As the Democratic presidential candidates held pre-primary rallies yesterday in Indiana and North Carolina, and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain spoke to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, another major-party presidential candidate continued his own quest for nomination, headlining a "Freedom Rally" on a Fort Wayne, Ind., university campus.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) told supporters in early March, through a Web video, that he knew he was no longer in the running for the presidency, and aides said his campaign would be "winding down." But it turns out Paul never stopped running for president.

Like a bad penny.
Right. It can’t end if it never got started.
FYI, the spokesman ‘Jesse Benton’ is the one most folks blame for how poorly the campaign was run and the so called misstatement earlier that he had dropped out. The funny thing is he is about to become Paul’s son in law.
John McCain will not win without the support of Ron Paul. Go ahead, flame on.
“John McCain will not win without the support of Ron Paul. Go ahead, flame on.”
No flame suit necessary. If 10% or more republicans won’t line up behind McCain and vote for him, he will not win the election. And then the republican party will whine and cry that we didn’t vote for their RINO.
Who?
Paul won’t endorse McCain. Paul is for smaller, less intrusive government like Republicans used to be.
Why flame, you are right. Paul has already hinted he likes Obama.
That's not an endorsement, that's an acknowledgement.
When you see Paul standing next to Obama crafting foreign policy like McCain did to Kennedy on amnesty, get back to me.
He's saying he favors Obama's foreign policy over McCain's, ergo, he's more in line with Obama's foreign policy than McCain. But he never said he endorses Obama. It's just his opinion. I don't know why, because Paul just contradicts his own foreign policy, since he wouldn't give billions to Africa and commit to globalist organizations like Obama would.
Anyway, Paul's virtually out of the race now. Why the continued piling-on?
I see you didn’t listen to the video. When asked, if he had to support someone right now, who would you support, after so hos and hums, Paul said ‘that is probably Obama’ (starting at 3 minute mark).
Compare him to McCain and he starts looking like a Silver Dollar.
Why not? It gives them something to do and keeps them from actually having to debate things.
Some people can’t give over themselves, but look what happened to one such individual with post #15:
