Regarding the recent resignation of Fidel Castro, Paul, who resides on the House Foregin Relations Committee, responded by saying "Fidel Castro was a brutish dictator who for fifty years robbed the Cuban people of their liberty. While his resignation does not mean the end of communism in Cuba, it is good to see him go."

Paul Update Feb. 18-24
On February 18th, Paul further showed his consistent support and plans to stick out the race when he gained over 10,000 signatures (the minimum being 2,000) to be placed on the Pennsylvania primary ballot (the Pennsylvania Republican Primary will take place on April 22). He told CNN, "I will stay in as long as my supporters want me to. And I say as long as the number of volunteers continues to grow, and the money comes in, and there are primaries out there, and they want me to be involved, I am going to stay involved." Supporters are undoubtedly continuing to show support as demonstrated at a University of Texas rally where over 4,000 students participated. Currently, Ron Paul has 14 delegates for the National Convention.

Though Ron Paul's lackluster performace in the Republican primary cast him out of competition for the nomination long ago, the aging congressman could play an important role in the coming months if he decides to run as an independent candidate. Ron Paul's fundraising prowess and popularity among young voters ensure his ability to get on the ballot in most states, and should he decide to run, Ron Paul could potentially harm the Republicans enough to cost McCain the election.
