This would tear the party apart and ensure an Obama win. In fact, the only reason McCain is close to Obama in the polls is due to Hillary still puttering out there trying to get on the convention ballot.

Would the Republicans make the same mistake the Democrats are making right before their eyes?

Would be interesting to watch, and maybe I could get a 3rd candidate to vote for out of it.

It says that the base was not growing enough to be competitive with the big guys. The public didn't put up. That is the bottom line.

Agreed .... But it doesn't explain why he caved into the establishment that he opposes and quit.

Lack of commitment?? A little ego... didn't want to get bombed into the stone age in the election??? Needed to earn a living???

Just some thoughts.

Do the research and tell me if Ron Paul's campaign was ever about him or about his message. He quit the campaign but show me where he's quit the message? I'll save you the Google, it wasn't and he hasn't.

Were you on board with the man or the message?

I was on board with the message and the voice of that message ... Some might call that a leader .... If he were elected President ... Many would view him as such.

Who's in charge, and who is the central voice ??
