Where did everyone get the idea that RP is out?
It's not a given yet that McAmnesty is going to the convention with 1197 delegates. There are still other primaries and caucuses to get through, and even if he did have 1197 according to CNN, that's still according to CNN, and they're wrong.
It also says two things on his web site:
1) he specifically says he's in it until the money dries up, and there's still $100k a day going into his chest, and
2) the neocons are after his congressional seat. He HAS to take some time to win back his seat, specifically to prevent ManedWolf from showing up here and saying "see, his own district doesn't want him".
And it works like this: I will never not vote my conscience. I voted for the lesser of two muppets in the last two elections, and it got me unaffordable housing, high gas prices, bloated government, endless war, suspension of basic constitutional rights, and a crashing dollar.
If your new muppet loses it's because he's running on that platform, not because I didn't vote for him.
