First, posting personal rants in the News forum is poor FR etiquette.
The USA Today article does not show Ron Paul fighting with the Romney people; rather, it describes him in close cooperation with them. Paul has not publicly endorsed Romney but has almost certainly promised to do so.

“GOP makes room for Rep. Ron Paul at Tampa convention”
Huh?
Thanks for the help? I think. (I do appreciate the link very much. I couldn’t get it to post into my very first vanity.)
“Rant”? Where?
Etiquette?
The point IS that Ron Paul has not endorsed Romney.
The other point IS that Ron Paul got a seat at the table anyway, without endorsing Romney, quite without etiquette.
I never said a word about the article showing “Ron Paul fighting with Romney people”, though, it is obvious to all he is not enthusiastic to endorse Romney. The man knows how to bargain. A seat at the table in exchange for an endorsement. See how it’s done?
The article, on the subject of an endorsement, did NOT say Ron Paul “has certainly promised to do so”.
It was an opinion paragraph with the beholder’s eye choosing to call it a “rant”.
We post and learn. You are free to do a bang up better job than I, and I would be delighted to see it, actually. But, you didn’t.
