Yat Yas 1833 sent us a link to a Washington Post<\/a> article which reports that Ron Paul will finally end his failed campaign. Not that he’s out of the race, mind you, he’s just not spending anymore money…probably so he’ll have enough to run for Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur campaign will continue to work in the state convention process,\u201d Paul wrote in an e-mail to supporters.\u201cMoving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, so basically, the people who already sent him their money will be working for him for free in the delegate process.<\/p>\n

Paul supporters have successfully increased the candidate\u2019s delegate share in multiple caucus states by flooding state conventions and mastering arcane rules. In Nevada, for example Romney won the caucus by 30 points, but Paul took 22 of 25 available delegates. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because that makes complete sense – manipulate the system so the Republicans can have a candidate that most Republicans won’t even vote for. If the votes aren’t there for Paul in the primaries, they won’t be there for Paul in the election, basically the Ron Paul campaign is just working to get Obama reelected. <\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s backers has suggested that the delegate push is in part meant to pave the way for Paul\u2019s son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R), to run for president one day. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brilliant strategy, well, if there’s still a country left for Rand to be president in the next election. Of course, there’s always the option that Adam Kokesh put forth<\/a> the other day. Yeah, I don’t see any problem with that Ron Paul crowd running the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
