Yeah It's never good to place last but in this instance it's not so bad being a close 4th. In a state like SC where it's largely Neo-Conservitive country that will Boo the golden rule and ignore massive infidelity. You have to concede that Ron Paul doesn't quite fit in. The big game changer in this primary was Romney being knocked off his horse, not being dubbed the de-facto nominee with a SC win. This is a positive for all Non-Romney candidates in-particular Ron Paul as the longer this race is in contention the more time we have to change minds and build steady support. Our growth is consistent we don't surge, we don't fall off cliffs like so many others have before us.

Going forward if we can win some states like Nevada and place in the top two consistently we have a chance at gaining momentum, taking this race all the way to the convention. That would have massive effect on the Republican party. If we garner a third or more of the delegates forcing a brokered convention with two candidates left say Gingrich and Romney. Ron suddenly would have a lot of leverage on both of them, changing their platforms in hopes of winning his delegates and thus the nomination.  Can you say Fed audit?

I'm not ruling out Ron Paul winning the nomination because it's still VERY possible provided the economy takes a dive and inflation returns with a Fed QE3. This is not out of the question this is actually likely the way things are going right now, 2 months+ for these events to occur and still allow time for a Paul surge. Other than that happening or some other act outside our control falling in our favour I don't think we will influence enough sheeple locked into the 'matrix' to come out for Paul this year.

No matter what is said in the press right now this race is wide open, no Romney de-facto nominee talk. Right now you would've been hearing that the race was over and it was a Romney win. The longer this is drawn out and the establishment has to argue with Ron, the more people will see the truth.  Don't lose faith in the cause, this isn't 100% about getting the oval office but changing minds, at least trying to stop tyranny's march. All we can be expected to do is give our all in this fight, the house of cards will fall regardless the issue is how will our nation reconstruct in the aftermath. Here and now the correct solutions are being given, the reasons behind the collapse. This is more important than anything thing anyone is doing outside this presidential race.
