CNN Asks Ron Paul To Drop Out & Endorse Romney Despite His Chances To Win 5/9/12 - YouTube

Does not sound like he's to warm on the idea. I will say, the only way i think he would come out and endorse Romney, is if Rand is the VP.

Ya think just maybe you're being a wee bit dramatic?

I don't think I'm being dramatic. If anything, I am only expressing apathy, not drama.

when asked why RP is running as a Republican, we're told that he's trying to save the party.

Now that he's trying to unite the party because he realizes that four more years of Obama would be disastrous, he is called a "sellout" and his bandwagon supporters start wringing their hands.

If Ron endorses Mitt, I'd become physically sick, followed by straight anarchist (exaggeration)

*not to justify rand's decision, but unlike his son, Ron isn't running for any office next year (or the next 20). He has no reason to deliver the company line.

If he gave in and endorsed the status quo, I'd be disappointed.

Establishment Republicans have been eager to get past the part of the election cycle where Ron Paul has played an outsized role. Rand Paul’s recent endorsement of Mitt Romney divided libertarians, but the Paul heir’s apparent capitulation to business as usual actually underscores how the GOP faces a more complex challenge to the ideological status quo.

I wouldn't really care if Paul endorsed Romney that much. It might bother a little, but I'd just write it off as something he was doing for his son.

America got what it asked for, so how is that not winning?

And really, you got what you asked for, vfj. Romney wasn't even the the first choice of most GOP voters during the primaries. Seems like every 6 weeks or so, some other candidate was popping up to be the next "Anybody but Romney" candidate. He couldn't get traction over 25% for a long time. He was just able to finally outlast his competitors.

Romney definitely comes out looking like John Kerry and Bob Dole - the JV candidate that gets trotted out to run against the incumbent Prez.
