I’m beginning to think that Ron Paul is simply Mitt Romney’s lackey, bizarre as that sounds. Why doesn’t Ron Paul go after Mitt?

That is how Ron Paul functions in this race, but I don't necessarily see a conspiracy between Paul and Romney. It may well be that Paul simply sees himself as the natural alternative to Romney, hence no need to go after Mitt now, just knock out Mitt's other rivals and be the last one standing. It strikes me as a mad plan, but I don't doubt that Paul is mad enough to believe it sincerely.

I don’t think Paul knows, or cares a whit about Romney.

Paul has known for many years that he can never win office outside of his district, not a statewide election and of course not a national election, yet he had an ego and desired an audience and a million dollar lifestyle.

Paul’s cult is like all cults, Paul doesn’t search for the majority, he searches for the chaff, the left overs, the outsiders, the lonely, the odd, it makes him millions and he lives the life of a national figure.

That is why no one could describe a ‘typical’ Paul follower, they are all over the board.
