He got seven percent and he did not even campaign there! He could probably double that going forward if he works hard at it!!!

So like Einstein's posts, fail.
I am not foolish enough to post pictures of myself on this board, but hey whatever floats your boat, I would suggest against it, there are plenty of horror stories out there and never forget some here take this stuff far too seriously, I learned that early on. I was simply replying to your typical attempts at personal attacks on E when you ran out of discussion points, it was in fun, as we must assume yours was also, right, so don't get too bent out of shape.

He is focused on delegates. Early polls showed Romney or whoever with a strong lead. He wasn't going to waste time there when the winner got all the delegates.

He tripled his support from last time without even campaigning

Newt spent several million dollars and ends up with 0 delegates.

His campaign has stated that they will use their resources in caucus states where they have a chance at getting delegates. Romney was the sole winner of the 50 delegates from florida. the rest got 0 (zero).

You're gonna regret many things blind man, the least of which is asking questions.

Paul was right in 2002, and he is right now ... You are just too short sighted and deluded to appreciate these facts.

Florida was expected to be a waste of time and money. SC proved that the deep south is into people like Gingrich. Florida was different in that it has tons of New Englanders living there and has quite a bit of wealth. Ron Paul will do better in the west and that is where he has been concentrating. He/We want to get as many delegates as possible so the ideas he purports can have serious consideration and be addressed at the convention - AND perhaps have a place in the next administration. He is working smarter - not harder.

Isn't that every state in the general election? Doesn't winner take all in the electoral college?

In the election - yes. But not in the caucasus. He is building himself to have a say-so at the convention. He represents many of us that have our views constantly ignored by the likes of Romney. Romney will have to deal with RP's support and incorporate some of our passion on certain issues if he wants RP supporters vote.

Sounds like you realize he is not going to get the nomination
