Ron Paul should drop out of the race (McCain, party, money)

Although in future GOP debates he will get more air time. I still chuckle when I picture McCain's face when Paul asked him about the Financial Markets Group (plunge protection team) and McCain didn't even have a clue what it was.

Lets not forget, Paul still has more cash than McCain or Huckabee, a devout following, and brings issues that should be heard.

Ron Paul's biggest problem is that he brings up issues that many don't want to think about, like the cost of the Iraq war or in depth discussion on the relation of the falling dollar and growing economic crisis.

Talk about keeping their head in the sand like an ostrich!

Suicide Terrorism Expert Professor Robert Pape Named Ron Paul 2008 Foreign Policy Advisor — Ron Paul 2008

He just hired on some Middle East experts.

I expect Ron Paul to have a strong showing in Texas, since Romney is now gone and most people here will not vote for McCain. Is it possible all the Romney delegates would eventually move to Ron Paul? I don't really like seeing Yahoo! News headlines that read "McCain seals GOP Nomination"

You sent him $2,000!!?!? How can you have $2k just to give away like this? What kind of work/business do you do?

He is irrelevant because the media shuts him out and because he is too extreme on many aspects. But be warned: Paul has a HUGE following online and in the blogs. Say anything and risk death!! (or at least some negative points in your score card thing)! LOL

Yes, I like the fact he is bring the value of the Dollar as an issue. That is awesome. He is a great person, but as I said too extreme and the liberal media wants this man dead.

He does have the cash. After all, someone in this forum gave him $2k!!! LOL He does raise money because his base of support is very committed... almost.... fanatical.....

We don't want McCain in there so let's stop fragmenting the conservatives among 3 people (2 of which don't have a chance) while McCain sails into first place! It's time to unite and get the closet thing to a Republican we can elect nominated!

Yes, they could have helped Mitt, but now it is all over. Disaster has strcuk, he quit. All we have no is Hucka, with an actual chance of winning, that is.

I have no idea how many of the Romney supporters will end up in Paul's house but I suspect more will likely head to Huckabee's.

Thing about Romney I didn't care for was his attitudes towards Paul, even after Paul defended him against attacks on his religious views. Then again, in Romney land, its all about the mittmiester.

Poor Straight Talk. The MSM can focus on him from now through November. He's toast.

From what I've seen, a lot of Romney's delegates are from caucus states and in NV for sure, they aren't bound by the primary vote. As long as Paul can sway the delegates to vote for him instead of McCain, he should be in good shape.

Ron Paul can't drop out now. We need him in the race more than ever. He must take advantage of Romney's exit and make a grab for the delegates. That way he may have a good chance to sway the GOP convention.

you're probably right

Nah, I think he'll just stay so he can get more air time now that there are just 3.
