The grassroots should advocate (circa mid-March) for Ron to run 3rd party if it's clear by or after the Texas primary that he can't win the GOP race. Clear, as in being mathematically out of the delegate hunt. If it's a 30%-30% situation with nobody winning the delegate race pre-convention, we start a special spring-summer campaign to win a brokered con. As in: Paul commissions polls to show he's better against Hillary/Obama than the other Republican, continues to get money bomb millions from the grassroots (April 15 'No IRS' MB, Memorial day antiwar MB, Independence Day Freedom MB etc.).
Paul may even try to get the LP nomination Memorial Day in Denver---talk about a major, double news blip for Paul if he does that the day as the holiday money bomb! A MILLION Ron Paul supporters show up at the Republican convention, doing daily rallies urging that he be the nominee. Paul demands the nomination and gets it due to these combined circumstances.
If Paul quits the GOP primaries and elects NOT to do a 3rd party run, the movement converts to a national "Hope for America" CONGRESSIONAL project to elect Paulite candidates to office. Post-Paul, we will need to create a few younger senior elected officials in order for one of them to have the 'street creds' to run for President in 2012 as Paul did this year. The formula is: find a Constitutionalist/Libertarian who can competitvely run for the Republican nomination in a Republican leaning district (or who can run as a Ron Paul Democrat in a Democratic district), on the same agenda that Paul has on his slimjims. The best prospect right now is Murray Sabrin, the Austrian-trained finance professor running for Senate in NJ.
Alternatively, the grassroots could work both on electing Paulites to Congress WHILE working on Paul's campaign for president. We need (ultimately) both a Ron Paul presidency and a Paulite Congress to do all things we want.
