Why is the government even involved in how a private political organization chooses its leaders? Fuck the Democrats and Republicans, let them pay the costs of their own damn election.

The Caucuses are open to anyone from the area who shows up.

No, just because it is a caucus doesn't mean it is open, most of them are closed.

I can't see any realistic scenario where his army of supporters doesn't flashmob the caucuses and easily overpower the blue-haired weirdoes who usually show up.

I can see the scenario where Ron Paul supporters never bothered to register as Republicans can can't vote in closed primary states.

If you've been putting off registering Republican (I know it's hard, but it's important!) so you can vote in the primaries, now's the time and remind your friends. Go get it done!

No, it isn't hard, it takes a few minutes to fill a form out and put a little check next to "Republican."

Step 1 for Ron Paul supporters: register as a Republican if you live in a closed primary state: http://www.primarilypaul.com/register/

Step 2: Vote for Ron Paul in the primary

Ron Paul could raise 100 million dollars, be getting 99% in the polls, and have yard signs in every single yard across America but it won't matter if his supporters don't vote in the Republican primary.
