As the Democratic presidential candidates held pre-primary rallies yesterday in Indiana and North Carolina, and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain spoke to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, another major-party presidential candidate continued his own quest for nomination, headlining a "Freedom Rally" on a Fort Wayne, Ind., university campus.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) told supporters in early March, through a Web video, that he knew he was no longer in the running for the presidency, and aides said his campaign would be "winding down." But it turns out Paul never stopped running for president.

It's about time he threw in the towel. Appropriate picture, btw - guess he gave up on his brilliant plant to sabotage the RNC this summer. Now, his kooky supporters actually expect them to give him a prime-time speaking slot, after RuPaul has stated he wouldn't vote for McCain, just like he refused to vote for Bush both times. Loser, indeed.

I am tempted to re-sign up at CU just to post that pic.

Yep -- one post, hit and run.

I won't be back.

For all I know I have been banned - PG said "good" and I don't know if it was for the post or my comment.
