Don't count Ron Paul out.
Obama has announced that he's in favor of Gay marriage, as if anyone thought that would cost him any votes, given who his support base is.
So you might think the Moral Right thinks it has a choice in Romney? Not quite hardly. I'm waiting to repress my giggles if this Mormon LDS member articulates that marriage is between one man and one woman. He'll have to explain the curious shift in divine inspiration about that truism between the time of Brigham Young and the present. Christian Fundamentalists just don't trust LDS, some thinking it to be satanic.
Ron Paul's people are smart as hell and highly motivated, and they have the benefit of working for a straight shooter candidate with authentic integrity.
Watch for more stories delving into Romney's background, like today's story about him chopping off the long blonde hair of a gay kid with his pals back in school. Anything can happen between now and the convention. Those Republican sellouts can huff and they can puff, but they can't blow down the American political tradition - it's in that tradition that Ron Paul stands alone, and it's far outside the American traditions of freedom and live-and-let live in which the Republicans stand. Keep your eye on Ron Paul.
