Uhh, yea its over. The idea that you're going to sway tons of delegates to vote for someone they weren't chosen to vote for is ridiculous.
qwerty.....its been very negative here tonight......dissapointing

Well first off you've only given him a few hours since McCain actually clinched it and before tonight Paul said he would stay in as long as his supporters wanted him too. Since people kept donating to him he stayed in the race.
Ever since Super Tuesday and even before Paul hasn't won any states. It was clear from them he didn't have much of a shot at winning. He stayed in though to appease his supporters and continue to spread his message, just like he's doing right now.
I think it's over.
In Ron Paul's own words: "I have no Democrat opponent in November and will serve another term in Congress where I will continue my battle in behalf of taxpayers"
I think it would be dumb if he ran third party/independent, but I would vote for him. Hopefully there is another Ron Paul candidate come 2012.
Okay I'll play..
imagine an alternative universe:
.... where Ron Paul has won over 1,100 delegates.. and McCain has won fewer than 100
.... and yet somehow at the convention McCain's people maneuver to win the nomination and Paul loses it
..... would you, as Ron Paul supporter, be a little upset? would you think it was fair that McCain won? would you feel like the will of the voters was respected at the convention? could you support McCain as the nominee when your guy had 10x as many people vote for him?
