NOM is apparently taking credit for Ron Paul not finishing on top.

But Ron Paul's a homophobic asshole. How could they not like him?

He didn't sign the pledge to get rid of all SSM.

I'm curious to see how Ron Paul plays out in all of this. He's close enough right now to become a major spoiler for the top two. If he can stay there long enough he get some nice offers in exchange for his endorsement.

My prediction: Romney clinches the nom, but only after the California primary, which I believe is quite late in the season, like June or something. He then scrambles to find a VP that will offset his "Mormon-ness" in a desperate attempt to keep the evangelical Christians on board. (You already see this paranoid crap in one of the primaries, I forget which state, where they were making people sign a "loyalty oath" to support whoever the party nominates even if you don't personally support them.) In one of the strangest partnerships in politics since Caligula and his horse, he signs up Mike Huckabee to be his running mate. (The whole thing comes crashing down, of course, when it is revealed in late September that Huckabbe maintains a secret life in Key West as a drag queen named "Helena Handbasket.")

EDIT: This just in: Bachmann's out.
And Perry's still in, actually:
http://www.wistv.com/story/16443061/bachmann-perry-cancel-sc-events

What in God's name is Perry still doing in this race?

He's pure Republican Id - he's got basically everything a Republican would want, minus the votes he lost by being an idiot on Youtube. And for some people that's actually a bonus. So he might think he still has the race.

I thought the Republican Party was just one big political Id.

You know what's funny about this is that many gay folks believe he isn't homophobic.

The man who put forward a bill that would have prevented the Supreme Court from hearing cases related to the right to privacy and the First Amendment in relation to homosexuality is not homophobic?

And also supported a bill that would make it illegal for same-sex or unmarried couples to adopt children?

Yup. Go to any gay political site and there is at least one gay dude wanking over how LGBT friendly Ron Paul apparently is. It's like they aren't trying to pay attention.

Ron Paul's public image is as purposefully wishy-washy as any good politician so that he can try to pick up some libertarian voters. Of course, anyone who actually researches his positions and values civil liberties will be very disgusted with his flip-flopping. It's like a fish dying on a dock, man.

Still don't understand why NOM doesn't love him. He supports subverting the Constitution for their cause - that takes dedication.

Here was the quote from NOM's founder:

Quote
"The strong showing by both Santorum and Romney shows that supporting marriage is not only the right thing to do, it is the politically smart thing to do. This is a lesson that Ron Paul may be learning the hard way. Paul suffered a big loss by finishing third in Iowa, a state he was expecting to win. NOM aired television and online ads that were highly critical of Paul’s unacceptable stance on marriage, including his belief that civil marriage should be abolished altogether. No doubt our ads, along with tens of thousands of telephone calls and grassroots work with our thousands of supporters in Iowa were a factor in Ron Paul’s poor showing."

Ron Paul is secretly homophobic. He's never made any statements himself that would lead people to think he's a homophobe, he just quietly supports that prejudice through his lawmaking. IIRC, a former campaign manager of his said that he was privately quite homophobic. He refused to use the bathroom of a gay supporter of his, and another time when a gay man reached out to shake his hand, Paul swatted it away.

So NOM is crediting itself with Ron Paul's 3rd place finish and not Paul's own work in the state?

Ironbite-that's some ego.
