At this point, I find it more entertaining than annoying. At some point, though, I may put him on my ignore list - just as you did (and he would be the only poster on my ignore list as well).

I hope you'll be one of them. I'm planning to be there, and I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to hear you speak.

Regardless, I don't think we can blame the runoff on Leppert. Dewhurst would have gotten 50% if the Tea Party hadn't been pushing Cruz so much, regardless of Leppert. The Texas Senate primary became their next main target after the Indiana Senate primary.
I'm just mad at Leppert because I think he used my city (Dallas). Couldn't vote for Cruz because he was born in Canada (j/k).

As an Obama supporter, I would love to see utter chaos in Tamps, however its not going to happen.

Now if you wanted to get super technical you could argue he isn't quite at the 1144 yet. He has about 130 or so unpledged delegates which is a mix of the caucus delegates and RNC member delegates (Paul is never going to get those establishment delegates anyway, but that is beside the point).

At the end of tonight Romney will have about 1,040 or so pledged deleagtes, so even if you count these unpledged delegates that are a mix of the caucus and RNC member delegates for Paul, with Romney at 1,040 or so pledged its impossible for him not to win.

With the unpledged delegates he has the 1144, without them and just going by the pledged he is around 1040 or so after tonight.

Romney is nowhere near that... before tonight's Texas primary...

Romney - 591 delegates
Ron Paul - 186 delegates

Delegates TBD at state conventions - 1297

The Texas delegates will be counted at the state convention on June 7-9

One of the best things to come out of today's primary is an overwhelming majority of folks sending a message to blowhard and legend in his own mind Craig James that he's not as popular as he thinks he is.

Current count
Obama 516K
Romney 992K

Thats pretty much a 2-1 margin.

I agree. I find it instructive that said poster joined in March, for the sole purpose of bleating that Mr. Paul is going to be the Republican nominee, all credible evidence to the contrary.

I guess that said poster is a relative of Mr. Paul.
