So does Ron Paul usually stick around until the convention? Because the tea party, almost 50% of the

[applegrove]

GOP, hate Romney. So if Ron Paul sticks around Romney will be at 25% all the way. rotflmao!!!!

[SixthSense]

1. he did last time

he was the only one besides McCain not to drop out before the convention... IIRC he ended up with something like 20% of the total primary vote

2. Do they let him speak?

5. I would've remembered that if they did. He and his fanatics were marginalized completely.

7. of course not

They let Joe Lieberman speak though, he fit right in

3. That is great news indeed.

4. He only got 0.88% of the delegates, never won a state.

Had a lot of supporters at the convention though, probably do it again this time just to let the delegates get a free trip (?) to the convention.

6. He could be the kingmaker at the convention if Romney can't break his 25% ceiling.

Wouldn't that be a hoot. Ron Paul, the scourge of the GOP and 20+ year do nothing backbencher, could be the guy who decides who the GOP's nominee will be.

I wonder what price he'd extract? Abolishment of the Fed? A promise to shut down the EPA and $ for public education?

8. Ron Paul, the Kingmaker. That

is priceless

9. Ron Paul will be impossible to ignore this time around for them

What will they have to offer him to pledge to support Romney if he's the nominee? They will never let him be VP, he's too different. My guess? Federal Reserve Chairman, a post where he would actually be qualified for.
