This is the final episode of KoPoint Political Explainer, Season 1. This is a long show, and contains our show’s new Anthem. In this episode, we discuss the state of the GOP and the conservative movement in general, in the second Week of February, 2012. We also discuss what a convention is, and describe Libertarianism.

Though counting is still wrapping up in Clark County Nevada this morning, it is clear that Mitt Romney will be leaving Nevada with a big, fat “W”. The only thing that is even remotely up for grabs is second place. With Clark County being one of the most populous, it may be possible for Ron Paul…

Straw polls, by definition, are nonbinding, so they have fewer rules than do real elections. And unlike opinion polls conducted by national organizations such as Gallup and Pew Research, a straw poll isn’t supposed to be a random sample of the population. Instead, those polled at events such as CPAC and the Ames Straw Poll are simply the people who happen to show up. That means the candidate who turns out the largest number of backers will win. One easy way to get out the straw vote is to buy up a bunch of tickets, then hand them out for free to your supporters. Paying for their transportation to the event can’t hurt. And wining and dining them once they’re there is always a nice touch. Since the CPAC straw poll typically involves about 3,500 people, you might only need to pay for a few hundred voters to tilt the poll in your favor.
Mitt Romney probably isn’t a hip-hop fan. If he were, the Presidential hopeful would have known that K’Naan wouldn’t be too keen on the idea that his song “Waving Flag” be adopted as the victory anthem for the potential GOP candidate. Now, the rapper may take legal action.
