I mean despite the fact that he's in last place still, he's still staying in the race and he's outlasted Thompson, Romney and that god-awful Giuliani. That's real determination right there if you ask me.

I can agree with that.

:clapper:

Props to Ron Paul for extreme fortitute in the face of an impossible proposition.

... still in and with a balanced campaign budget, a glaring LACK of hypocrisy in his platform, and a record of change.

Something none of the other candidates can match.

However, McCain has something Ron Paul can't match, almost 70% of the delegates required to win the nomination.

McCain also has a history of flip-flopping on certain issues too, but that obviously doesn't matter to some people.

Thats WHY he has delegate support Mic. ;)

It matters more than anything, to the party heads, on both sides of the aisle.

An insignificant amount of delegate support.

What makes you think it matters to anyone in either party? Politics is a game of reading the whims of the public and controlling their perceptions. It has been that way for almost the entire span of U.S., and nearly every "democratic" country or city state since western democracy was invented in Athens.
