The big mystery people have been asking for some time now is why has the Paul campaign treated Romney with kid gloves when he has gone so aggressively at the other candidates? Here is a post with Paul's perfectly unfolding strategy to become the one remaining 'Not-Romney' candidate in the GOP race.


The Not-Romney Candidate What is becoming increasingly clear, is that the Paul campaign is looking to become what has been termed the "Not-Romney" candidate. Tea Partiers, and the Republican base is definitely disappointed with Romney as their nominee. National polls have shown him to struggle breaking above 30%. Romney represents the liberal East Coast establishment candidate similar to John McCain (who although from Arizona was the epitome of a big government squishy Republican).

The Paul campaign recognized early on that the only candidate that would compete long term was Romney. Therefore, they looked to eliminate the 'chaff' in order to become the de facto 'Not-Romney' candidate. The sooner they can take down the other candidates, the better as it allows them to accumulate a larger share of the delegates.

Except we need momentum to be an anti-Romney, AND we need to make sure no one else takes that position.

We didn't win Iowa (the delegates possibly, but the MSM is never going to mention that), so we could get edged out of South Carolina by Santorum or Romney, in which case its either a "Romney sweep" or Santorum is the anti-Romney and we're a gadfly since we don't have a chance in hell of winning Florida and Nevada will be iffy with the Mormons, making our best shot at winning any state only coming for Super Tuesday.
 
The campaign needs early contingency action if this plan doesn't work out-- which is a possibility.

The Anti-Romney vote has a good chance at ending up back at Romney rather than Paul. Remember a lot of those Anti-Romney people are also Anti-Paul people too.
 
Only problem I foresee is there is no way if all the other asshats drop out any tv station will get Romney to debate Paul 1 on 1. Romney will simply scoff at the idea anyway unless of course the good Dr demands it by threatening a third party run. Romneys plan is Paul does not exist.

A lot of states between Nevada (feb 4th) and Super Tuesday (march 6th).

These are potential winning states:
Maine, Colorado, Minnesota, (Feb 7th and all caucus)

Washington (March 3rd caucus)

So we could go into Super tuesday with a few wins already.
 
Did no one read this? It's suggesting that RP will sell out for a speaking part or a VP slot for Rand.

"From there, Paul and his forces will be an enormous thorn in the side of Romney unless he cuts Paul a deal. Whether that is a prime speaking spot at the convention, a VP slot for Rand, a cabinet position, or some other combination. Romney is a man who deals and will want to save his resources and shift his campaign's focus against Obama as soon as possible. This strategy, although not a 'winning one' is one that will have a lasting legacy and impact within the Republican party."
