Ron Paul is DOA after Iowa
Too bad New Hampshire will prove you wrong. Ron Paul is just getting started.

if Ron Paul could not eek out something stronger than a meager and weak third place finish in a caucus he will be in single digits in an actual Primary state where it is harder to concentrate his hardened supporters.
What is your definition of weak and meager?
Mitt Romney 30,015 24.6%
Rick Santorum 30,007 24.5%
Ron Paul 26,219 21.4%
Newt Gingrich 16,251 13.3%
Rick Perry 12,604 10.3%
Michele Bachmann 6,073 5%

I love it when Ron Paul people say they will teach this country a lesson by staying home on election day if hes not the Republican nominee. Just goes to show what a bunch of spoiled irrational babies most of them are. I predict no matter who the nominee is, he will be undermined by the Ron Paul people and lose in the general election to Obama.
Unless Ron Paul is the nominee, then Obama will just destroy him in a landslide anyway.

Mittens will get the nomination and will lose in the general election. Just like the Illuminati (AKA rich guys who care about politics) decided back in 2008.
Pretty much this -- unfortunately.

What? How does that make Ron Paul supporters "spoiled irrational babies"? People are sick of the status quo and that's all Romney is. It may or may not be a representative sample but most Paul supporters I've seen online said they will vote third party or write in Ron Paul if he isn't on the ticket. It's the only way to get your voice taken seriously IMO. You have to show that you will stick to your guns if the Republican Party wants to continue nominating terrible candidates, one after the other. Neo-conservatives have been in power in the Republican party for over 20 years now, and it obviously isn't working, why continue the trend?

Right now Romney is sitting in the Reagan seat. He may not be the ideal choice of most of his party, but he is most certainly 1000x better than what is sitting in the White House at the time. It won't matter if Conservatives think he isn't conservative enough. It won't matter if he is a Mormon and thus scares a portion of his base. So long as they can keep Ron Paul from running independent and acting as a spoiler Romney would be a fairly easy Republican win. Just so long as he doesn't have 3 living wives or 1 dead hooker somewhere in his closet.
if Ron Paul could not eek out something stronger than a meager and weak third place finish in a caucus he will be in single digits in an actual Primary state where it is harder to concentrate his hardened supporters.
Santorum pulled out a surprise in Iowa, but it took everything he had to do it, and there is very little chance of him doing it again. Yeah he is a strong "social issues" candidate. But you can only take that so far this year. I think his support was more a "go home byotch" to Bachmann than it was a show of support. Once again he will not do well in a general primary. He just doesn't have a sufficient machine in enough states.
Bachmann is done. She should never have been there to begin with. Every word out of her mouth was whiny amateur hour. she has no executive leadership experience and no clue. She proved herself a complete and foolish narcissist and probably set back women in politics for at least several election cycles.
Perry is done. He has already retreated to Texas.
Huntsman was never ever in the game, ever.
Pretty much all of this. We'll see how big a cry-baby Newt turns out to be, as well.

Newt is going to plunge a thousand daggers into Romney. It wont be enough to give it to Santorum.

I understand how you feel, irrational as it is. See, I dont think Dr Suess could come up with a more laughable candidate than Ron Paul. Even scarier, is that you Ron Paul fans might as well be David Koresh followers with your cult-like, tunnel-visioned devotion. I haven't seen such political devotion since Hitler.
I tell you what. If Ron Paul gets the nomination, I'll write in someone else or vote for Obama just to keep Ron Paul from getting access to the presidency and giving any confirmation to Ron Paul supporters. Not worth it.

Actually, you probably don't understand how I feel, because something remotely close to your ideal candidate has been nominated for the Presidency since 1992. The Republican model of the past 20 years... DOES NOT WORK.
And just so you know, people who make comparisons to Hitler, are generally considered the irrational ones..
