http://www.therightperspective.org/2012/04/29/ron-paul-wins-louisiana-caucus/ what the hell is going on here? What happens if Paul gets more delegates than Romney? Haven't they already pretty much said Romney is GOP nominee?
Ron Paul has the majority at state conventions in Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa, Maine, Alaska, Minnesota, and most like North Dakota. He also controls a majority of bound delegates in several other states. There seems to be some possibility that the delegates that are pledged to him but bound to Romney may abstain in the first round of voting at the national convention. If so, Paul's supporters could prevent Romney from getting the nomination without making some kind of deal. Also, those delegates are NOT bound when it comes to selecting a VP.
Paul is angling to edge the Tea Party in being able to influence the Republican platform at the convention. Paul is no fool.
RP is the father of the TP. But the MSM took that over and made them just another bunch of hypocritical republicans. The TP does not represent him.
well, mr fancy, explain to me why those letters are not acronyms. because we dont pronounce them out like words? i reject that definition and so does wikipedia, listing USA and BBC as acronyms.
USA and BBC are abbreviations. SCUBA and AIDS are acronyms. But don't just take my word for it; the dictionary also agrees with me: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/acronym?s=t
^ "acronym." Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, accessed May 2, 2006: "a word (as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also: an abbreviation (as FBI) formed from initial letters: see initialism " ^ a b Crystal, David (1995). The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-55985-5. p. 120: Its encyclopedic entry for Abbreviation contains an inset entitled "Types of Abbreviation", which lists Initialisms, followed by Acronyms, which he describes simply as "Initialisms pronounced as single words" but then adds "However, some linguists do not recognize a sharp distinction between acronyms and initialisms, but use the former term for both." ^ "acronym". Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary (2003), Barnes & Noble. ISBN 0-7607-4975-2. "1. a word created from the first letter or letters of each word in a series of words or a phrase. 2. a set of initials representing a name, organization, or the like, with each letter pronounced separately, as FBI for Federal Bureau of Investigation."
