Ron Paul is having another one of his silly moneybombs today

[Meeker]

Let's see how much money his supporters throw away this time

I think he's been running TV ads for sometime now, but they're of course having no effect because everyone made up their minds about Ron Paul sometime ago.

$1.2 million wasted so far. Maybe they'll buy another blimp or two.

Pffft, that's nothing.

Thus far, $17 million has been wasted on Perry, ~$23 million on Romney, and, for a grand prize, well over $150 million on Obama.

You seem to miss the point. One of those three will actually be elected President.

Fixed that for you. Though to be fair, you're right in that three have anything resembling realistic chances; Perry has no shot short of the collective IQ of the US dropping by twenty points.

Heh. Alright. Have fun living in your fantasyland for the next few months.

The easiest way for Mitt Romney to win over Republicans who don't like him is to offer Ron Paul as the only other option.

[Meeker]

The portion of Republicans who would never vote for Romney is significantly higher than the portion of Republicans who would never vote for Paul.

No.

Mitt Romney favorability: +24%
Ron Paul favorability: -25%

That's comparing multiple people with positive favorability ratings... your statement said that someone with a -25% favorability rating is more likely to win than someone with a +25% favorability rating. That's so laughably absurd I don't even know how to argue against it.
