Has the Goofball Ron Paul dropped out yet? Haven't heard much from the old Kook lately

Your choices in November are the candidate for the position of Bush5.0 or the kook.

Go Ron Paul!

Ah, Wikipedia strikes again.

Polls taken at the time pretty well prove that Ross Perot's bizarre 1992 campaign gave the U.S. presidency to Bill Clinton. That's twenty-year-old history.

What is "Bush 5.0?"

Bush-Clinton-Bush-obama-whoever wins in November = Bush dynasty 5.0 (OK, if the current denizen of the WH wins, it'll remain Bush 4.0)

Actually, I liked Perot, looney tunes and all. Even 20 years ago, many of us realized that we need a change of direction in DC. If it weren't for that weasel Scott Barnes, Perot would have had a better showing. One thing to his advantage is that Perot financed a lot of his campaigning out of pocket. He wasn't bought off with campaign contributions.

I don't recall Perot ever having much of a chance.  Didn't he only score like single digits in the election?

Nineteen percent as I recall.

That old kook has quietly, ( his people have ) been working the local and state conventions picking off delegates to the national convention, while The Kook himself still draws large crowds at the town halls he holds, some even in inclement weather.

With any luck at all, not likely to happen, but still possible for Paul to be on the ballot at the Convention, that great sucking sound will be your arse puckering up against the cushion you happen to be sitting on.

Now he says "probably about Wednesday, May 2."  But I think he said he is "suspending" his campaign at one point.  When Herman Cain "suspended" his there were a few on this forum who pointed out that was different from "quitting."  Even questioned my comprehension in doing so.  Oh well, is the Newt "quitting" or just "suspending"? 

Another question:  if a fellow announces in advance by a week or so that he is "suspending" his campaign for president, does that imply he will be balls out campaigning until that date arrives?  Or has he effectively "suspended" it the moment he announces a date he plans to "suspend" it?
