I'd say the guy who won was more savvy tbh.

Ron Paul had delegates at the RNC, Newt didn't.... scoreboard.
Ron Paul had at least five pluralities, and his delegates filed the paperwork that would allow him to be nominated under the old rules, which were changed via a rigged voice vote... scoreboard.
Sweet logic... if just buying the nomination is savvier than overcoming built-in disadvantages and still winning, I guess that means the Yankees who buy all their players are savvier this year than the Orioles who develop their players, even though they're both tied for the division lead right now and are both playoff-bound....
Oh, he had 180 and Willard had over 2000.

So, you don't have anything resembling a scoreboard.Quote:

Definition of SAVVY
: practical know-how <political savvy>
Looks like Romney had the know how to win the nomination.
If the Yankees win, they will have had the know how to win.
Savvy.
I guess the Moneyball A's weren't "savvy" then because they didn't win the World Series, even though they changed the way the entire league scouts, develops, and analyzes players....
Also, "practical know-how" =/= winning....
Nope, Paul just got outcheated and outspent... Ron bless
I've already provided plenty of numbers and facts, you just choose to ignore them...
:lol In denial
Hey, if you can't provide an actual scenario with verifiable numbers, just say so.
I don't expect you to be able to, so this kind of answer and some post count smack is all I think is you can post about this from now on.
My contention is that Ron Paul had no chance at all to win the nomination at the convention regardless of the method attempted.
Prove me wrong.
I agree with you there.... what I disagree with is the idea that there were somehow HONEST reasons why he had no chance... anyone who kept track of the RNC knew that the voice vote was questionable at best, that Maine got screwed, and the rule changes effectively killed any grassroots in this party...
Since the most you can do to counter these facts is to bring up meaningless straw polls and call people "assholes," I think we're pretty much done here...
If you actually read my posts this whole time, you would realize that I've been saying that if everyone followed the rules, Ron Paul had a chance.... since the RNC cheated and changed the rules at the last second, they removed that chance.... but I know you're too busy padding that precious post count of yours to actually follow an argument, so it is what it is, B...
I have proven you wrong, and you've ignored it, so trying to get me to keep arguing in circles with you is pointless....
No, you haven't proved me wrong and now you know you can't, so you're whining and will probably start with the post count smack or other distraction technique.
Just say you don't have the numbers to disprove my contention and never did. I already know it. You already know it. You need to admit it to yourself so you can get on with your life.
I have provided numbers and facts, while YOU have called people "assholes" for exercising their constitutional right to a republican form of government, posted the cumulative results of meaningless straw polls, and bickered over the definition of "savvy".... remind me again who's using distraction techniques?
When even Wild Cobra is shitting on you, it's clear that your argument simply sucks, B.....
YOU of all people shouldn't be lecturing anyone else on "getting on with their lives"....Quote:

The Constitution guarantees a republican form of government.... A republican government features things like conventions and delegates and the Electoral College that would have no reason to exist in a mob-rule democracy.... by disenfranchising Ron Paul's legally elected delegates for no apparent reason other than that they wouldn't be voting for the chosen moneyed elite candidate, the RNC severely disrupted the whole electoral process of our republican government....
