Ron Paul isn’t going to be leaving the race any time soon, despite what will likely be a poor showing in FL tomorrow. Paul’s strategy here is to essentially ignore the media, the pundits, and all the horse race nonsense, and focus on the delegates. Paul will rack up as many delegates as he can, preferring to ignore winner take all states like FL for states where he can take whatever percentage of the delegates he can get. He continues to be ignored, but as I’ve stated before his opponents ignore him at their peril.
He is in this thing for the long haul. He will stay in until the convention. And why wouldn’t he? This is his final moment in professional politics, so he has no future career to worry about positioning for. He is well funded, and has a very hardcore base of support. There is an awful lot of voting that has yet to happen, and Paul will not be dropping out because “he has no momentum”.
And why would people do well to remember this? Well, Paul’s strategy is a smart one for an insurgent candidate fighting the party elite. Don’t believe me? Ask Hillary Clinton. This was Obama’s strategy before it was Paul’s.
