Ron Paul wins Iowa. And Minnesota. And might win Colorado.
The Daily Register is reporting that six to eight of the new Iowa GOP state central committee elected Saturday are Paul supporters or have very close ties to the Paul presidential campaign. Also, A.J. Spiker, Paul’s Iowa campaign vice chairman, is the new Republican Party of Iowa chairman. On top of the original seven he received on Jan. 3, he will garner at least 14 of the 28 delegates in Iowa.

Santorum was declared the winner of the 2012 Minnesota caucuses by claiming 44.95 percent of the vote. However, Paul will once again receive at least 20 of the state’s 40 delegates – 14 remain unpledged.
...
In the Colorado Republican caucuses that were held on Feb. 7, Dr. Paul was last in the popular vote (11.8 percent, 7,759 votes), but according to the Paul campaign, supporters captured 12 delegates and 13 alternate delegates. The Centennial State maintains 36 delegates; 33 of which are tied to the caucuses.
Furthermore, representatives from the state operations believe it can win over even more delegates from Santorum in the Paul-Santorum coalition that was formed, which grabbed 20 delegates compared to Romney’s estimated 16.

Republican voting systems. Because the Electoral College is way too straightforward.

made the blithe assumption that I opposed cannabis/hemp legalization personally.
FAIL. I just happen to think that's a ploy by RP to get the youth vote. He's a RWer of the highest order and opposes not just abortion but all birth control. Saying it should be a matter for states' rights means RP thinks my body is not my own property under federal law and the Constitution. Makes him literally pro-slavery in MY eyes.
