I can win.

Make that three primary elections and two caucuses for a total of five defeats in a row.

OR five victories when compared to 2008 performance. He's mostly out of the single digits now.

Secondly I do think he wants to win but sometimes coming second or third gives you enough clout as convention time. You think any of the other candidates would turn down the rabid zeal of his base if he were to support someone and actively campaign for say Mitt or Newt?

He doesn't have to win. He has already managed to get his issues/concerns to the forefront. One of the reasons he has faltered is the others are adopting certain aspect of his positions, for example Newt and the Fed. He was in MN yesterday and the crowds were out the door everywhere he went. In fact the event near my home was so crowded you couldn't get in so I didn't even go over as I'd heard is was an overflow crowd as I was leaving and that was over an hour prior to his arrival.

Lastly, He his swimming upstream. No one close to power wants him elected because he represents real Hope & Change. When he goes on stage for a debate the producers mute the applause, Fox ignores him or worse. If he wasn't on to something he wouldn't be feared. When Rush Limbaugh states "Ron Paul will be the death of the Republican Party" you KNOW he's having an impact on the political climate.

We shall see how it all plays out. The revolution continues and I intend to be a part of it until I die. Face it Liberty is popular!

Truth is Treason in an Empire of Lies!

He snout if single widgets because of his opponents.

Sure they would want his followers. Who do you think Paul would endorse. Romney and Gingrich are about as opposite from Paul as you can possible get. I doubt Paul cpuld hold his nose long enough to endorse either of them.

We shall see!

If someone is willing to give a seat at the table he will hold his nose and go forward with some type of endorsement. For Ron Paul to have maximum impact in defeat he needs to go into a convention where no one has enough delegates to win. In that situation he could even be the nominee, although a more likely scenario is that of having enough delegate support to effect the outcome. That happens and it's almost better than him getting the nomination.

Here's the dirty little secret about Ron Paul as the Republican Party Candidate. He's up to the task of running, however IMO he will be totally deserted by the big money Republicans from the East. Just as Goldwater was in 1964. I think the difference would be that despite their desertion, Dr Paul would fare extremely well but not good enough to beat Obama given the fund raising advantage Obama would have.

Dr. Paul has a HUGE mountain to climb to get to 1600 Penna. Blvd. I'd love to have him there as I do believe he is our last best hope to return to prosperity and Liberty. Right now? Looks like we might have to take what we can get to move in the direction we need to.

Yeah Well you also have to realize that if Ron Paul actually walked on water the headline would be:

Ron Paul Can't Swim
