We have to give Ron Paul credit for staying in the Republican race. It looks like McCain has the nomination for sure, but Paul seems to be going strong. He has raised a total of over $6 million this quarter alone.
All throughout this election most people forgot that Paul was a congressman from the 14th district in Texas. He is starting to get nervous since his challenger, Chris Peden, portrays himself as everything the incumbent isn't: a loyal, mainstream conservative Republican. You think since Paul was running for President he would have more support from his district. Paul bowed out of a big Houston energy forum to focus on his congressional reelection in the short time remaining before the Texas primary March 4. If he prevails in the Texas primary and becomes the Republican nominee to return to Congress, his burden will be much lighter, enabling him to rededicate himself to the presidential race. paul has refocused his attention onto his congressional campaign where he is shown ahead in some polls, but we all know how those polls can be wrong.
Ron Paul has the answers, but nobody is listening. Isn't it funny how people are so afraid of change? So far many of Paul's supporters have been speaking out on why Paul is the best man for the President. I wonder if people are even hearing? I guess we will all find out in the primaries on Tuesday.

It will be interesting to see whether or not any of Paul's ardent supporters actually live in his district - I know with Kucinich the majority of his campaign donations are from his former-presidential campaign supporters (who do not live in his district), so Kucinich's monetary support may not translate into home district votes. Buit there is no doubt that Paul has been much more successful with raising money for his presidential campaign than Kucinich has...
The problem with Paul is that he is inferior to McCain as a liberal Republican - and he is too liberal to attract conservative voters, which is catching up to him now as a congressman. I wonder which race he would prioritize - drop out of the presidential race to focus on his congressional run, or drop from Congress and attempt the unlikely win for the presidency,
