After all, the GOP was evicted from their office in MN for a measly $96,000 rent owed. Perhaps Newt will lay low a while.

(32,047 posts)Paul represents a TX district in the house, and his son is a senator in KY. Freeper types will never accept Romney, so I wonder if some will vote Ron Paul as a desperation heave for true liberty despite being down 9 with 9 seconds left.
If not, expect Paul to drop out soon. (edit) also, another factor is that the big money interests like defense contractors and wall street are afraid of Paul bc of Paul's anti war and anti fed reserve positions.

(10,893 posts)when Santorum was still in the race. Gingrich had to be delusional to think he was going anywhere. By him being in the race for this long, all it did was rob Santorum of the nomination from Romney. But then again, that's probably what the GOP establishment wanted anyway...it almost makes me feel for all the voters who didn't want the "Rominee".

(788 posts)this was all just a publicity stunt in order to sell old books that were sitting
in a warehouse and to increase his speaking fees. That is, for those
people stupid enough to want to listen to his B.S.
