Ron Paul's Nevada Disappointment
"The end results for Ron Paul in Nevada were nearly heartbreakingly disappointing--third behind Gingrich with 18.7 percent, just 6,175 total votes in a very low turnout caucus vote, with more than 10,000 fewer GOP caucus goers than 2008. This was for a campaign and candidate that expected at the least a strong second and, if they continued their pattern of enormous state-by-state increases vs. their vote totals in 2008, maybe even win."

I'm actually surprised that Ron Paul didn't do better this year in all the contests. Considering the enthusiastic supporters he has along with the low turnout in general. I didn't think he would win, but at one point it looked like he might accumulate more delegates than Gingrich or Santorum.
- he'll run as an Independent and ruin it for the Convservative party. Unless he's paid off, much like Mr. Joe Lieberman, Perot or Nader.NORRINRADD
