It is worth the effort regardless of the result of the primaries. Today someone from our Meetup group is going to talk to the UNLV ‘college democrats’; now, some may mock this, but we are converting people to conservative/libertarian values. There are many people who were entirely apolitical, who now understand how harmful the heavy hand of government is, who now reject socialism. RP is expanding the Republican party and the movement is educating many, many people - I think this is a success, any way you cut it, regardless of how the horse race ends. :)

RP is expanding the Republican party

Sorry, but now I see you as just plain delusional. Ru Paul is not expanding, he's dividing. I don't understand how those who support him are blind to this fact. Look around and pay attention to what is going on. While there are GOP Candidates whom I think have zero business running on a GOP ticket (Guiliani, Romney for example), Ru Paul is also not a Conservative, or a Republican. He's strongly Libertarian, despite his efforts to lie to people around the country. If anything, his candidacy will help Hitlery more than the country.

Oh, please. The only reason they have any interest whatsoever in Ron is because of his anti-war, blame America first talking points.

As I recall, Ronald Reagan did not reject any Reagan Democrats.
