As for his 'objective' above, I have my doubts. I'm more pragmatic. He likes the limelight and attention, and sees it as a way to build a relatively decent amount of funds (relative to his past history). But that's just me.

You'll notice that I did not state that it was Ron Paul's objective but rather, Clinton Inc.'s objective for him to get 10-15% of the popular vote.

If you look at his donor list, you'll find a lot of people who are giving to both RP and Hillary. That suggests they think he will pull more votes away from the GOP than from Hillary... and they are backing it up with their money.

That confirms my point #2, that they're trying to make this a wedge issue among the GOP. But I don't buy the idea it'll take votes away from conservatives. In the primaries? Yes. But it's the general election that counts and there's no way RP will be the GOP nominee.
