I actually finally submitted my absentee form in yesterday after the Monday screw Ron Paul day. I basically waited till Ron Paul didn't have a shot. I thought he might until Mitt changed the rules yet again.. rather big dictator there.

The Romney camp are smart enough to realize he with his policy is not going to appeal to the Ron Paul types. Why waste your time and energy cozying up to people who think you are corrupt? I am sorry but if I were him, I would have kicked out anyone holding a "Ron Paul" sign.

Nothing short of Romney giving up the nomination to Paul will satisfy them.

He or somebody in the GOP dissed Blacks., Latinos, Native Americans and women. OK, Blacks and Latinos have never really been a Republican group, anyway, but even Gee Dubyah the Frat Boy got more than zero percent from the Blacks. Now he's pissed off the Paulistas. Hey, guys, he needs the Paulistas.

tea party, Social cons, neo cons. Don't chase a small minority of voters at the expense of a greater number of potential voters. Lets face it, the Paulbots are being unreasonable, they came in for a fight and they got just that and now they are pissed.

This might be the best move by Romney so far, he did the right thing. Full stop
