    Ron Paul posted this video to supporters on March 6, 2008, after the Texas primary which followed the media saying right after Super Tuesday tht Ron had pulled out of the race. Despite press releases to the contrary, the 'pickups' of that false statement were never corrected. I think this says, at the time he decided the handwriting was on the wall, exactly what he was planning, so far as he knew it at that time.

    Note that the first disbursement was a month later after he set it up. I was in favor of his pursuing Campaign for Liberty, and I maxed out. I think he was very above board about what he was doing. I was wrong about his sending money there, I only looked at the FEC report at the end. But I also thought he had paid for the rally out of campaign funds and now I wonder which entity paid for that...

    That's true, it is quite a bit of money that was donated during last few moneybombs "to win". I remember it well. I ran into someone at the gas station who thought Ron Paul dropped out. But Ron Paul STILL has a heck of a following. I see Ron's first book post-super tuesday being a NY times bestseller.

    Of course Ron's goal is that victory is accomplished by changing history.
