I wouldn't exactly call an endorsement from Graham an accomplishment

Really? Why not? I heard Bob Dole endorsed Jeb.
I'm kidding but I think Rand at this point in juncture could use a big endorsement to create some more momentum.
Who was that TX guy that Rand went on a business trip with to PR? Maybe get him back and a PAC started?

If Thiel doesn't endorse and donate to Rand then he ain't worth his salt as a bonafide libertarian activist/donor/whatever, especially after this lineup has been dwindled and Rand had a great debate performance. I'm not one to say that anyone owes a blank check but if they claim a certain territory then they're beholdened to show up and drive. We all do it according to our means so that is what is expected of Thiel to some extent in this movement - otherwise stfu and say/do nothing in the political realm. If Thiel wants to stay out of this altogether, then that's his biz but he's no ally of mine since he should know better about the whole situation.

Ouch. Its pretty true.
But I think Peter got turned off after he fucked up and burned $2M on that no name Ron Paul super pac ran out of a supporter's basement (I think it was literally in the basement) that made some cool videos but didn't really do much in terms of actual results in the primary.
Anybody remember the name of that PAC? I'm curious to look up their expenditures during the cycle.
Peter has also said in many interviews that he thinks his money is better spent in the private sector.

Holy shit, the guy spent a lot of money on video production and Facebook ads but spent the MOST on google ads (up to 30k/day)
I don't even think he knew what he was doing.
Treasurer's name : Abraham Neiderhauser

Scott is trying to play kingmaker in S.C, and has held public meetings all the candidates. He will endorse someone in December.
Rand has a good chance of winning that endorsement. Rand should be the the candidate that is closest to him philosophically. But he could also endorse Rubio if he thinks he will be rewarded for it in future donations. Cruz is too partisan and only preaches to the faithful.
