Did you know that in 1968 Hubert Humphrey was Democratic nominee and did not win a single primary?

I guess the real message is... anything is possible.

.
The star of the Democrat party, Bobby Kennedy, was killed during the primary season. Eugene McCarthy and his virulent anti-war message,divided a party that needed cohesion. Add to the mix, the riots that went on outside the DNC convention and Mayor Daley's ineptness at handling them. Humphrey was a candidate chosen in desperation because there was nobody else of any standing. He was considered a solid choice. The rioters outside chanted "Dump the Hump" but to little avail. He got the nod. Lost to Nixon that November.

Years later, Jimmy Carter introduce Mr. Humphrey as "Hubert Horatio Hornblower."

The perfect storm is brewing. McCain is on the ropes as Ron Paul waits patiently while he rests up and takes care of business back home. Romney has dropped out, and now Huckabee is calling for a brokered convention. Alot rides on Texas, and if you're telling me that the people of Texas are going to vote for John McCain over Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee, you are out of your mind! John McCain's record on illegal immigration alone will cause him to lose Texas.

In a general election, Ron Paul would beat Obama or Hillary in a landslide. The GOP would become, "born again." Pun intended.

Pray for a slow news cycle so the media can concentrate more on McCain's FEC problems, and the affair with the lobbyist scandal.

Saying that he was shooting for a brokered convention.It'll help Ron Paul alot.

You're not reading with understading. Read this again: "But with the party machinery and the convention controlled by his supporters, Humphrey was easily nominated in Chicago."

That's right - Humphrey's people CONTROLLED the DNC convention. Do Ron Paul's people control the RNC machinery?

and a few others dropped out.

The riots will be averted if a larger percentage of people become Ron Paul supporters---even if they already voted differently. This is why we need a LARGE March on Washington---very visible support. We need to keep on canvassing and talking to people everywhere about RP. Order those Ron Pauls at the bar---get people talking! Keep writing letters to the editoe of the local papers. Just keep on----we'll become like a dripping faucet---everyone will get used to hearing us. Don't give up on your friends and neighbors because the primary is over.

This will make the convention so much easier. If people can say, 'well I would vote for RP if the primary were today.'

I didn't know this but I think it is good news. But don't the super delegates have more say in the Democratic Party than in Republican?

Healthnuttie for Ron Paul

Keep this bumped or put it on the front page.

The riots will come from McCain and Huckabee supporters. They will not understand and will be furious.

"Donna Brazile says she will resign from the Democratic National Committee if superdelegates determine the party's nominee."
--Democracy at work

That'll be our guy....Except we may cause the riot.
