Anyone else here get the feeling that

the Ron Paulites are rabid enough to write in his name as their votes and end up splitting the vote with Romney - giving our guy a win...like with Perot, Bush and Clinton? Then there is Johnson with the Libertarians who is running on legalizing pot.

nader-level votes, maybe; but certainly not perot-level votes.

voter suppression, unlimited cash, and tampered machines don't do the dirty work..

for years in new mexico the republicans would work for greens to split the democratic vote, most finally smartened up... i have been hoping for years that a christian fascist party would emerge to spit the vote, now that element controls the whole party..

And I also think they are rabid enough to stay under the radar at their convention - then when it's THEIR turn - upset the apple cart.
