I figured this would be the outcome with the voter machines. Okay, all of the Conventions are over.

Paul supporters won only two of Nebraska’s 35 delegates to the national Republican convention, far short of the 18 they needed.

I don't think he will. LOL! They still have a pretty serious lawsuit on their hands against Romney. They are trying to get an answer before Tampa to see if they are unbound. If they are, they won't be voting for Romney. And I think they are very ticked at him. I read that was 15% of the vote he could lose. Sound high, doesn't it? Many are going to vote for Gary Johnson, but I think you knew that.

Pretty weird with them being so organized, they only pick up TWO delegates today. They were talking of giving a motion to hand count, but that didn't happen. I don't trust the voting machines one bit. It was a very peaceful Convention. No drama at all.

I think Newt and Santorum saw what was going on and that's why they just suddenly dropped out. No sense in wasting money over a machine they couldn't win against.

UPDATE: Lawyer for Delegates has confirmed Rick Santorum will re-enter race & peel votes from Romney if Paul Delegates prevail in Federal Case.

3 FACTS ABOUT A CANDIDATES NAME BEING PLACED INTO NOMINATION AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION!

I have been in touch with a member of the RNC Rules committee over the past 4 days and have been able to confirm a few FACTS about the nomination process.

1. For a candidate's name to be placed into nomination at the RNC you DO need a plurality of delegates from 5 states.

2. Binding and Non-binding distinctions DO NOT have an affect on nominating a candidates name. If "binding" is allowable by rule, (it is not) it would only pertain to a vote taken on the nomination, not the process of placing a name in nomination.

3. The Ron Paul campaign HAS the majority of delegates in the following 5 states: Nevada, Maine, Minnesota, Louisiana, Iowa. He MAY have the majority in Massachusetts and Colorado

Even if the RNC changed something again and cheated Paul out of more delegates, all it takes is for a plurality of 5 states to say "We nominate Paul, or Newt, or Perry, or Palin. They are not bound on whom they nominate, only on who they vote for (which isn't even true. no one is bound by anyone).

It's about getting on the ballot and having a speaking slot. But to be nominated, you do need a 5 state majority to do it.

We know nothing about what Newt has for support. We hear nothing about what the delegates are thinking. Public opinion means nothing, it is up to the delegates. 2287 people who will decide the fate of our party; wow....

Remember, these are party rules. If Paul beats them at their rules, then they will change the rules. i.e. He goes out and wins 11+ states of delegates and they implement rules and unseat his delegates and replace them. Then he still gets a plurality of delegates in 5 states, so they will change it to 7 states.

It is corrupt; they are criminals who don't even follow their own rules. So now we have one lone lawyer who researches the laws and finds precedent that the federal law is applicable at the Convention and that all delegates are free to vote their conscious. And so here we are... waiting on a judge to help break the corruption in our party. Interesting times…

300 million guns in America. Huge undertaking to take them out of our cold, dead hands.

But, seriously, if we step back and remove the fear and the emotion and just look at this election for what it is and all that has gone on, then it becomes very clear what is going on. This is the point in time that will define the future of our party and then the future of this country past the presidency. The corruption has to stop if we want to win the war long term. The election and the presidency is just a battle in the war.

Personally, I think the GOP is on the way of the Whig Party.

Maybe the Tea Party will get its act together and then we can have a real chance at getting the Ship of Liberty off the iceberg.

I like Hard Tea.

The Paul Revolution was and is the effort to get the Republican Party to correct itself. That was more Paul's plan than winning the presidency. I saw more corruption in our party this election cycle that I have ever been aware of. It's totally disheartening and sickening. We don't have to agree with everything Paul stands for, but the largest percentage of what he does stand for is right for our Republic.

They, along with the factions of the Tea Party with their heads screwed on correctly, are making changes. It will take some time, but we do have a Revolution on our hands and it's a good thing.

I've been getting a lot of "fear" of Obama being re-elected, but I've also been receiving good policies being passed that stand against him. The latest being that Florida finally, after a tough fight, gained access to DHS Database. That enables them to make sure that no non-citizen will be voting in any future election. We DO have Americans fighting for our country and I welcome, if Obama is re-elected, a Constitutional fight.

In the mean time - Revolution roll on.....
