He didn't capitulate. He stayed in the race for the nomination until the last States had voted and he never withdrew, even though he only had 14 pledged Delegates. Do you think he could have switched to a third party for the Presidential race and for his Congressional race and won either then? Probably not. Could he have run third party in the Presidential race and as a Republican for his Congressional race? Probably not.
I know, it is difficult to accept that Ron is not in the race with any more fervor and fire than last time. Being left at the alter one time is usually sufficient. Tis for me.
There has always been the possibility that Ron is nothing more than a stalking horse, to keep a true conservative from running with intent to create a third party.
Perot garnered 20 million votes, then he dropped out.
Good thing for America that he got agreeable about returning to Congress a dozen times.

I don't get that impression.

I don't even see a true conservative around besides him. Which one do you think would want to run with intent to create a third party?
I do not understand how Paul can be a conservative and still maintain he will be a republican member until he dies.
But he didn't say that he will be a Republican member until he dies. You read it that way when all he said at the time to his campaign supporters was that he was going to remain a Republican re: the Presidential race, since he also had to run for his Congressional seat. Maybe that wasn't clear enough for you but it was to me. Why you accuse him of being a capitulator because he stayed in the '08 race as a Republican, when switching to a third party run then would probably have resulted in him being out of office four years ago, I don't know. No doubt he'd like to be able to help the Republican Party find its way back to its roots and maybe he can do that better by forming a Jeffersonian-Republican wing. Whether he moves to do that during this race or after or not, he states very directly here at 8:38 [uploaded Mar 31, 2012] that the obligation of politicians is the Oath of Office, not an oath to the Party.
His support money is drying up for a reason and he will be operating on a shoestring if he remains a republican. With seven months to go he has less than two million in cash.
It is quite evident that his support is realizing they are enduring yet another lost cause. after his Trotski memo four years ago, I put away my checkbook as did most others. Never opened it this time around.
