You can get 40/1 on RP winning the nomination.

Hmmm, what were the odds a month ago?

Ron Paul has no chance of winning the nomination . It will be Obama against Romney with Obama winning .

You better start saving up Code

Not only does Obama have Democrat Senators saying they are not sure they will even vote for Obama, but now Obama has even lost Matt Damon. Obama can't win without Matt Damon.

The president sounded a little defensive about it too....

Obama responded to Damon’s criticism saying, “It’s fair to say that when it comes to my presidency, the honeymoon is over…Matt Damon said he’s been disappointed in my performance. Well Matt, I just saw the ‘Adjustment Bureau,’ so…right back atcha buddy.”

Yet you are still running scared of my bet

His odds have lengthened from a month ago , your sense of denial is clearly cutting little ice with the bookies

So, from a month ago when Ron Paul had won zero states, to now where he was won at least 5 states....his odds have gone down?

Maybe it's time to get a new bookie

You will be eating crow this winter mate

On April 19, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court issued a 7-0 decision in Nader vs. Democratic Party. It ... clears the way for a trial on whether the behavior of the Democratic Party and its allies in 2004, trying to keep Nader off the ballot in 19 states, may entitle Nader to an award of monetary damages. Because the 2012 presidential election appears to be highly competitive, it is possible that either of the major parties will engage in all-out war against ballot access for various minor party ... candidates. This danger may be ameliorated somewhat by the fact that Nader has established the precedent that major parties may be at legal risk for such behavior.

It's really difficult even for a US-American to comment on the esotericism of the U.S. political system; more so with only a few thumbnail sketches drafted by the Guardian. Ron Paul may be weird but he's hardly stupid and very much knows exactly what he's doing. There's a lot more going on than CNN can explain to the unwashed masses in 2 minutes.

Still, Obama has it on lock...

He has yet to win a primary. All his other fellow long-shots have dropped out (or will by the end of the day). The Republican National Committee is calling former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney the “presumptive nominee.”

Yet at state conventions around the country, Paul supporters are increasing the candidate’s support by taking over state party committees and educating fellow Paul fans in arcane rules.

While at many conventions Romney backers are split between numerous would-be delegates, Paul supporters are showing up in droves and voting with discipline for a delegate slate.

With a plurality of delegates from five states, Paul supporters could nominate him from the convention floor — the goal of at least some Paul supporters…

Here’s the latest on Paul’s strength in state committees and conventions:

At Massachusetts’ state convention less than half of Romney’s 27 chosen delegates won tickets to Tampa. Paul supporters were chosen instead. While all of the state’s delegates are committed to vote for Romney, the delegates get to decide on the party chairman, platform, and VP nominee.

Paul backers in Alaska were elected as party chairman and co-chairman but failed to change the rules to give Paul the state’s 24 delegates. (He will get six.)

Paul supporters are a majority in the Iowa GOP’s State Central Committee…

They dominated the caucuses in Louisiana…

In Minnesota, Paul won 20 of 24 delegates allocated at congressional district conventions, and he’s expected to take more at the statewide convention.

Paul supporters teamed up with backers of former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum in Colorado to get 13 delegates.

The candidate has also picked up small delegate gains in states where Romney won big — for example, five delegates in Pennsylvania and four in Rhode Island.

Attempts to replicate these successes are taking place in other states across the country — for example, the upcoming state convention in Nevada…

When all the various state conventions are over we’ll see how much support he’s gathered — and whether Romney should have paid more attention.

We are showing you what Democracy looks like.

Contrary to what we've been told by most of the Mainstream Media Ron Paul is doing quite well at winning actual delegates. But you won't hear that on Fox or CNN. Neither will they tell you that Ron Paul has been invigorating liberty supporters by the thousands at his massive rallies. Join the Revolution! Spread the word! Now is the time for action if you care about the welfare of your country and its citizens.

A corrected video will be posted soon which includes Oklahoma and Massachusetts.

SPARKS - In a show of anti-establishment political power at Saturday's Nevada Republican Convention, GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul's supporters ousted two Mitt Romney backers from the Republican National Committee.

The vote came during a day of clashes between the two camps as Paul backers sought to install his people in the party hierarchy and elect as many Nevada delegates as possible to the national convention in Tampa, Fla.

RNC National Committeeman Bob List, a former Nevada governor, lost election to James Smack, the vice chairman of the state GOP and a longtime Paul supporter from Fallon. The vote was 932 for Smack and 623 for List.

RNC National Committeewoman Heidi Smith lost to Diana Orrock, one of Paul's backers. They have been taking control of the Clark County GOP for the past year. Carol Del Carlo of Incline Village also was in the running. Orrock got 902 votes to 429 for Del Carlo and 231 for Smith.

Each state has a female and male RNC representative on the committee, which runs the national Republican Party, a key duty in 2012 when the White House is at stake as well as control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

The new RNC committeeman and committeewoman won't begin serving their four-year terms until after the national GOP convention in August, when they'll be formally installed. But having Paul supporters at the RNC could expand the Texas congressman's influence beyond the 2012 campaign as he promotes smaller government and more liberties.

Ron Paul's presidential campaign said Thursday it would try to elect as many delegates as possible at Saturday's Nevada Republican Party Convention, dismissing a national GOP threat not to seat the state's delegation at the national convention if it included too many Paul supporters.
