but in the end its all the same furthering of his trolling.

Romney will win. Â It is in the cards and BT's trolling against it doesn't change anything.

Ron Paul stands little to no chance to win because his numbers even within the GOP are really horrid, if he cant even get support from within the GOP he wont win. I realize in BT's case this is just trolling, but anyone that realistically thinks Ron Paul stands any chance at all is drinking too much kool-aid.
Ron Paul is the only shot the GOP has at winning the general election. The GOP fails to recognize that Ron Paul supporters are not going to support any other candidate but I think they are fine with that as Obama is practically a Republican himself. Plus, the only shot the GOP has at independent and moderate voters is Ron Paul. The rest of the candidates will get the Republican base only.
I do think it's in the best interest of the US for the Republicans to win this election because if we have another 4 years of Obama, there is going to be a lot more momentum to swing HARD right and who knows what kind of crazy the GOP will put up in 2016.

I don't understand the support for Romney. He is just like Obama, why would conservatives want Romney? Just another car salesman.
