Gingrich supporters like Paul

That has been what I've found. Paul is probably 2nd choice amongst most Gingrich supporters. We need to keep that in mind, especially at a brokered convention, we can win Newt's delegates over during the second round of voting.

Great way to increase your donation....

See my post about a great way to increase your donation. If you like the idea please bump.

We'll take the votes.

Maybe some of them might even stay with the Ron Paul camp.

Either way it keeps the waters sufficiently muddied in the near term which is good for us.

We need the Santi Peeps to mimic this

genius.

When you are doing your standard conversion opener of finding where they currently stand-if they are all over santi reply-Me Too! That's why I am bringing all my friends to vote RON PAUL.

Should work great outside Catholic churches on Sunday.

Open discussion is Newt's enemy...

...and they know it. The article mentioned the newtgingrich360.com site, and I checked it out to see if it had forums -- and indeed it does. I was going to sign up, maybe see if I could ever so gently enlighten a few souls. (Though I have to admit being tempted to post a link to this Awesome Newt-Fan Video!) But the sign up procedure says the forums are only for Newt supporters, and requires you to affirm that you are a Newt supporter. Jeesh. If someone isn't sure who to support, I guess they're not allowed to register and ask questions in the newt echo chamber. And if someone who isn't a Newt supporter might be able to bring them a bit of truth? They'll be having none of that!

Gee foo, couldn't you claim to

be Newt curious and do the affirmation.

I'll swear that you were exhibiting signs of one time, extremely temporary insanity. :-)

Go Get'em!

LOL

"Newt curious" - that has disturbing alternate meanings.

The affirmation is a "yes"/"no" selection. No other options.

But it just occurred to me that they only said you had to be a "newt supporter". I don't think it said exactly what you had to support him for. Maybe I could support him for the new (nonpaid of course) position of White House Jester. Or maybe dunk tank victim. Or guinea pig for new interrogation techniques to determine which ones are torture. I had no idea how much I support Newt!

See, a little creative interpretation

of the meaning of "supporter" and you're in the inner sanctum of da NEWT.

start a chain reaction

This could lead to more votes for Paul from Santorum supporters and tea partiers if this idea gets out in Virginia. Lets help push it out there online.

The media says Paul is no threat so in the minds of these people voting for him is just taking away delegates from Romney making it easier for Santorum or Gingrich at the convention.

This is great!

We (the grassroots) need to also make a strong push for Virginia. That would give us a real boost in delegates.

newt's "faith leaders dream team". i think this is very funny.

you'll NEVER see dr. paul promoting himself in this way.

Newt for Paul

This is good for us if Paul has a strong showing and really needs over 50% to capture most of delegates. As said, this is more of a defensive move against Romney to slow him and not real support for Paul. For there to be any sort of

1. Newt needs to retract his statement that the Constitution should die. He also should recognize there are 3 branches of government, and he has no right to get rid of judicial branch judges that don't agree with him.

2. Newt should proclaim his current wife Callista to be until death do us part, even if she gets sick.

3. Newt should ask the ethics committee to release all documents regarding his ethics violations investigation, rather than threatening ethics violations for exposing them. This information will be leaked if he were to make it to the general election anyway, might as well get it out into the open now.

4. Newt should acknowledge that we can't afford a moon colony or state funded by the government. While this would be a novelty, it could only be accomplished by private funding and not realistic to promise by his (wishful) second term as president.

5. Forgiveness for past sins by the father is fine for his own conscious, but when seeking high office to lead the "free" world, he must answer to the people also. Arrogance does not mean or demand automatic forgiveness.

If he would agree to all of these terms, I may consider him acceptable for a position under RP to help us. While I think Newt has grandiose ideas, some of which might be good, I believe he is in this to help Newt and not the people. If he can change that perception, I would consider it but not unless Paul is the leader to make sure he stays honest.

Why stop there Newt?

Drop out now for the race entirely and tell what few supporters you have left to support Ron Paul. When Ron Paul wins the nomination, you can claim it was your doing and feed that huge ego.

It may not be the truth in our reality, but in Newt's moonbase pipedream reality, he can pat himself on the back for Dr. Paul's win. What more could his giant Stay-Puft ego ask for?

How about...

A fourth wife? Of course for that to happen, his current wife would have to come down with some kind of life threatening disease.

WE HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!

Us Paul supporters go through a lot of crap with the media & the elite...when I read the comment above I laughed so hard! That was so true..so good...& so funny! We all have such a sense of humor! Guess we need it to keep plugging along! Thanks again(I keep picturing Gingrich as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters..lol)

I got a feeling....

..that if they knew how many delegates Ron actually has, they probably would't do this.

I support him and even I dont

I support him and even I dont know how many he has.

The more the merrier. Once

The more the merrier. Once truth hits them, they cannot go back.

That's cool, but they weren't

That's cool, but they weren't organized enough to get Newt on the ballot....so they probably won't affect the outcome

REMEMBER

Guys remember to roll cameras at all voting stations and prove how many people are voting for ron paul..remember all the electronic voting machines are easily hacked..The powers that be are going to try to lie about the true votes..stay stong!

Bad game plan

This is gonna bite them right in the butt. Ron Paul is contagious Gingrich wont get his crew back. LOL

Oh....

I can't wait till we win and the media praises Gingrich and Santorum for making Romney lose.

"I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” B. Franklin

hahahaha

the headlines Mitt loses Virginia, or for the pro Romney media Mitt comes a close second

"Newt Gingrich and Rick

"Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum Win Virginia By Proxy"

The article confuses "proportional" delegate allocation

In fact, Virginia is winner-take-all by Congressional district and statewide. Technically the statewide delegates (13) would be proportional, but if a candidate gets 50% then they take them all. Since there are only two candidates, one of them will get 50% and take all the statewide delegates.

Ron's best chance to win any delegates is to win a Congressional district. The best opportunity is the Richmond district because it is heavily Democratic and the few Republicans can be overwhelmed in an open primary. The 2 Washington suburbs districts are also Democratic but not as much.

Delegates?

Playing the same strategy as RP by voting for RP and switching sides at a brokered convention?

It's all strategy

For Newt and Santorum, they would 100% rather see Paul win, than to give any win and any delegates to Romney.

It will be much like Missouri without Newt in the race, Santorum got Newts votes and Romney had no chance.
