Virginia’s Goode could be Romney’s undoing

[jenmito]

While many on the right fear that Constitution Party presidential candidate Virgil Goode might just draw enough votes in his native Virginia to tip the Old Dominion’s 14 electoral votes from Mitt Romney to Barack Obama, the former six-term congressman made it clear he doesn’t care.

Goode, in fact, feels that “in many ways, for conservatives, it might be better to have Obama as president next year rather than Romney.”

1. Hoo boy! Curiouser it gets.

The Constitution party is seriously wacko.

But VA has their share, like many places.

If they are getting the willies about Mitt, he's doomed.

Craziness continues this election cycle. I need to get drunk, or get a baseball bat to hit myself of the head. Maybe a nice glass of wine or a Martini.

3. Romney's got all sorts of trouble!

I think I'll just have another popsicle.
Grape...yeah, grape.

5. Go for the wine.

Don't hit yourself with a baseball bat. That hurts.

2. So much love for Willard

6. which in this case gives it credibility on right wing third party candidates.

7. Just wait until the Republican convention when the Ron Paul people get man handled.

A percent of them are going to vote for Goode to show their strength and distaste.

8. Looks like the Paul people have been accepted:

Republican National Convention finally accepts Ron Paul

They've just treated us like a friend and like a coalition," Jesse Benton, a spokesman for the Paul campaign, tells USA Today. "They have been honest brokers in working with us and treated us with respect."

Even if the congressman can’t get a full time slot to speak at the RNC, the GOP is giving him access to the University of South Florida’s Sun Dome, a decision that both sides say they were able to agree on mutually.

"We have worked closely with Congressman Paul to secure a location for this event," Kyle Downey, a spokesman for the GOP convention, adds to USA Today. Only one month earlier, RNC spokesman James Davis told the Associated Press that the GOP had received the Paul campaign’s request for a venue but was “making those assignments on a rolling basis." At the time, the Paul campaign complained that delays on part of the RNC put PaulFest in jeopardy.

"Our success brings us some clout," Jesse Benton says of the campaign’s victory.

I hope they still start trouble there.

9. They have agreed not to stop the Paulfest from outside of the convention

I wonder what will happen when some of that enthusiasm seeps back in among the thousands of Paul delegates who after all, don't like authority in principle.

At the very least I expect that there will be a raucus negative noise when they try to make it unanimous.

Ron Paul still not endorsing Romney

11. True...

and I bet there WILL be "raucous negative noise" at the very least.

[TeamPooka]

13. "access" means they have basically just agreed to let Ron Paul into the building...lol

hopefully they make him use a servants entrance
and maybe they will realize they are being co-opted by the GOP like the religious right was for 30 years before they took over the GOP as the Tea Party
anything to get those Paulites riled up and vote Goode or Johnson or even Obama because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

10. I heard them discussing Goode on local RW talk radio.

They VA rethugs are really worried about this and seriously pissed. If I was the guy I would get some body guards.

[jenmito]

12. I first saw this on the freeper site. Some actually said they'd vote for him and others said

they had to vote for Romney since he's at least slightly better than Obama.

[yellowcanine]

14. Goode may be an idiot but he could be a useful idiot.

Go Virgil!

15. Darn right! n/t
