Bokered convention talk is BS

A funny thing happened Tuesday when Rick Santorum was delirious over winning the AL and MS primaries. The funny thing was that, while Santorum was high fiving everyone, Mitt Romney won more delegates than he did on Tuesday night.


The proportional splits in AL and MS divided the delegates in what was essentially a three way tie between  Santorum, Gingrich and Romney evenly. But by sweeping the little noted HI and Guam primaries, Romney actually won 6 more delegates than Santorum on Tues. As the usual pundit logic goes, because he won more delegates, Romney is weak. Weird huh?

Now if you think that’s weird, check out the nominating strategy of the second and third place losers. The strategy is to deny Romney the necessary 1,144 delegates required to win the nomination outright and challenge him again at the convention. Weird times 2, 3, 8 or 108, huh?

This strategy is one that says, let’s ignore the 5,000 debates between the 50 or so candidates engaged in. Let’s ignore the 50+ primaries and caucuses. Let’s ignore the delegate count that has one candidate with a commanding lead, albeit short of the number required. Let’s ignore the commanding lead in popular the vote one candidate piled up through the primary process. Let’s give the nomination to___________. Fill in the blank.

You can put anyone’s name in the slot at this point. If it’s not the frontrunner, it would make as much sense. If not Romney why not Jeb Bush? Why not Sarah Palin? Why not Ned the Wino? One makes as much sense as the other. And by logic, none of them makes any more sense than putting Newt or Rick’s name on the line.

And then there’s this.

                                                                  Disgusting!

 I don’t know which is more disgusting, this or the UN Human Rights Council looking into US voter ID laws. Both are despicable. Both are being done by the lowest of the low vermin to be found anywhere.



We should be out of the UN and this a more appropriate place for the P-BO’s picture.
