Ron Paul Chaos

[lawrnk]

Ok, someone remind me. Didn't he drop out?

I don't believe he ever dropped out - he just isn't actively campaigning for that position anymore.

He didn't drop out - in fact during the recent Nevada GOP Convention he specifically said that as long as he still had support he'd continue running, all the way to the National GOP Convention. He then mentioned that his support is still growing.

His newest book was officially released 4/30, and is #1 overall (not just in political or non-fiction) on Amazon, and #7 on the NY Times list for last week (before the official release).

no he did not drop out. He is still in. He still has delegates. It's just Chipmunk Cheeks McCain has enough delegates on his side to get the nomination. Ron Paul is still going to the convention.

The convention is going to be interesting. Not over the nominee -- that part is pretty well sealed, barring something unforeseen. Instead, it's going to be interesting in the battle over the platform.

Advocates of traditional Republicanism --which includes Ron Paul supporters, but certainly isn't restricted to them-- have had a lot of success gaining seats as delegates in various states.

I expect the GOP platform, and the nominee's platform, to be "divergent".

What was the final outcome in NV, anybody know? They had to reschedule the convention for later, but did it ever get completed?

Likewise. Shoot, even the in-writing Texas GOP platform is divergent from that of the National GOP.
