He's just being a good Dittohead.

I disagree. The paul or no one movement will pick up steam and probably represents the feelings of most RP supporters.
The GOP recognizes this, see Palins comments a few weeks ago, and in a general election against BHO, they need every vote.
The movement will pick up steam among Paul supporters. For those not already hitched to his star, what point would there be?
Yeah, but they also recognize that the entirety of Paul supporters hovers around 10-12% of the total number of voters for the R primary process. 10% is less than the spread in some of these primaries; so even a complete migration from Paul to a single different candidate could be pointless, depending on the candidate to whom the support was thrown. So in the GOP eyes, Paul's contribution in terms of voters is minimal. And I think they're stupidly counting on the Anybody-But-Obama vote to keep people loyal to the R brand.
Unfortunately, that 10% is greater than the percentage difference by which the general election will be determined in November. So typical of the Big Party Machine, short-sightedness will be the undoing in the end.
Dr. Paul does not poll to badly against the President , much better than Newt , about the same as Santorum , but not nearly as well as Mitt . Mitt is probably the only one who can make it a close race . Dr. Paul is getting treated nicely because the contenders want his support and because they dont view him as a threat.Check out polls on the candidates vs Obummer. Dr. Paul does very very well.

Dr. Paul is pretty far to the right for most Dems and Independents. Most of the country falls closer to the middle.I can understand this line of thought although I can't get there.
What it boils down to, all those that would vote for Romney will vote for Paul. The GOP will cast a vote against Obama no matter who it is. Romney will not get nearly as many dems and independents that Paul would. In a close race, right there is the difference between 4 more of BHO and him going back to Chicago.

If they are nice and respectful to you then they do not fear you. Ron Paul is a non-player.
Well, no luck on any respect for RP flowing over the airwaves from Rush. I heard him briefly today while Ramsey was on commercial break.
A caller was making an argument that if Romney is the nominee by May, it may influence the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare because of Romney's similar system in Mass. The point being, SCOTUS may be more likely to uphold Obamacare knowing that Romney as potential POTUS would simply throw up his hands and roll over.
Interesting way to connect the dots by the caller. I hadn't really considered that and I'm still pondering it. Anyway, back to RP, Rush goes on about how the GOP needs to accept that each of the candidates, then he mentions Santorum, Gingrich, and Romney all have voted for or said things in the past that are not traditionally conservative.
Hmmmm....I can think of one candidate that has a consistently conservative voting record. Too bad Rush can't even mention his name!
Oh, and I guess Rush is planning on making his big endorsement tomorrow in Florida before the voting begins. Guess he won't be endorsing Dr Paul.
