It seems to me we're talking about who would help Paul by dropping out and when it comes to that I think it's got to be Thompson and McCain and I'm amazed no one else voted for them.
Rudy is a hard nose on crime and national security. A real neocon's neocon. If he left most of his supporters would go to some other "frontrunner", not Paul.
Honestly, I don't think the Zionist war hawk TaxHikeMike is taking votes away from Ron Paul. He's basically the exact opposite of Ron Paul.
Romney is a big open target. He's the Republican John Kerry or worse, the Republican Clinton. I might be able to buy that he changed his mind on abortion, but when he tries to sell himself as a fiscal conservative and being strongly opposed to illegal immigration it's ridiculous. He's good at making people think he's someone he isn't, but all it takes is one informed candidate to say, "You're right Mitt you did lower taxes, you just raised everything else." I'm amazed state tuition going up 63% has not been used on him a lot.
These are the people Ron Paul wants to run against because all of them have the kind of supporters that probably won't ever support Ron Paul.
In comparison a lot of Thompson voters left over are the federalists, people big into state's rights and all that. Most of the conservatives have already jumped into other camps, especially Huckabee's. If Thompson left it's likely a lot of his supporters would go to Paul.
McCain seems to get a lot of the moderates, people who don't really like the frontrunners. I think a lot of Paul supporters could come out of him.
I don't think any Ron Paul supporters will be coming out of Huckabee, Rudy, or Romney and I don't think any Paul supporters would even consider going for them. So, that makes them the people we want most to remain so that they divide the people who won't support Paul.
