Ron Paul has understood the system he is in. Four years ago, with a substantial number of delegates won in the trenches, the Republican Party wouldn't let them in at the convention that proclaimed McCain their choice. He knew the media would not give him the gift worth millions in advertising. . . . free publicity.
So he has done his battle on the ground, and continues to do better than the media will admit, or report.
The GOP is facing another top-down election with a "chosen" elitist at the top of the ticket who is pretty much poison to their future as a party, while a growing number of the grass roots are snowballing into a cohesive political movement that will revolutionize, that is, seize control of the GOP during the next presidential cycle, when whoever is in the President's chair is clearly not a real American. Well, defined as someone who believes in human rights, like the American Revolution was all about.
Here's a little "news" leaking through the curtain of silence:

Ron Paul will be taking a majority of the delegates from Minnesota, Iowa, Maine, Colorado, and Texas to Tampa, with a key committed supporter from Colorado taking a seat on the rules committee, and many other committed grass roots people taking influential positions within the Party.
Perhaps the most vile rumor the conservative/tea party supporters of Newt floated was the "news" that Romney and Paul have a positive relationship and have not actually been doing a lot of negative rhetoric against each other, at least in the form of personal attacks.
I am beginning to think Romney will decide he has to cover the middle himself, and choose Paul as his running mate to keep those dedicated Ron Paul supporters and a lot of Bible-belt conservatives on the team. He would also get a lot of young and democratic supporters who are focused on personal liberties and stopping the senseless foreign wars.
But would he still get the financial support from the banks, the MIC corporates, and other moderate closet "progressives".
