Ron Paul Is Secretly Taking Over The GOP — And It's Driving People Insane

[FarCenter]

By now, it is clear that the Maine caucuses were a complete mess.

Evidence is mounting that Mitt Romney's 194-vote victory over Ron Paul was prematurely announced, if not totally wrong. Washington County canceled their caucus on Saturday on account of three inches of snow (hardly a blizzard by Maine standards), and other towns that scheduled their caucuses for this week have been left out of the vote count. Now, it looks like caucuses that did take place before Feb. 11 have also been left out of final tally.

As the full extent of the chaos unfolds, sources close to the Paul campaign tell Business Insider that it is looking increasingly like Romney's team might have a hand in denying Paul votes, noting that Romney has some admirably ruthless operatives on his side and a powerful incentive to avoid a fifth caucus loss this month.

According to the Paul campaign, the Maine Republican Party is severely under-reporting Paul's results — and Romney isn't getting the same treatment. For example, nearly all the towns in Waldo County — a Ron Paul stronghold – held their caucuses on Feb. 4, but the state GOP reported no results for those towns. In Waterville, a college town in Central Maine, results were reported but not included in the party vote count. Paul beat Romney 21-5 there, according to the Kennebec County GOP.

7. Must have been a short trip

Most Republicans don't need to drive there, since it's such a short walk.

10. "That's not a drive, that's a putt!"

8. Now I know why the rethugs

are so concerned about vote fraud. They're the ones committing it!


And they can't even do that right. You would think after Florida, in 2000, and Ohio, in '04, the playbook would be available to all the states.

12. Ding ding we have a winner

I love the Rmoney lady who was in charge of switching to electronic voting - Bwaaaaaaaaah!! Bradblog must be storing all these goodies for November.

Whatever happened to that Michael Connell investigation up in Ohio again?

9. I wish he'd win the republican primary, frankly

If Santorum or Gingrich wins all we are going to hear for the next year is culture war bullshit. If Romney or Gingrich wins all we'll hear is 'class warfare' crap. At least if Paul wins it, the debate will be mostly about the wars and fourth amendment issues.

11. Imagine if LaRouche secretly took over the Democratic Party

I think it's something like that.

13. Election Fraud is just business as usual for the GOP /nt

[arbusto_baboso]

14. The GOP establishment will NEVER allow Paul a serious run at the nomination.

If that means they have to arrange an "accident" for him, they won't hesitate to do just that.

Ron Paul should probably stay away from any small aircraft in the near future.

15. How could that be?

How do you drive already insane people insane?
