Ron Paul Keeps on Going, and Going and Going

Ron Paul Ron Paul is still in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, technically that is. With John McCain already having more than enough delegates to get the nomination, it would take something unprecedented for Paul to be the nominee, but yet he hopes to make an impact. And he is.

At this point it is all about having his agenda on the Republican platform and since he is running unopposed for his Congressional seat, he will be around for at least another 2 years to put forth his ideas to whoever the next president is. But for now, he is still getting support in the primaries and still having a great deal of influence like in the Nevada Convention last week.

Just this past weekend he had rallies in Indiana. And the campaign is contending that Delegates representing Ron Paul are being discriminated against at various state conventions including Missouri, Oklahoma, Nevada and Texas among others. Ron Paul’s supporters claim that the dates and times of the state conventions are being changed at the last minute, leaving his supporters with no voice in the process. They also accuse what they call party insiders of sneaking in delegates, who are not really delegates because they were never elected at the party caucuses. It does not stop there. They also accuse them of taking important documents out of the convention halls, and refusing to recognize legitimate delegates that do not belong to their faction.

To top it off, some of Ron Paul’s supporters are urging him to run on the Libertarian ticket. All of this adds up to a troubling situation for the Republican party. Not only is the party not unified behind McCain, but the goings on, no matter how much truth there is to them, are being played out in a very public way. With Paul still getting a decent percentage of the votes in the primaries and today’s will be watched very carefully, he is making an impact and with a good percentage of the vote, he will be hard to ignore at the Party Convention. And there he would get his word out for sure.

What should Paul do? Should he continue running for the Republican nomination, stop and support McCain or should he run on the Libertarian line. What is your opinion?
