As I predicted, Adam Kokesh, IVAW diva, announced that, although he could only attract 16% of the delegates in new Mexico’s 3rd District GOP pre-primary race, he won’t quit<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cOur campaign is energized, and we\u2019re committed to winning the primary election,\u201d Kokesh said in a news release. \u201cWe are a grassroots campaign, and over the next two and half months we will be calling on our many supporters to help us win this important election, and do our part to unseat the Luj\u00e1n-Pelosi-Reid Congress and stop the Obama agenda.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Typical Ron Paul tactic – ignore that fact that he’s unelectable and keep charging ahead with a useless campaign until the party is so fractured that the Democrat wins. Then he’ll claim that its the Party’s and the media’s fault because no would would crown him the candidate despite the wish of voters. Someone explain to me how Kokesh, who now has the support of one in seven voters, is going to turn that around in 10 weeks – he’s already been campaigning for a year, but a couple more weeks is all he needs.<\/p>\n

I wish someone would start a nationwide remedial math class for Paulians.<\/p>\n

UPDATED: Below the jump is Kokesh’s latest campaign letter forwarded to us by a former IVAW member;<\/p>\n

Greetings!<\/p>\n

When former Mayor of Corrales, Gary Kanin, was asked what he thought of the state convention, he declared “I’m for Adam Kokesh!” “Mullins can get the Republican vote, but he’s not gonna do diddly in Santa Fe and Rio Arriba. If you can’t get the Democratic vote as a Republican, you’re not gonna win.”<\/p>\n

Kokesh got only 19.5% of the delegates’ vote, which means he’ll have to collect signatures in order to make it on the ballot for District 3. That fact, to Kanin, is “embarrassing: They’re too glued to a successful, business-oriented candidate who cannot win the election.”<\/p>\n
