Ron Paul has to many enemies to win the Republican Nomination at an Open Convention in Tampa.

However, Ron Paul is one of the two keys, (Santorum being the other), to forcing an Open Convention in Tampa.

Ron Paul already has won 4 State Primaries, and needs to win just one more to qualify as a Nominee Candidate at the Tampa Convention.

This would greatly upset the GOP-E, but probably not Romney as he has always been clueless about how many voters really dislike him.

Although Ron Paul cannot win the Nomination in Tampa, he can along with our help create the proper environment for an OPEN CONVENTION in Tampa.

Then the Open Convention delegates can draft a REAL Republican.

Sort of a round-about way of bypassing the Romney/Obamalite/GOP-E sinking ship, but here is how I see it:

1.) Vote in large turnout numbers in the remaining Primaries, for Ron Paul as an ABR vote, (Anybody But Romney), especially if you vote in the May 29 Primary in Texas.

2.) Work and Lobby for an Open Convention.

3.) Draft a REAL Republican as the Republican Nominee.

An Open Convention will upset the Liberal Agenda Media, and their political consultants who already (in their minds) have Obama re-elected.

We need to draft a REAL Republican in 2012 and avoid the sorry Romney years if Romney beats Obama.

IMHO, Romney will loose by a hair to Obama which will require that Obama be immediately IMPEACHED in order to save our Republic.

Obama or Obamalite, the US Federal Government will not have it’s, and therefore our, financial house in order by 2016.

Thus, political resolution of the main problem: OVERSPENDING BY THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, may not be achievable in 2016.

Hence, it is IMPERATIVE that we have an OPEN Convention in Tampa so that a REAL Republican can be drafted, albeit kicking and screaming, to be the Republican Party Nominee for the Office of the President of the United States of America.

I have outlined above how voting for Ron Paul as a Primary wedge against Romney could lead to an Open Convention in Tampa.

Since Ron Paul cannot win the Nomination, he would serve as our last active best wedge hope of defeating Romney AND the GOP-E in an Open Convention.

Primary Candidate Ron Paul is the last active non-Romney Candidate left standing between the GOP-E’s Romney, (= probable loss to Obama in November), and an Open Convention of a Republican that can soundly defeat Obama.

A “win” over Obama is not enough, Obama MUST lose in a LANDSLIDE!!!!!!

NONE of the Primary Candidates have shown that they have that potential.

It is time for an Open Convention to choose the best Presidential Candidate.

It is time for us Conservatives to turn out in massive numbers in the remaining primaries, especially in the big electoral delegate states such as Texas, and vote for ANYBODY BUT ROMNEY!

Ron Paul needs only to win one more State Primary to qualify as a Nominee Candidate, and therefore is our best chance for an Open Convention to select a GREAT Nominee, such as Senator Jim DeMint.

I think a Real Republican would be our best choice, but first we must work to have an Open Convention in Tampa.

What say all of you?

It is not going to happen.

To those in TN get rid of the moderate Sen Bob Corker too. Fence straddler like Lamar Alexander.

You lost me at “Ron Paul already has won 4 State Primaries.” He hasn’t won a single one.

"Then the Open Convention delegates can draft a REAL Republican."

I'd prefer a REAL Conservative. REAL Republicans suck. See John McCain.

I think every election is unique and even though I expect that my worst political fears will materialize in a Romney coronation, I can still see the possibility of an open convention. Conservatives (myself included) not only do not approve of Romney - we just don't like him either. McCain wasn't a good conservative, but I still liked him 4 years ago.

No one has voted in Texas or California. I suggest that open convention supporters in those states should simply vote for Ron Paul. I don't know enough of the rules to know if an open convention is mathematically possible. I just think it's best to proceed as if it is possible.
