With him being in the race, it allows some people to see what liberterianism is. It also allows his opponents to see that some people agree with Ron Paul on alot of issues therefore his views can more easily come to the forefront.
I think that, if Ron Paul gets a fair number of delegates, there’s a chance he could negotiate for a spot as the eventual VP candidate. Not likely, really, but maybe worth it to him to stay in the primary race.
Paul will NEVER drop out. He enjoys being the turd in the punch bowl far too much to quit now.
How about telling the flip-flopper, the big-gov't-loving religious extremist or the morally/ethically corrupt-to-the-core serial adulterer to drop out instead?
I frankly don’t care if you like throwing money down the toilet.
Does nobody understand the ‘delegate’ issue with regard to the national convention?
Count all the delegates spoken for.
Now count all the caucus state delegates. How many of these are ron paul peolple ? You have no idea. We eill not see the true size of the Ron Paul base until the second floor vote.
A few weeks ago, you would be a big pile of zot regarding that comment. Let’s see if Jim has gone soft lately.
Sometimes the truth just hurts, don't it?
I don't, but the campaign is having conference calls to explain it to us over the next few days, and then I'm attending the county mass meeting saturday. I hate having to become politically active this late in life, but Ron asked, so what else can I do?
Should have a good idea about how the county-level process works next week, at least the way it works in Georgia.
You forgot your sarcasm tag.
Paul and Romney have partnered in this race, for some reason or the other.
Paul has bucked nothing, he has talked a lot but done nothing in his decades in Congress.
He needs to go away and take his actual few supporters with him.
Ron Paul is still amassing delegates away from Romney.
Ron Paul gets out and sends his delgates to Romney, in hopes that Romney needs the South and will put RAND PAUL on the ticket, maybe.
Ron Paul supporters are radicals who probably will go back into the underworld and won’t vote at all, with Ron out.
There are many reasons to try and get to convention. Ron Pauls and Newt are trying to get us all to convention. Santorum is just now catching on that he doesn’t have the delegates yet to be squealing for someone to get out.
He lags in PLEDGED DELEGATES. He is stuck with non-pledged delegates, who by the rules can wonder off anywhere and may be Paul supporters for all we know.
We need to watch the arithmetic.
Who knows, may be that the South will be willing to exchange Rick’s union favoring legislative record for the religious talk.
But. Maybe. Not.
Go Newt. (Who does lead now in PLEDGED delegates.)
Although you lay out a good case here, do you honestly beleive that people who support Paul would go to Romney? I do not.
It has already been demonstrated that Romney and Paul are partnering on something, either him as VP or his son (who by the way is no different than his dad, he just sounds more reasonable when he speaks).
Two things I know are this it as been and will be a nail biter all the way to the convention, and I will not vote for Romney - ever.
I so agree! Without our trio all in, all the way to convention, we lose not only our message to the RINO Establishment, but all clout to deal with them at convention on the subject of, NO MORE RINOS!
I think conservatives are catching on that we can’t make it to the convention in a one-on-one competition. We will be picked off at our flank.
God be with us.
Ron Paul will never get out of this race. Not gonna happen. He loves being a spoiler.
EEEEUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
