How Ron Paul achieves victory.
Forget the idea of third Parties, because, in this screwed-up Country, third Parties do not get into the debates, they do not even get on all the State ballots, and the U.S. Media treats them as a total irrelevance.
For Ron Paul to be our President, he needs to win the GOP Nomination outright.
So, given where things stand now, just how does he do this?
What I hope can happen is a brokered convention senario, in which Romney, McCain, Huckabee split up delegates so evenly that there is no one single 'winning' candidate. Guiliani drops out in disgrace after being unable to win either Florida or New York.
Ron Paul remains the well-funded tortise in the race. His message continues to reach more and more people, and his support continues to grow, along with his grassroots fundraising. As the other GOP candidates, like Thompson & Guiliani, fall by the wayside and drop out of sight, Ron Paul begins to get more and more face time in the reamining debates. He becomes impossible to ignore anymore. A shift begins to emerge where Ron Paul begins to win primary States as it becomes clear now to the masses that Paul is the only honest GOP guy standing on that stage. A split delegate senario becomes inevitable.
As the brokered convention unfolds, infighting and confusion occur within the GOP establishment about throwing their weight to either Romney or McCain or even Huckabee. The chaos is not easily resolved as Romney has too much invested, McCain polls too strongly, and Huckabee commands the all-important evangelical voting block. The GOP establishment is trapped in division and confusion.
While the infighting continues, Ron Paul brings to the convention enough delegates to be a factor and a Party kingmaker. The establishment candidates try hard to woo over Ron Paul delegates, but the Ron Paul delegates are too principled. They continue to demand changes to the Party platform to go back and follow the Constitution (consistent with Ron Paul's own message) and end the War. Instead of getting wooed by the other candidates, the Ron Paul delegation begins to win the policy debate, and it is they who grow in number right in front of the Convention hall.
Huckabee delegates are peeling off and switch over to Ron Paul. Defections also come from the Romney and McCain camps as well. The Mainstream Media is horrified, but the GOP Establishment can't control the bleeding any more. We have taken over the GOP Convention.
Votes are taken. Ron Paul finally emerges with a consensus majority of delegates. The Mainstream Media panics and switches away from coverage and immediately pumps up coverage of Hillary Clinton. A Revolution has just occurred that most Americans are not even aware of. The GOP establishment is in disarray. Ron Paul has been nominated and the century old era of high corruption has been delt a severe blow. American citizens wake up to news that HIllary Clinton will be facing Ron Paul and suddenly become interested in what's going on. Instinctively, they realize something very unusual has happened. Ron Paul wasn't supposed to win, but there now he stands.
The 2008 Election will no longer be about "war on terror", "torture", "gay marriage", or even band-aides for our broken economy. The 2008 Election will now be about the unspoken topics of high corruption and corporate monopoly that has overtaken this Nation since 1913, and the excessive militarism, bankruptcy, and oppression that has existed here ever since. NAFTA and the North American union are forced to become front and center issues.
Hillary Clinton is no match for that debate. She twists in the wind as Ron Paul redefines for our Country, a Constitutional Republic based upon presevering Liberty, National Sovereignty, Peace, and Prosperity that is free from the clutches of profiteering International bankers, War mongers, and World resource Pirates.
This is how Ron Paul becomes our President.
Accept nothing less!

Ron Paul'08
Hear! Hear!
Someone on here is always posting about the power of visualizing things to make them come true. This statement that you have so eloquently written is something I will try my hardest to make reality. Thank you for sharing this dream, well said.
Thanks!
Thanks for all of your efforts and hard work.
It is really making a difference.
Ron Paul has already gone from being just an asterik, to now being a real factor with a growing block of GOP delegates. It is happening, slowly, but step by step. Ron Paul will be one of the candidates still standing after Feb 5.
We can do this!

I love you people
All the hard work we put in here in Nevada I saw pay off first with the Silver Second, but much bigger in clearing out the negativity that had shrouded the wires since New Hampshire. This thread shows a lot of insight, and I think it's close to the truth with 1 major exception: I think the Huckster is a husk. I think the strong States Rights sentiment in the southern states is going to pull the evangelical support right out from under him. Also Slick Mitt isn't slick enough to pull broad support in states with no Mormon spine like Nevada and Utah have, which I think will become more and more apparent very quickly. I think this is going to whittle down to Paul vs. McCain rather fast. If the Florida Revolutionaries stick to the issues of Rons strong record on protecting Social Security, securing our borders and his medical background then I think the strong voter turnout among the elderly could bring a very big surprise out of Florida (Unless Diebold pulls a fast one).
Ron Paul vs McCain
McCain's record is coming out about his "real" military duty!
And also, I'd have to look for the page but his wife's company would have benefited from the "amnesty" of illegals which is never mentioned, at least, I haven"t heard it anywhere. She inherited a Distribution company that distributes alcohol that the Spanish (Mexicans, maybe others) are rather fond of.
More "amnesty" in the works:

Ron Paul can beat McCain in a 1 on 1
I think Ron Paul can effectively hang the 100 year Iraq Occupation around John McCain's neck and beat him handily if it ever became isolated into a one on one race.
My guess is that Huckabee is going to fall away, but Mitt Romney has the $$$ and the establihsment chits to last forever. I don't see him resigning.
Brokered Convention or Bust!
We have to take control of the GOP Convention!
Well-funded Tortise.
I liked that line...
And then...
we have another money bomb to purchase the best security known to man. Lets face it. If Ron does win...there are going to be some very VERY pissed off people. And i think we all know who that is.
