Ron Paul is not campaigning in Florida for a couple of reasons...

1...Florida lost 1/2 of it's delegates for changing it's primary date.

2... Florida is a 'winner-take-all' primary

3... Ron Paul doesn't want to spend an estimated $10 million for advertising in a state where he can get NO delegates.

Will Ron Paul win the Florida Primary? Nope. Won't even come in second. Will probably come in LAST place. Someone said he he isn't even campaigning there. Paul is not even going to campaign in Florida - with over 19 million people and the FOURTH most populous state in the US? Seriously???

Ron Paul supporters ... please explain to me how he is going to capture the GOP nomination without winning a single primary?
we have had 2 primaries-neither of them closed, and ron paul finished 2nd in one of them. the other one picked mccain last time, but i think the rest of the country doesn't want to do that again.

why don't we just wait and see how it plays out? i can't stand that people are willing to call it over--- like other people's votes just don't count.

the vast majority of voters haven't had a chance to vote yet!

You need to ignore those guys, they suffer from wishful thinking syndrome.

Ron Paul isn't dropping out, and he's coming up to states where he has strong support!

Which states would that be?Is there a state or states where you personally predict he will win?

I'll be perfectly happy if he stays in through the whole primary season.....but I don't expect him to win in a single state.

Wow this is the first time I've ever heard the place which employs George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Kathleen Parker, and Marc Thiessen described as liberal since maybe the Ford administration. Deffo agree with the toilet paper part though. Their whole operation is only kept afloat by their for-profit diploma mill scam (Kaplan).

I'm actually worried about equality. I'm happy that people don't have a right to put up no blacks allowed signs and it took away people's private property rights. I'm happy that the civil rights act forces people to service me, and you can't turn me away because of the color of my skin. I know it sucks for libertarians that they have to live in a society with minorities, but its ok, you still are the dominant race.

Do you even know what libertarians stand for? Come on seriously!

Hypocritical racist's believe its okay for black people to be racist like themselves and Obama, but who hates it when white people do or are alleged to do the same thing. I wouldn't pay people like that any mind.

As I've said in a previous post, I have not, nor has my family ever owned slaves. Nor were they here during the civil war. And I've never discriminated against a person due to skin color. Now if I own a business, and you look like a shady character regardless of color, I may be inclined to throw you out. Why is that so hard to grasp? And in 2012 in the United States of America if any business owner is DUMB enough to put up a "No Blacks Allowed" sign on their window, then they aren't very smart to begin with, and deserve every ounce of ridicule that they will receive. I can't stand bigotry in any form!
