No need to. I know in the end Ron Paul type Republicans will be the majority in the party. His son is in his 40's he has a good 30 more years to carry the torch of liberty for people like me.

Yes, it will dramtically show how far behind he is for all to see.

Santorum dropping out helps Romney and hurts Paul.

#1 Santorum's delegates are now free to vote for whoever they wish. Romney may only get a few of these, but he will get some if even a small minority. When you have a large lead - even a few more helps push you to 1144.

#2 Santorum is no longer around to split up popular votes. Sure some Santorum supporters will stay home or vote for Gingrich or Paul...and some will vote for Romney. This increases Romney's odds to win more states and more bound delegates. There is a real chance for Romney to get to 1144 delegates on bound delegates alone that are tied to popular votes - without a single unbound delegate.

Just watch April 24th, Romney will win 5 of 5 states and dominate in these bound delegates that must vote for Romney on the 1st ballot. Over 75% of all delegates are bound to a popular vote on the 1st ballot and Romney is easily getting the vast majority of these.

Now might be the time to run 3rd party. Frothy dropping pretty much kills the brokered convention scenario...

I'm loyal to the US Constitution. Right now the best and most consistant defender of the US Constitution is Ron Paul.

The campaign needs to DESTROY Romney now, if they're serious about winning.
