Thank God this is finally happening. Many of us Ron Paul supporters have been working tirelessly to not only have this happen, but help other politicians, who support the same ideals, get into office. The system has been used against us for so long, yet when we play the system's game and make progress, people who support other candidates become upset. At my BPOU convention, non Ron Paul supporters were quite vocal about the RP supporters winning, even though we were the majority by a huge margin. IMO people have been gotten so used to the candidates of past who have no real differences and have not needed this type of organizing the RP campaign has been able to accomplish. We really hit them with a "fire hose" this time around.
Even if RP does not get the nomination, the undeniable size of this movement will hopefully make people think about what is going on.

Everyone is so negative... especially the shills saying "Ron Paul can't win"
The truth is ... he has already won!
There is a huge shift of power taking place from old school corrupt control, to the people waking up and taking back control of politics.... this is what the elite fear most, and it's happening!
They want uneducated people who believe the straw polls which they can control and manipulate with rigged voting machines, media spin and such tactics.
They don't want us awake, aware and active.

I agree here.. He does not have enough delegates to go into the convention and win on the first round. I know that, the Paul campaign knows that, hopefully people on this board know that. This whole strategy is to take the nomination on the 2nd or third vote on the convention floor. with every win like yesterdays 3 wins and the ones prior its looking more and more likely that it will happen.
Ever since Santorum dropped out the MSM has been willfully blacking out RP on polls & news about him even with these wins happening at the county conventions.

The elections have been rigged so that big brother could win before (Bush vs Gore), but never before so blatantly.
My prediction is that the Fed will try to say Romney won by a fairly large amount, and the average Joe will no longer be able to sit at home and assume his government cares about his opinion or well-being.
It will be the 2nd "May Day" event in US history, and it might be bloody.
Lori Sotelo told the Times. “For heaven’s sake stop hitting us with a fire hose.”

The Fed will say nothing. The Republican Party is a private organization and it can do whatever it wants. How it gets its candidate is up to the party. Ron Paul can use every trick in the book to steal it, while at the same time Romney has all the popular support. in the end the Party can choose to ignore its own rules and put in anyone they wish. The Goverment has no more power to do anything about it then it does who leads a local Boy Scout troop. The big problem for Paul would be he would have to get people to vote for him in the main election because he can not use a sneakly political ploy to steal electoral votes. And the one thing that is clear about Paul is nobody is voting for him.

It's true. It's a takeover. It's been in the works for some time now. I know because I've been involved in it for several months. It's not just the Ron Paul campaign, it's the Ron Paul movement. We are organized and we are determined. I liked the part in the article where the GOP chairwoman says, “For heaven’s sake stop hitting us with a fire hose”. We won't back down and we won't let up.
If I may paraphrase the great John Kennedy:
"we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change...the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans... And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

Granted, electors in the electoral college can vote for whomever they want, generally they are people in high-ranking positions for their party, meaning some twisted 5th degree banker can understand he must not vote for Paul.!
