Ron Paul’s still in the race?

Apparently he is, and he is refusing to turn his supporters over to John Sidney McCain III.

“We agree with the Old Right,” Paul tells Ralph Hallow, “and they’re the New Right, which is The Wrong.”

According to voters polls, the Republican Party in 2008 could certainly use an extra 800,000 committed voters and dedicated donors. Oklahoma’s Rep. Tom Cole told Paul he’d like to see them remain in the party.

There’s more than one serious problem, but one big one is called Iraq. The 72-year-old Paul wants all U.S. troops out ASAP, as part of the demolition of the American overseas empire, and the money spent back home. The 71-year-old McCain has made steadfast support of the war surge and winning there a bulwark of his campaign. And he just went there to underline that.

    If he wants to become president and make a change in the US so badly, I want to know why he never goes public. I never hear about him on the news, the most I’ve seen of him on TV was a picture of him on The Daily Show… and in which he wasn’t even discussed.

    Well, he was not considered “credible” by the mainstream media except for a brief time in January, so they didn’t bother to discuss him. He took every opportunity he had to get coverage, it’s just that he wasn’t offered very many. This is despite the fact that he’s raised a lot of money, has many supporters and did fairly well (second/third/fourth place) in the early caucuses.

    I think the War in Iraq has taken a back seat for now. The economy has become the big thing, and he has, surprisingly, gotten a lot of news attention from it.

    Witness this op-ed in Forbes magazine, for instance: http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/04/election-economy-paul-oped-cx_rp_0304ronpaul.html
