Three things:
1) Ron Paul said he will keep going as long he has the support and money is rolling in.
2) Ron Paul wants you to be a delegate in your conventions. By sending in everyone we can to National Convention, Paul will have won without nomination.
3) It is not about a man, but about a message.
It is vitally important to remind yourself that POTUS, Legislators and judges are ultimately public servants, and they should be bound to us, the people. People has been conditioned to look at POTUS as the singular nation leader not realizing that POTUS has so little power given by Constitution compared to a state governor. It would be more proper to think of POTUS as an administrator rather than a leader, actually.
And Paul is pretty much a proper guy for this: he not only knows his stuff, but also calls a spade a spade, and we should be cheering every time he does that. Even if that wasn't what we wanted to hear.
The objective should be this:
Send in 1191 National Delegates who are supporters of Ron Paul. Even if they're bound to another candidates.
In order to do that, we need learn the rules and play the games in our states' parties convention and secure a majority showing. Even if your state's primary/caucus is past, they may not have selected a slate yet.
Paul can win without nomination. Paul can win only if you win.
There are several threads out there discussing delegates strategies, a sticky on GOP Rules by states, a inspring thread by DeepThroat, and more.
