How much of the Popular vote has Ron Paul gotten thus far?

He'll get a minimum of 200,000 votes in California. He will break 1.5 million by Tampa.

SUPPORTER SATISFACTION is a given. Setting THAT aside, the HAPPINESS part, does anyone apprehend VICTORY (as opposed to winning an election) if Ron Paul would be finagled into the Republican nomination with TWO MILLION popular votes?

Does anyone imagine that Ron Paul would NOT be the object of CONTEMPT and RESENTMENT?

But let's say THAT DOESN'T MATTER. Let's say there is another STRATEGERY to get around INSUFFICIENT POPULAR SUPPORT, in order to beat Obama. How do people imagine Ron Paul would GOVERN without popular support?

Even with the handful of OTHER REPUBLICANS that some people are trying to get elected...let's say TWENTY-FIVE on the board-approved list make the grade, which would be a LOT...how do people imagine that Ron Paul would "enjoy" anything but another obstreperous OBSTRUCTION FEST?

TRUE, Ron Paul could ram thru a buncha stuff by Executive Order. "Naturally", HIS Executive Orders will be the GOOD KIND of father-knows-best unilateral decisions...IN YOUR MINDS...but what about the OTHER 300 million people? Ponder his LEGACY.

If this board's present STRATEGERY would be successful over time (EZPZ, because the rest of us "lazy, ignorant Sheeple" will not object, interfere, resist or bushwhack it), eventually the White House and all of Congress would be determined by Ron Paul Forums, with minimal support from a Public that is frankly too stoopid to vote anyway.

Well to be perfectly honest, I was hoping he'd break 2,000,000 by tampa :P

It's probably hard to tell when so many Paul votes get written down as Romney or Santorum votes.
