Romney is losing to Obama in the polls as reported by http://RealClearPolitics.com.
Romney is losing 57 to 41 in the Intrade Prediction Market. He is losing in the electoral count 250 to 190.Romney can’t beat Obama so why do the GOP want to nominate a sure loser at Tampa?
They don’t, and maybe they won’t since they have a choice – Ron Paul can win.
But the Tampa Delegates need to know Paul can beat Obama. They already know that Romney can’t.
If Tampa wants “anyone but Obama,” then a national poll showing Paul beating Obama would convince them Paul can give them what they want. That would be the compelling reason to nominate Paul. A national poll asking, “Who would you vote for in November, Paul or Obama?” can be conducted by a reputable pollster for $2500.
I believe we need three polls commissioned with poll results on August 10, August 17 and August 24. Three national polls for a total of $7,500.The pollster is located at: http://pulseopinionresearch.com I started a ChipIn.com account to raise the money to pay for these polls. Time is short. This vital project will happen only if you chip in now.

Our strategy for Tampa should be to educate the voters that Paul can win, and this is what we are already doing, but we need these poll results to be compelling.
No one is polling Paul vs Obama. We must commission our own Presidential Poll, and lobby the pollsters to take more National “Paul versus Obama” polls.
The Paul Activists need to be able to show that Paul is winning in the polls when pitted against Obama, and that Romney loses when he is polled against Obama.
National polls with Paul against Obama should be a main component in our strategy for Paul to win the nomination.
Only Ron Paul can defeat Obama and the polls will prove it!
We will never lose the struggle for Individual Freedom and Limited Government until we give up, and Free People will never give up.
See you in Tampa.
