Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are in it for the long haul

That last line that he said^

RP is still running far behind in South Carolina, at around 10% in the polls. SC is usually the break point, so he will probably have to save all that money for an independent run after that.

Ron and Mitt are going to split the Republican vote.

Obama has a third party on the ballot of every state so after a staged fight Ron can head up the new party.

Obama will be re elected.

I have a feeling we'll be pretty surprised at the result, actually.

My 'feelings' have rarely been wrong. It doesn't mean I'm supah smrt or anything, but I'm just saying..

For the record, I never thought Ron Paul would get far at all in 2007-2008. I have the itch in my mind that this is an entirely different scenario, even counting in vote fraud etc...

RP will probably come in at third in the delegate count for the Republican convention, then use his committed delegates to push through some of his policies into the official platform. If that doesn't work, he'll get pissed off and run as an independent, cannibalize the Republican vote, and Obama will win. In that scenario, he'll just be a spoiler, not unlike Ralph Nader was for Al Gore.

You want change, dont complain afterwards when change means you have to stop milking the gov's socialist titties. Change means you get off your ass and work your way to bring real prosperity to your nation, and it also means that if you don't do well you're on your own.

The good thing is that if the banks don't do well, they're on their own too.

Will it be painful? yes. Will it be rewarding when things begin to improve? yes.

Ron Paul better think of something to raise his polling in early states soon because if not Romney's nomination is in the bag

The only reason Ron Paul is "In it for the long haul" is because Ron Paul always stays long since he's done...

He won't be winning any early states or I doubt any on Super Tuesday either. He'll get the last frantic money blimpers to feed him some cash while he winds down his expenses in preparation for keeping whatever remains.

It's hard to call when the "also rans" will completely collapse and be culled out...but I'd say we can count on Ron Paul squatting in the race long after he should have been gone. That may accelerate some others dropping off as they won't want to be seen as doing the same, they still have careers to consider.

There won't be any third party spoiler run from Ron Paul either because it will destroy his sons career...the word on the street is already out on that with some very powerful players letting it be known that, "You fuck us and get Obama re-elected? then I will actively campaign again against your son and he's finished"

If Romney is smart he'll get word around that he would give him a nod for a high enough level position in his administration, possibly Treasury secretary where RP might do ok and get his Paulbots on board with the campaign.

THAT is a far more plausible outcome than Ron Paul actually winning any of the primary contests and becoming a contender for the nom.

There isn't going to be a brokered convention...if that's what you're thinking...

I think by long haul the article meant RP and MR are the only ones who stand a chance as the article said that RP has the resources to continue and nothing about RP's attitude to not stop campaigns.

no solution from voting for NWO controlled candidates
