I don’t think this strategy is as strange as many seem to think. Paul just figures that attacking Romney is a waste of time. Here is why.

Romney is the establishment candidate. Paul is anti-establishment. The act of attacking candidates is designed to weaken their support. For example, attacking Santorum as someone who is big government will cause his support from small government types to fade. Paul figures that his candidacy won’t ever get support from establishment Romney-type voters anyway.

He’s just trying to be as efficient as possible with his attacks, which is smart because he doesn’t have an unlimited amount of money to spend on ads.

Efficient with his attacks? Then explain why their wive’s dine together and they both chat on the phone daily, why RuPaul is spending money on attack ads against Rick and Newt in states he isn’t even campaigning in and why Rand said that it would be a “honor” to be Milts VP? Come on. The truth is clear here. Paul and Romney have one big thing in common. They both hate conservatives. Paul is an absolute fraud and he has just been exposed as such.

LOL, that's funny. Mr. Career Politician (longer than the rest of them) is somehow anti-establishment. Here is some inside baseball, Paul is as establishment as the rest playing a specific role- a political honeytrap. He is the type both parties always have to keep in their stable to keep the 'anti-establishment' voters believing they have someone on their side. They give lip service to anti-establishment rhetoric but they never actually pose a threat to the establishment. Take the Fed for example. Paul has given lip service for decades about ending it but has never done anything. At that, he has the role now in his chairmanship position to actually do something and he has done jack. He even voted against his own audit bill and sabotaged future bills. Yet, he still talks about ending it. To quote Shakespeare in Hamlet- "Words, Words, Words..."
