So when does Paul drop out?

It is painfully obvious that Paul has no idea how to effectively spend all that money he raised.
The Giuliani Campaign ,one of the most inept in recent memory,looks like a work of brilliance compared to the incomptence displayed by the Paul Campaign.

Giuliani was in part a victim of the process. Yes, he was a terrible candidate with a terrible campaign but nevertheless he did have a lot of supporters and cash. I'd say in the bigger picture, behind Paul of course, Thompson ran the most abysmal campaign.
 
He never thought; nor did I, that he would win.

I remember with absolute clarity having exchanges with you and Oliver over the chances of Paul winning back in November / December, when Paul was riding high on money and in total denial of the polling. Real cute to deny that after such an pathetic train wreck. Unfortunately it seems the database for this forum is pruned regularly so I can't go back on that.
 
Yea, really.

Did you read what you quoted?

It starts like this: According to campaign projections...

Ah, you are so clever! :rolleyes: He asked what your source was. Instead, you prefer to play childish games. Enjoy that with your fellow Ronulans.

Prove it.
 
I did just realize you are in Canada? WTF eh?? Your opinion and who you support mean even less then nothing to me now.

Do you think the same about Oliver,and Matteo Mattai,both of whom are citizens of other countries (Germany and Japan) who are Paul supporters?
 
Guilt as charged. I do not research your spam here at JREF.

You do realize that Canadians have no voice in a USA election right? But go on supporting Obama eh?

After NAU becomes a reality, we'll be just one be happy North American/Norte Americano family! dudalb is just getting some practice for when we hold the election for the NAU Grand Poobah.
 
So, with Romney out, it will be a 3 person race and Paul will still get around 5%.

His fanatics can't understand that Paul never added anyone other than the original spazzes and dorks.
 
Prove it.

Just like how you didn't say RP had 24 delegates...

Anyway, now that you and HH are in this thread, mind answering the OPs question, one that I've re-asked at least twice already? When do you think RP is going to drop out? Or when do you think it would be suitable for him to drop?
 
It will be an absolute joy when this raving racist rutcase drops out for good.


Don't Hold Your Breath. I suspect Ron The Madman will,like most loons,hang on until the bitter end in St.Paul (no joke intended...that is where the GOP convention will be) .
But his hopes of playing Kingmaker will not happen.
Edwards in the Democratic Party playing Warwick? Yeah,that could happen. The Dems might well go into Denver with neither Hillary or Obama having enough to nominate.
But I doubt the GOP will be in that situation. Some bargains will be made,and McCain will have to make some concessions, to the conservative wing,but McCain will get the nomination. Paul will not have a freaking chance to play Kingmaker unless he goes out and buys the game.:D
 
TO be fair, Tam has said he likes Obama.
But he has not actually launched a campaign with multiple threads to support Obama the Way Oliver has for Paul.
For a Non US Citizen to like or dislike a specific Candidate and express his opinions is fine,to out and out try to campaign for one rubs a number of us the long way. TAM has not done that.
 
Paul conceivably had a chance when the field was full of neocons during an unpopular war. Other candidates dropping out hurts his chances, which have dropped to zero. Romney dropping out eliminates the chances of having any significant influence at the convention. Paul may continue until the convention in an effort to promote his message or set himself up to bring the Libertarian Party a record percentage of the vote by running as their candidate.

The big mistake of his campaign has been going after the Republican vote by emphasizing how pro-life and so-forth he is when they should have been emphasizing the things that made him stand out and draw the college crowds in the first place. It wouldn't have been enough as things turned out, but it would have been a more interesting ride. If Paul still has something up his sleeve that will make a difference, I can't see it. At least he actually picked up some delegates and broke 20% in some states, that's better than anyone not on board with him thought he would do.

Paul supporters, I love you, I am even (reluctantly at times) one of you. It's not a conspiracy, this is what primaries do. It turns out the longshot with little money who comes out to be the big winner happens to be McCain. Let it go. If you vote Libertarian, it will make you feel better, or at least it will help you get used to the feeling of your guy being soundly trounced.
 
The is still an opening for Ron Paul as a third party candidate. With McCain likely to win the Republican nomination, Ron Paul can now present himself to the voters as the conservative alternative.


Get yer head out of yer rear-end! He was rejected utterly and thoroughly within the "conservative" pressure cooker of the GOP primaries. How on Earth would he appeal as a "conservative" alternative in a wider contest amongst the general population?
 
I can not see why you can say that Obama (which I also like) is able to govern, while Paul is not.
Do you have a reason for that?
Or, should we talk about Mr. "half-a-million-plus-civilian-killed-war" Bush?
What do you exactly consider as a factor in being able to govern?

Well, being electable would be a good start. If you can't get elected, your principles are irrelevant because you are in no position to do anything about them.

See the difference? Obama has a chance of getting elected. Paul does not.

Electable...Not electable.

Electable...Not electable.

Hillary Clinton is (God help us) electable.

The reason George W. Bush is able to do all those horrible things that shock you so is that he was electable (twice). Thus he was able to govern.

If John Kerry had been electable, he would have been able to govern. Then he might have been able to implement his platform.
 
Just like how you didn't say RP had 24 delegates...

I did not say that. Read the thread.

Anyway, now that you and HH are in this thread, mind answering the OPs question, one that I've re-asked at least twice already? When do you think RP is going to drop out? Or when do you think it would be suitable for him to drop?

I do not think he will drop-out until the money runs out. He keeps raising money.

He entered the race to get the message out about the game being played with the currency. I agree that he should not drop-out until he has no more money.
 
I did not say that. Read the thread.

You're right. You said that the RP campaign said that. When asked for a source, you said "I didn't say that" and completely dodged providing a source. Are you going to provide a source? Or shall we assume you just made that up?
