  Ein ausführlicher Artikel zu Ron Pauls Motiven, der vieles aufgreift, was hier schon diskutiert wurde. Fazit:

  He is ready, like Moses, to withdraw from the battleground having never entered the Promised Land, entrusting that task to his Joshua, his son. And whatever the doctor can do to make his son an accepted voice for a respected point of view on foreign policy—whether it’s securing a convention speech, a platform concession, or just a place at the table in hypothetical Romney administration deliberations—he will cash his last gold coins to make it happen.

  Hm, Paul räumt wirklich eindrucksvoll ab - könnte allemal reichen, um beim Parteitag den ein oder anderen Überraschungscoup zu verbuchen.

  In just the last week, Paul locked up 49 delegates, including five in Pennsylvania and four in Rhode Island, two states thought to be firmly on Romney's turf. In Minnesota, Paul won 20 of the 24 delegates awarded at last weekend's district caucuses, an impressive sweep that guarantees that Paul will control a majority of the state's delegation at the Republican National Convention.

  And despite staunch opposition from the state Republican Party, Paul took 20 of the 40 delegates awarded in Missouri last weekend, according to campaign chairman Jesse Benton.

  In at least five other states — Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, and Maine — Paul has done remarkably well at county and district conventions, and his supporters are expected to win a big chunk of the RNC delegates at the state conventions later this spring.

  Ron Paul wins 21 of Maine's 24 Republican delegate spots.

  Ron Paul wins majority of Nevada delegates ... 22 of the 25 Nevada delegates up for grabs.

  Paul supporters will make up 74 percent of the delegates at the Louisiana GOP convention. [...]

  Even Paul's campaign advisors admit that, despite the success of their convention strategy, it would be virtually impossible to deny Romney the 1,144-delegate majority he needs to win the nomination on the first ballot. But delegates also vote on the convention chair, the vice president, and the party platform, and Romney could have a hard time controlling those votes if the delegate team he brings to the convention is loyal to another coach.

  Bin mal gespannt, ob das noch lustig wird auf dem Weg nach und in Tampa. ^.^

  Buzzfeed meldet, Paul habe seine Strategie etwas geändert: Er stelle seine dank zweier Vorwahlkämpfe recht eindrucksvolle Wahlkampfmaschine in den Dienst von libertären Vorwahlkandidaten für Senats- oder House-Sitze. In manchen Staaten greifen die Paulistas auch schon nach der Macht über die GOP des Staates.

  Quietly, from the remnants of two failed presidential campaigns and the formidable online Paul organizations, a political machine is being born. The Paul agenda of extremely limited government, suspicion of economic elites, and their true outsider street cred have broad appeal in their party’s politics that go well beyond the sometimes-eccentric standard-bearer. The Republican Senate nominees in Wisconsin and Minnesota this cycle owe their nomination in part to the Paul influence. A Paul acolyte, Ted Cruz, is on the cusp of an upset victory over the establishment favorite in Texas Republican Senate primary. And Paul’s son Rand, the junior senator from Kentucky, is now mentioned seriously as a prospect for the 2016 Republican nomination should Mitt Romney fall short in November. [...] The Tea Party has “lost its meaning, lost its significance,” said Wead. Instead, the mini-Pauls are “riding the wave,” he said. “This is a genuine movement and many people have been downplaying it and underestimating it, and it can be seen for what it is now with the election of some of these candidates.”

  Ron hat sparsam gewirtschaftet und möchte die restlichen 2,5 Mille für ne große Party am Sonntag in Tampa ausgeben, einen Tag vor Romneys Party. Das kann sowohl peinlich als auch unterhaltsam werden.

  Die GOP hat Paul einige kleine symbolische Abschnitte im Wahlprogramm gegönnt - man will beispielsweise nach der Regierungsübernahme eine Rückkehr zum Goldstandard prüfen.

  Er durfte auf dem Parteitag die Rede halten, die seinem Vater nicht vergönnt war. Dabei hatte er recht wenig zu Romney zu sagen, brachte sich vielmehr in Stellung für zukünftige Machtkämpfe in der GOP. Mal sehen, ob Rand Pauls Fans bei der Stange halten und gleichzeitig andere republikansiche Fraktionen dazugewinnen kann.

  James Madison, Justices Thomas and Scalia, Rand Paul’s wife, grandfather and great grandfather, the Taing family, The Great American Donut Shop, a “certain congressman from Texas,” a sailor named John Mooney, Hung and Thuan Tringh, Mr. Exxon Mobil, author Paul Kengor, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford all got name-checked before Mitt Romney.

  That gives you an idea of where Rand Paul was coming from.

  The Kentucky senator won’t win any plaudits for being a team player, but his address was nevertheless effective in what it was intended to do: position Paul as a presidential prospect. While he embraced his father’s principles, he articulated his vision in a far more polished fashion than the Texas congressman and packaged it in a speech designed to reach a broader audience.

  If the goal was to advance his cause toward 2016, he managed to do that.

  Ron Pauls Reaktion auf das beinahe vollständige Fehlen konkreter politischer Programmatik auf dem republikanischen Parteitag:

  "I remain very, very skeptical of hearing anything that will change the course of history. We have a debt problem. We have a spending problem, but how many things did he list to cut?"

  http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/08/31/extra_bonus_quote_of_the_day.html

  Genau das ist die Crux: Die GOP fordert ständig alles, eine Verminderung des Defizits ebenso wie Steuersenkungen und die Rücknahme von Kürzungen bei beliebten Ausgabenpositionen. Das ist schlimmer als bei der Linkspartei in Deutschland. Vielleicht rüttelt Ron ja den ein oder anderen von Romney und Co. eingelullten Wähler wieder wach.

  Das Folgende betrifft keinen unserer Märkte und sollte sowieso nicht ernst genommen werden, ist trotzdem für ein Schmunzeln gut: Drei Ron-Paul-Fans fühlen sich von der GOP brüskiert, recht verständlich nach dem sonderbaren Streit auf dem republikanischen Parteitag. Sie sind allerdings als republikanische Electors vorgesehen und deuteten jetzt an, im Electoral College vielleicht gegen den Kandidaten ihrer Partei stimmen zu wollen.

  As Paul supporters fought for more prestigious delegate slots during state-level conventions this year, they also quietly accrued electors — some in Democratic states likely to be won by President Barack Obama, but also in a handful in states that Romney could take.

  In Nevada, for example, Paul’s forces seized control of the state convention and won a majority of delegates. They also placed four Paul supporters among the state’s six electors.

  Theoretisch - natürlich ist das absolut unwahrscheinlich - könnte das sogar dazu führen, dass die Staaten nach einem sehr knappen Wahlsieg der GOP von einem Präsidenten Romney und seinem Vize Joe Biden regiert werden könnten; allemal eine amüsante Vorstellung. Der gleiche Fall, aber deutlich wahrscheinlicher, könnte übrigens auch eintreten, wenn GOP und Demokraten nach der Wahl beide auf 269 Electors kämen - durchaus denkbar.

  If Romney prevailed in an extremely close presidential election, for example, defections could deprive him of the Electoral College majority needed to secure the presidency. That would throw the presidential election to the U.S. House for the first time in nearly two centuries. The Senate would elect the vice president if neither running mate got a majority of the electoral votes. If Republicans retained control of the House, and with the each state delegation getting a single vote, Romney probably would prevail. But if the Senate remained in Democratic hands, Vice President Joe Biden would be the favorite.
