Ron Paul Wins Minnesota
Paul’s victory means 32 of Minnesota’s 40 national delegates will now be committed to Paul at this summer’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. The libertarian-leaning GOP candidate is remaining in the presidential race to compete for delegates in the hopes of shaping the convention and influencing the party platform. {Read the Rest}
Pat Buchanan on the Zimmerman Case
Yet the public mind has been so poisoned that an acquittal of George Zimmerman could ignite a reaction similar to that, 20 years ago, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the LAPD cops in the Rodney King beating case.
Should that happen, those who fanned the flames, and those who did nothing to douse them, should themselves go on trial in the public arena.
Chris Matthews’ Career is in Jeopardy
Yes, he came in last on Jeopardy, but he also is rather giddy about the president’s approval of gay marriage. Yesterday he boasted that Democrats are the ones fighting for social values while Republicans are fighting to make other Republicans rich. But this is the same Matthews that castigates Republicans for being too much for social issues. So, which is it? Either Republicans value too much money or they value too much morality? This man is jeopardizing his common sense.<>
The Delegate Strategy of Ron Paul
“Ron Wins Big”, says the Christian Science Monitor. One political insider concluded:
“I think he’s being very careful because he knows how important the Ron Paul voters are – they obviously represent a very different dynamic,” Mike Dennehy, a former top aide to Republican John McCain‘s 2008 campaign, told the AP. “They are the most passionate and the most frustrated of any voters heading to the polls. And many of them are independents.”

Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman
Dr. Paul argues vociferously that Krugman’s ideas about imposing financial policy via a central bank is the root of the many problems we have today.<>
The Paulites are Coming
Slowly, but surely, Paul is gaining the media’s respect at the last leg of this Republican campaign. Paul will be the last man standing after Gingrich drops out this week. The American Spectator concludes:
But even when they were disappointed by their popular vote totals, Paul supporters stayed behind and tried to win delegates at the low-turnout state and congressional district conventions. This cost-effective insurgent strategy seemed stalled, but now appears to be finally paying some dividends.
Many other Republicans are demoralized. The near-certain nominee doesn’t excite them. There are fewer high-profile Tea Party primaries than two years ago. The other conservative presidential candidates have been beaten.
Ron Paul’s supporters remain. They are still trying to win delegates and reshape the Republican Party.
