    GOP race down to two, Ron Paul rides late delegate gains into Austin (w/ video coverage)


    AUSTIN -- For Texas Congressman Ron Paul, Austin is home turf.

    "You can see the stickers everywhere," said supporter Sarah Rice, who arrived hours early for Paul's scheduled appearance at the University of Texas. "You can just really feel the power behind Ron Paul here in Austin for sure."

    With Newt Gingrich's impending exit, the GOP primary is down to just Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Trailing far behind Romney in delegates, belated wins in Iowa and Minnesota announced this week have inched Paul closer the five states in which he needs a plurality of votes in order to punch his ticket to the Republican National Convention in August.

    "The money keeps coming in, the crowds keep getting bigger and the enthusiasm is increasing," Paul told KVUE shortly after addressing the crowd assembled on the university's LBJ lawn. "So we're going to keep maximizing our efforts to get the most amount of delegates, have a presence at Tampa and keep this whole freedom movement going."

    Hope defines his supporters, who are still optimistic despite discouraging polls and delegate counts.

    "Well I think some of it's fraud," reasoned supporter Kip Davidson. "The straw polls really don't count really, and all the delegates haven't been counted yet."

    "They're going to come through. I don't trust the numbers that they're putting out," said Kevin Martin. "They'll come through, he's got a strong delegate strategy."

    If every single person at one of these rallies goes out and finds one more person to vote for Ron Paul, then we would most likely have Texas in the bag.

    What we NEED is 20%. My state has a strong neo-conservative streak. Combine that with Religious Right members screaming "he's for prostitution!" and we have a battle to win over hearts and minds. If we get 20% we can win delegates for sure.

    Does anyone know how California's doing btw?

    Thanks for loading the pic I took Sailingaway!

    Check this one out. I had Ron Paul's personal security (the young, tall one always by his side) snap this photo for me while he was standing on the ledge of an elevated fountain. As y'all may be aware, the young security dude usually takes the crowd pics that end up getting posted to the ronpaul2012 website and Facebook page. I stood there and takes to him for several minutes (should know his name by now!). He's a really nice guy.


    In the background, you can see the infamous sniper perch from the 1960's shooting spree.

    One really has to ask ... Why doesn't the GOP want the guy with the most support to win the nomination? Hummmm?

    Yeah, this should probably end up in the media spin forum for cataloging purposes....

    Tyler, I remade your picture from your link to get it a size where more of it would fit on the page:
