Tag: Ron Paul (page 2)By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
Eric Fehrnstrom, Mitt Romney's communications director, laid down a beauty on CNN this morning (full video available here):

So, is it a 274 delegate margin, a 233 delegate margin, a 173 delegate margin, or a 116 delegate margin currently separating Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum? How deeply is Newt Gingrich locked into third place? And if Ron Paul's been mathematically eliminated from a statistically certain pre-convention majority, then why is he still campaigning? We know the answer to the third question (at least we think we do), but those first two aren't mere academic questions, and answering them might help in understanding why Anuzis and his Backroom Band are sticking to the meme that Romney is supposed to get both of Michigan's at-large delegates to this summer's national convention . . . in spite of all the verifiable evidence otherwise.
And while we're at it, we're going to connect a few dots and see what we see.

When it comes to conspiracy theories, I tend to take the advice God gave his prophet, Isaiah: "I'm warning you! Don't act like these people. Don't call something a rebellious plot, just because they do, and don't be afraid of something, just because they are. I am the one you should fear and respect. I am the holy God, the LORD All-Powerful!" (Isaiah 8:11-13, CEV)
But I gotta tell you; some of the "off the radar" developments swirling around on the periphery of the Michigan Dele-Gate fiasco have me wondering just what the hell is going on behind the curtains in those back rooms. And specifically one development has me intrigued.

If we're to believe the drive-by mainstream media (Such as The Ticket, Politico, Washington Post, Reuters, Associated Press, and CNN among others), then this here republican presidential primary is all but a done deal. With all that orange on the map below, everyone else should just quit now. Michigan's native son is the only one with a clear path to victory, so let's just call it good and move on to the general campaign.
Apparently Team Romney has never heard of a guy named Yogi Berra, or the concept of there being a reason that we actually play the games.

The media elites (to say noting of the party elites) would love to have you believe their line that Romney's wins in Michigan and Arizona last night have him back in command of the primary contest heading into Super Tuesday, where ten states await him. Their meme is that, though the win in Michigan was ugly and close, Romney is now the presumptive nominee; it's just a matter of how long it's going to take to clear the rest of the field.
The reality, however, is so much messier.

As I sit here waiting for the Kent County Commission Districts 12 and 13 return to come in, I thought that I'd share with you some fun I had at my polling place earlier today.

Most people don't like the word "conspiracy" being tossed around when talking about American politics, so I won't use it.
But something's fishy about the way conservative talk radio show hosts are covering the GOP nomination process. I have been researching this topic and emailing media contacts for a few months now about Mitt Romney's financial connections to Clear Channel Radio and conservative talk show hosts like Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. What I found out was that Bain Capital actually purchased the syndication companies of major conservative talk radio shows shortly prior to the 2008 presidential election. Here's a great article about that: CLICK HERE More below ~ (1 comment, 279 words in story) Full Story By jgillmanjr, Section News

http://www.wlns.com/story/16992890/ron-paul-to-appear-at-msu-monday Uh oh... don't tell Newt. I mean Nate. He probably doesn't like it when Campus Conservatives throws big events with some big names like Ron Paul and John Stossel. Shame I won't be able to go to the event tomorrow as I'm working. I would love the chance to have a little back and forth with CPT Paul on the issue of defense.. (3 comments) Comments >>
