I doubt Ron Paul cares. He has lots of money left over from 2008. He’s probably not running, and he probably figures he wouldn’t win if he did. His organization probably doesn’t have the detailed records. What I heard was that 40 Ron Paul votes didn’t get the memo that they had to register by 1pm today. I would assume that the person who was in charge of telling everyone that they had to be there by 1pm doesn’t exist. Back in 2008 there was a big gap between Ron Paul / the official campaign and the grassroots supporters. The official campaign was small and unprepared for a large number of passionate supporters with unorthodox political campaigning ideas. The grassroots did not really like the official campaign too much and did pretty much what they wanted.
Lots of Ron Paul supporters were up in New Hampshire volunteering for Ron Paul, but for a parallel organization which had nothing to do with the official campaign organization. It appeared to be a gigantic waste of time.
This time around, it seems to be better. The campaign seems to be taking the initiative and is doing things that use the participation of volunteers. They’re doing well, with a win and a tie in the last 2 straw polls.
If he does announce that he’s running, a lot of the people who aren’t paying attention and supported him in 2008 will get back onboard immediately. A large amount of money would come in, and he would do even better in these straw polls.
You are deluding yourself about Paul.
He will get the fractional percentage that he always gets.
The best we have to hope (and PRAY) for is that he doesn't interfere with the conservative Republican whom we will nominate who can beat Obama in 2012.
Paul wouldn't get a tiny fraction of the American people's votes, no matter how rabid his supporters are, and how many people he pays to support him.
All he can do is hurt us.
