Mike Huckabee to Ron Paul supporters: You lost, move on

[monmouth]

TAMPA—Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a message for Ron Paul supporters who say they feel "disrespected" by the Republican Party's delegate allocation process: You lost, move on.

"I don't think they've been disrespected," Huckabee told a gaggle of reporters as we walked through the convention center here near the Tampa Bay Times Forum. "Elections are about—you get numbers. I lost four years ago, and I didn't feel disrespected as much as I felt defeated. You have to accept that the voters make a choice and the voters made a choice."

Paul supporters, who embarked on an aggressive effort to secure delegates in several states during the Republican primaries, argue that Mitt Romney's campaign strong-armed the party into limiting Paul delegates at the convention.

On Sunday, thousands of Paul supporters met for a rally at the University of South Florida, where they expressed outrage at what they called unfair treatment during the state delegate selection process.

4. Hopefully they still stay home in November!

That would help Obama if they don't turn out for Romney.

6. I hope they will

From what I was hearing from interviews on NPR, their feelings about voting for Romney are lukewarm at best- and they don't seem to be rabidly anti-Obama like most other Republicans either, so I imagine that at least a few might just stay home.

5. Gotta steal it from them...

... before they can steal it from us.
