And There Goes Another One

So, as most people know, Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race now, and I think people will be surprised at how big an impact this will make, just like John Edwards dropping out of the Democratic race did. I think everyone needs to go read his goodbye speech. It's actually really good. But anyway, him dropping out is either going to put more support behind Huckabee, bringing him neck and neck with McCain, or just totally deenergize the conservative part of the Republican party. This could possibly cause some vicious splintering in the Republican side. But on the Democratic side, it's probably gonna get even worse. Because Hillary and Obama are about neck and neck right now, there's a good chance Obama will pull it out just barely by getting delegates in the upcoming Democratic caucuses. Oh yay! Socialism in the White House!. But anyway, in the Democratic convention, most polls show that Hillary's got the super delegates, and she actually has a chance of getting the Florida delegates validated. If this happens and Obama is ahead before it does, it's definitely gonna mean all out war at the Democratic convention. I mean the like party splintering into two and some people dying kind of war. But still, it doesn't look good for either Democratic nominee. All polls show Hillary losing by a large margin to McCain, and most polls show Obama losing just barely to McCain. This margin would probably become bigger as people realize that Obama doesn't know a thing about foreign policy.
Anyway, what does all of this mean to Ron Paul? Well, he now has 42 delegates secured. Of course, he can't win with that, but if he ran for third party and it was a Hillary versus McCain election, he could garner a lot of support. At the very least, he would get a chance to serve as anyone's treasury secretary. God we need him as our treasury secretary. We need to get value back into the dollar. But either way, even if he just goes back to being a representative from the 6th District of Texas, his message of Freedom and Constitutionalism will never die.
