Certain defeat doesn't deter Ron Paul or his backers
2008-04-08
That's unfortunate.
Ask Rep. Ron Paul, who keeps running for the Republican nod, what fictional figure he is like and he can't come up with an answer. It's probably Sisyphus, given his hopeless but continuing quest to push for the nomination. . . .

Dr. Paul -- who was raised in Green Tree and went to the University of Pittsburgh's medical school -- remains in the Republican race even though Sen. John McCain clinched the nomination March 4. (In Ohio, Dr. Paul got 49,000 votes to Mr. McCain's 635,000.) He blames those results largely on the voters mainstream media ignoring him, and says he remains in the race because of his supporters, 500 of whom packed a standing-room-only IUP auditorium.

"What kept me going ... I think it was the enthusiasm from my supporters. They just wouldn't let me go away," he told a small group of reporters.
For God's sake, man, file stalking charges and have the court issue a restraining order! You could get your life back!

#5  I just had a bizarre thought. If it comes out that McCain is gay or a baby raper or something, Paul might be able to grab the nomination. Not that he is, but I've been fooled before.

#4  Well, I guess you could say he has, um, tenacity.
Or something.

#2  The less than successful malady, of 'making friends and influencing people', apparently has spread to the Obama camp as well.
