I wonder if he means withdrawing as plaintiffs rather than what is happening at RNC?
If some think his posture might lose they may just not want to be hit with 'dismissal with prejudice. That isn't the same as selling out Ron. But I'm not clear what he is talking about.
I'm not either. And if I understand you correctly, you mean that if we had lost the case there might have been consequences that would have been worse than if it had never been filed? IOW, we would have just fought to win delegates?
I don't know. I wish I did. But I am worried that this was an orchestrated sabotage of the case by the RNC (and any rats within the Paul campaign) to take away any pro-Paul effect that the ruling would have had, if it had been given before "deals" were made.
Now let's say that the ruling is given and the delegates are ruled to be unbound. Then I don't see how any deals would be negative unless we wound up at the RNC with less delegates than we would have had if we could have gotten more to the RNC without making any deals.
People would be able to vote their conscience, but we would have less of our people there.
I'm spitballing here, but I really have a problem with the events that have happened in the last 24 hours, namely that RG tweeted he had to take an important phone call last night:
USA_Patriot_Press @USA_Free_Press
I will be back later. Important call
9:43 PM - 20 Aug 12 via web
Then we all wait to see what happens at 9 this morning, then all of a sudden there is a *report* of deals being made that included a statement that an announcement would be made this afternoon (Tuesday):
"The deal, which is expected to be announced Tuesday afternoon" -

The announcement as far as I know was never made.
What I am afraid of is that this has been an attempt to try and undermine any pro-Paul effect that winning the case might have.
Now, we could still win the case.
But I'm afraid that delegates are being shepherded here towards accepting that there really is NO chance of Paul becoming president.
Now, if that is what Paul wants, then there is really nothing anyone can do about it.
I'm not going to try and read the mind of Ron Paul, who I trust. And if he does NOT become president, then I will not give up on HIM. I trust his guidance.
My own personal opinion was and still is that he needs to be president.
But if Paul has a plan, I don't want to get in the way of it.
The fact is, I don't know.
I am putting my faith in Ron Paul. I will put my faith in my own belief that he knows what is going on.
I am trying to make sense of it all. I just have my own fears.
