Paul Continues After Finishing 4th in South Carolina
Texas Congressman Ron Paul finished in fourth place tonight in the South Carolina Republican primary, but he showed no sign of quitting soon. Despite coming in last among the remaining lead contenders, Paul vowed to continue promoting his messages about reforming monetary policy and ending military engagement overseas.
“You know what’s different today? We are the next generation and we’re suffering the consequences,” said Paul, who at 76 is the oldest candidate in the contest, during his concession speech before a boisterous crowd in Columbia, S.C. “We will win the battle for peace and prosperity.”

I don't think the GOP stands a chance without Ron Paul's youth vote. Even tonight, when you google Santorum, this is what you get.

The GOP has no chance of winning without the Independents and Paul's youth vote.

It's entirely possible that Paul could win the nomination...the pundits are saying that because they don't WANT him to.

"it appeared Perry, whose name remained on the ballot was in sixth place behind Herman Cain, the candidate who left the race weeks ago."
I love it! Stephen Colbert strikes again!

If Paul runs as an Independent - the GOP can just hang their hats, go home & begin to plan for 2016.

The funny thing amidst all of this is that a vast majority still actually believe that the integrity of the electoral process abides. The democratic republic is nothing more than a corporation with a democratic facelift. Right or left, every candidate save Ron Paul advocates a culture of dependency led by a star-system of two bit thespians reading the money changers' scripts.

Paul's presidential run can be summed up in two sentences: Nothing to loose. No chance to win. And thank goodness for the second part.

Paul has shown himself to unqualified to lead the country. I am staying out of Victoria until they vote this whack job out of office
