If you are a Romney supporter don’t bother to read on.
If you support Gingrich or Santorum – VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!! by doing this you will be taking delegates away from Romney. As there is not a write in option available your only choice is to vote for Romney and add to his delegates or vote for Paul and take delgates from Romney. As I understand it if Ron Paul was to obtain 50 percent plus 1 vote he would take all 45 delegates. I personally do not think Ron Paul could beat Obama in November and would vote for Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum in Virginia if that were possible.
So K.I.S. (I will leave off the second S.) and vote for Ron Paul to help Gingrich or Santorum.

Virginians, you have a third way. Leave it blank!
acat (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 2:24PM EST (link)As the Romney supporters outnumber the Paulistines, Romney has VA in the bag.
However.
If he wins while showing a significant undervote, it’ll be clear – for any paying attention – that VA is not behind Wafflin’ Willard.
This has the advantage of not encouraging the Paulistines…. no matter who the nominee is, he or she – plus all the down-ticket folks – would appreciate it if we can minimize the time we let the old loon speak at the convention.

Virginian's have a fourth way
Scope (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 4:03PM EST (link)Don’t bother to vote at all, and let the crooked VA GOP try to figure out how many Republicans there are in Va. You don’t register by party in VA, and the NOVA liberals will be out in droves to vote for Paul. I wouldn’t vote for the loon for any reason, and I sure as heck won’t vote for the Ken Doll with Breck girl hair.
I don't know if VA works the same as IL, Scope, but ....
acat (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 4:07PM EST (link)Around here, at least, it seems there’s always at least one government-wants-to-issue-bonds question on the primary ballot.
Don’t vote in the primary, and lose your voice in *local* politics… bad idea!
Let the idiots decide between charybdis and scylla, leave the question blank *and vote everything else* conservative.

I'm pretty much resigned to that
keepcoolwithcoolidge Thursday, January 26th at 2:51PM EST (link)After reading the McCain playbook on Romney that surfaced recently, the prospect of me voting for Romney against anyone save Obama is looking bleaker and bleaker. I may not agree with Paul on everything, but at least he didn’t run to the left of Ted Kennedy, call for a new assault weapon ban, or support an individual mandate.
Increases the chance of a brokered convention too.
Good points keep cool
nov2012 (Diary) Thursday, January 26th at 5:54PM EST (link)There are several things that worry me about trusting the ‘establishment’ Republicans, and like you I will hold my nose and vote for Romney against Obama, however in the Primaries I do not want to helpthem by voting for Romney.

Ron Paul website has been selling anti Jewish material for the last 3 years
mikeymike143 (Diary) Friday, January 27th at 12:00AM EST (link)The website for “Campaign for Liberty”, an organization started by “Republican” anti-Israel Presidential candidate Ron Paul, has, since late 2008, been featuring a page offering the opportunity to purchase the notorious forged anti-Semitic book The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
As word spreads of this, inevitably Paul’s campaign will take down the page and claim the situation was a mere innocent mistake with which Paul (who of course hopes to lend his managerial skills to the entire nation) had nothing to do, a la the controversy over his newsletters in the 1990s. This of course despite the fact that the page with the link has now been up for over three years.

Taking delegates away from Romney
nov2012 (Diary) Friday, January 27th at 10:02AM EST (link)Reading all the comments I cannot see that anyone commented on taking delegates away from Romney to help other candidates. I would not vote for Ron Paul if I had another choice but my aim is not to help Romney. What happens after Super Tuesday matters.
Mikeymike stop attacking Ron Paul for a moment and think about the big picture and delegate counts.
