So the same people who demand that Hillary drop out of the race immediately will also run stories about Ron Paul digging at McCain’s heels.

RP isn’t for me but it will be fun to watch the desperate screeching from the mug collectors when the Democrats are down to one candidate and “our” guy’s future becomes clear.

It’s a protest and the centrists have yet to understand the gravity of the base they defile.

Vote in a RINO and consider yourself loyal to the R Party.

[rrrod]

I wouldnt vote for him but its fun to watch his followers stir stuff up.

>> Vote in a RINO and consider yourself loyal to the R Party.

No RINO vote here.

[Harrius Magnus]

I’d vote for him in a second over any of the three current stooges.

[dcwusmc]

I expect to write him in come November.

must be the white supremicist population in Idaho.

We've got our primary next week and I'm having difficulty choosing a candidate. I took a peak at the ballot online at the Secretary of State website and noticed that McCain, Huckleberry, RP, Romney, and Uncommitted are all on the ballot. Right now, Uncommited is my frontrunner.

During my daily commute it does appear that there are a few more RP signs than there are Obambi signs. I entertained the idea of creating some "Vote Uncommitted" yard signs and sticking them amidst the RP signs that pop up at busy intersections.

White Supremacy isn’t a big thing here in Oregon. In fact, the liberal I-5 corridor pretty well wipes out the rest of the state. But early in the ballot counting, when all the TV channels had was the Portland/Metro area totals, Ron Paul had 14% of the vote. I don’t know what he ended up with at the end.

Not bad for a bunch of Socialists.

[oldfart]

I just looked it up. 17.82%

"It’s a protest and the centrists have yet to understand the gravity of the base they defile."

That would be true if "the base" were a bunch of bong-smoking, anti-war kooks.

Paulrhoids still holding in one long and huge toke...

Idaho:

Too Little, Too Late.

Hillary and Obama have convinced me to support McCain.

[GOP_Raider]

In actuality, I’ve noticed a lot of young whippersnappers here that support Paul because of his vehement distaste for the War in Iraq. Although this is here in Boise in the SW portion of the state. Not sure about the rest of the state...

It’s a protest and the centrists have yet to understand the gravity of the base they defile.

That's one of the more bizarre sentences I've read recently.

Ron Paul, with an ACU rating of 77 to McCain's 80, does not represent the conservative base.

He is - pathetically - to the left of McCain.
