nevada made national headlines this month, the clark county republican party decided to try to distance itself from the anti-mitt romney billboard, saying the billboard was not the party s per se, it belongs to a member of the party s executive board. they said they re not even that concerned with federal elections even if they don t like mitt romney much. they presumably include the presidential one this fall that the national republican party is trying to win in part using nevada s electoral votes. the question is whether or not clark county republicans in nevada have been taken over by the ron paul movement, the answer is yes. does that matter to national republicans who really sorely, truly would like to elect mitt romney and who would like nevada s help in doing that? you would ask that question about iowa, too.
they needed and in this presidential election year, the neuron paul dominated alaska republican party can t take over early. they couldn t hold this convention they had planned on holding. the ron paul crowd went away mad in alaska, some saying they had spent hundreds of dollars traveling to the event. beyond clark county, nevada, and iowa, and alaska, ron paul won a majority of the delegates for the whole state in the state of nevada and in the state of iowa, and in the state of maine, and in the state of minnesota, and maybe in louisiana. we don t have a final result yet for louisiana. so even as mitt romney seeks to consolidate the republican party faithful and steam toward the november election, the ron paul movement has been seizing the republican party apparatus at the state level. as of today, ron paul supporters are not only not falling in line on mitt romney, they are suing in federal court, more than 100 delegates for the republican national convention are suing the republica
takeritake libertarian aspect to it. network theory, all these words are so tainted by everything, but network theory for this generation for all of us does suggest as we re better connected, we ll make better decisions. and the ron paul movement has been one of the most sophisticated social media movements ever. so if i were sitting in mitt romney s shoes, i would gets a close to ron paul as you can. let s it take a listen to senate minority needer mitch mcconnell this morning. and his view on the president s courtship of the youth vote second time around. you have to think that most of these students are sharp enough to put this president s read tore rick up against his record and to conclude that it just simply doesn t add up. as the promises of this president s campaign collide with real life, i think young people across the country will realize they got sold a bill of
bargaining position than romney. paul matters more than gingrich. worth noting that two dozen active paul backers are running for house or senate seats. 200 are seeking local offices. there i think could be a ron paul movement that extends well beyond ron paul s candidacy. ron paul is the only candidate who is a movement candidate in this campaign and he appeals to younger voters in a strong way. s in a problem that the romney campaign wants to address, something they re going to have to address in the fall. i agree with chris. with all due respect to jesse, i don t think that ron paul is going to remain a factor in terms of delegates. i think this race is going to continue to be sort of close to over. i don t think the santorum vote is going to move to ron paul but i do think paul has enough supporters he will continue to be something of a force and someone they have to deal with. it s the damage he can doing ultimately through a kind of bully pulpit that probably has the republic
even on this panel who are not ron paul supporters who have said they like him because he s consistent, they like him because you know exactly what you re getting. they would be very smart to start to take some of what he s saying and bring it [interruption] megyn: newt gingrich says that s fine, i didn t compete in those states but i m looking ahead to supertuesday, this upcoming tuesday and georgia has the most delegates of any state at issue so far and i m going to win that state he says and he thinks it s going to be a southern sweep for him. do you think people are wrong to be counting gingrich out the way we counted so we counted so many out? most certainly. particularly if you look at the gingrich success strategm, all eyes will be on him, he will sweep through georgia and then proceed, and gingrich reminds me very much of a lincoln-type character, whereas our commander in chief has quite literally divided our house. so once we get through with
