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?

Why? because George Soros hasn’t told him too.

“Why doesn’t Ron Paul go after Mitt?”

Why would he? As recently as a week ago I used to think that Ron Paul was a shoe-in to run as a third party candidate. I don’t think so anymore; I think he’s looking to deal.

So who is the most logical candidate to cut a deal with? Answer that question and you have your answer.

They don't share the same demographic. If Paul wants to peel off conservative voters he has to attack the opponent who has them.

Because if Paul did real damage to the RINO establishment the party machinery would squash him like the bug he is. He would be setup and primaried. His Congressional career would be over.

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.
