Ron's site had the Houston Presidential Summit listed for the 28th. It is no longer there
http://www.houstonspresidentialsummit.com/meet-speakers/index.html
yesterday Ron was listed here as a speaker
http://www.houstonspresidentialsummit.com/about-event/index.html
That link showed Ron speaking at 10 am
Either Ron or the energy summit cancelled his appearance.

I really hope so. This article says it's so he can stay and vote, which is important too as he can not be slacking on his CD.

However, I was really hoping to see Ron speak truth to all these energy executives.
Yep, the speech on the 28th was the only thing planned nationally and Paul cancelled it.
Not one visit to Ohio it appears....great.
So according to the congressional campaign, RP is polling 72% to 15% (or similarly dominant) against Peden yet still theres no space for a couple stops in Ohio for their primary? Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode when I think of what has become of the presidential campaign.

So the Rawstory article [http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Paul_Im_not_likely_to_win_0225.html] may after all be correct. It says Ron Paul believes he is not going to win and reading between the lines he would quit as soon as his supporters stop supporting him.
Me thinks, internally, within the RP campaign something has been afoot for several weeks to deliberately suppress the support. I cannot believe for one New York second the blunders by HQ were actually "blunders". Ron Paul had access to a powerful brain-trust of well-known libertarians, constitutionalist writers and intellectuals, a grassroots movement with brilliant movers and shakers that was short of phenomenal and the people he hired were all politically seasoned experienced people.
I just find it all to weird to think back at what happened in NH. I can't get it out of my head, why did Ron Paul lose NH, it was within his grasp. It was his! At the very least 3rd place was his and McCain would have been history instead of the other way around
I don't want to hijack this thread but it looks very, very strange. Anyone else sense this? May explain why these events are disappearing and why the campaign looks like its slowly drawing down.

so what do you think is afoot? Why would they suppress the support?
If the "blunders" were not actually blunders....what were they?
Just curious what your thoughts are.
Wait... what? Why would Paul cancel the speech on the 28th??? How did you find this out?

We are being treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed bullshit. Again, he has been threatened and shut down.
I am beginning to think that the powers that be are afraid of the grassroots. Paul called for a March, he called for a massive showing, he said he wanted to see something big because that is what it is going to take to turn this thing around. Now for weeks, there has been silence...........they have warned him to not organize us.
After march 3rd if we don't hear from him, you can bet this is the story. Now if that was true, and he Paul came out and tells us he was threatened, how would all these people take that news? I don't think it would be pretty and I think, or maybe I hope Paul has been silent trying to protect his supporters from themselves.

Well, haven't you heard? They don't want to peak out too early. They still have a lot of money. There's going to be a big advertising blitz and they're going to take everyone by surprise. It's a secret strategy, you know... 
But seriously, I've wondered many hours about all these blunders, and I've come to the conclusion that there are only a couple of possibilities:
They are either simply incompetent, or self-sabotaged themselves due to fear of success, or didn't want to win in the first place, or were being threatened, extorted or manipulated in some manner to commit these blunders to diminish their chances.
And then, the coup de grâce: A day or two before the Washington caucuses the campaign sent out an email in Ron's name that quoted Trotsky of all people and said that the chances for a brokered convention were "close to zero". Also, he finally ruled out an independent or third party run. Things have been going seriously downhill every since.
Stranger things have happened in the past, but it does look like they probably didn't want to win this time. Ron already risked his life by running in the first place so I don't believe he was threatened or would have given in to threats (unless they were against his family... who knows?)
Maybe the campaign is gearing up for a 2012 run? It's always tempting to believe that they have a secret ace up their sleeves, that they know something that we don't, and that they are about to implement a masterful plan that nobody would have ever thought of and that will lead us to victory.
This reminds me of the millions of Germans in WWII who patiently endured years of murderous bombardments until the very last day because Nazi propaganda led them to believe that a "secret weapon" (nuclear bomb) was about to be completed which, once unleashed, would change everything... but we all know how that ended.

The sad part is that the daily decline in donations is probably taking its toll. People are supporting Ron Paul with their wallets increasingly less, which slams morale at the top, perhaps even among Paul himself. Ron Paul always said he would keep going as long as supporters continue to grow and the money comes in. He may well be re-evaluating his continuation soon if we start having days where we barely break $1000, which is all too likely from how it looks at this point.

You are right. New Hampshire killed us. He was polling up to 14%, his supporters were everywhere. I find it really hard to believe that he would ever get less votes than what he was polling, because 90 percent of his supporters never get polled. There was major funny business going on in New Hampshire, and it killed this campaign.
