Paul has 25 million and can’t even win a state. Sheesh. That is embarrassing. I thought he was running on a shoestring like Santorum is.

Paul and Romney neck and neck in Maine. The poorest counties in Maine will vote this weekend as GOP canceled because of a snow storm (small) but people live a distance apart. Paul people said the Girl Scouts did go to their meeting. Paul camp was accusing Romney of purposely thru the GOP of this action so those votes would not be counted. So they vote this weekend so that race is not over. Also found were D's and Independents that voted and/or more votes then people registered at this 10 day plus caucus which is nothing more than the GOP trying to get workers for the campaign with speeches one has to sit thru in whatever county based school u attend. U are there for a good part of the afternoon. Most do not even go as it is not the same process as in a regular Election where u are in and out. Mine was moved to another location after hearing a speeches in another. I finally left as many like me and did not vote. This just an example of how these extended caucuses get little attendance. My guess is Paul could get ME. No one bothers when the GOP makes it miserable to even vote. In the end the poorest county in Northern ME Machias area have not voted and would go Paul. Did I hear from an Atlantic writer that only 6,000 people even voted in ME? I have no immediate figures. Complaints are coming in and well deserved in doing so. Even in Maine there were issues in suspect. But attendance in some areas were record breaking. Still a joke!

Paul was interviewed on that fact that he did not stand a chance to win over those with more $$$ behind them, or his age, or because of the tinfoil hats that follow him present a negative. Paul replied he was there to bring attention to the economic downfall in this country by an overspending government, that it could be fixed in his third term,& mostly those who would be effected economically in years to come jumped in behind him-a cross section of America.

I compared that "reason for being" to the scene in The Iron Lady..where Thatcher was asked by a reporter the same qusstion in regard to chances on her ever winning and she replied she did not expect to win but she would at least be "nipping at the heels" of the politicians to get the issues heard. She knew the cost of butter when the elite politicians made fun of her for being from a shopkeeper family--she quickly added she was but then again she also went to Oxford.

Cain followed Paul on his 9-9-9 Plan which "in part people liked [it was meant to be the Intro to the discussion]; was not until then that the candidates started addressing the economics-flat tax etc.

I feel the information fed the public is so muddied that becomes a foreign language to a majority of Americans-investing-they never had enough to invest or knew how to invest, they never saved but spent for wants over needs; they think the refunds they receive is“their money returned ”,the entitlement are from the Government as an humanless entity not People who under penalty of the law must fork over or the IRS will become your worst nightmare. It is the taxpayer who pays-the more you make the more you pay in taxes % group...all so muddied and purposely deceptive. Bama with Pelosi and Maxine Waters [puke] 2 of the most devious of thewhole bunch..make it a point to play out the class warfare card, as that's all they got!

Paul in all likelihood may not win, but he will be remembered for what he stood behind in theory and never wavered from. Paul brought some things to the table that everyone agrees with.. his followers will still remain to fight again on another day--nipping at the heels of these GOP establishment Big Government politicians.

The GOP has already chosen their winner--as if we really needed the caucuses and thought we ever had a voice--as in ME; for instance, where the GOP; in a neck and neck race by 200 votes, declared the winner-Romney before the biggest county-the poorest county had voted [this Sat]. Santorum and Newt did not make appearances. Paul has good reason to be upset--whether he is our choice or not.
