Benton: "We're looking potentially for Ron to be the vice presidential nominee”

CBS

 

Benton denies that speculation (as does Romney) and dismisses a possible prime convention speaking slot as ‘window dressing’."

 

‘It's something we'd like but it's not terribly important to us," he said. ‘We're looking potentially for Ron to be the vice presidential nominee...we're not looking for easy concessions like a speaking slot.’ He says the campaign would also push for a cabinet position for Paul or major changes to the party platform.”

 

For Ron Paul, winning isn't everything

At this point, it's clear that Texas Rep. Ron Paul is most likely not going to be the next president of the United States. Paul has yet to win a single contest (with one semi-exception), and CBS News estimates that he holds just 42 delegates - less than one tenth the delegates held by frontrunner Mitt Romney. Earlier this week, the last embedded reporter who had been covering Paul full time was pulled off the trail.

 

By the standards of the standard goal of a presidential run - actually winning the presidency - Paul's run is thus shaping up to be a failure. But victory was never the longtime Texas congressman's only goal: As Paul's team will openly admit, his presidential run has doubled as an effort to advance the Libertarian movement. And on that measure, there are reasons to already view it as a success.

With all the fraud in the primaries, I think Paul won most of them, if not all.  But the PTB surely don't want THAT!  So He will not win.  No matter if We ALL voted for Him.
