I think he views this Presidential campaign as the last chance that he can get a lot of attention, so why bother with being 1/435? It's a strategic play to do what he thinks is the best chance to spread his message.

I was sort of joking. Paul is delusional about alot of things but prob not THAT delusional about his non existent chances.

I remember when he was on Colbert or TDS or something, and he joked around that he might actually have a shot at winning. He's always been about the message. It's why he stayed in so long in 2008. Getting more people to hear what you have to say is the only way to attract more people to support what he believes. You don't have to win to make a difference in that. However, sometimes you publicly need to be unrealistic otherwise you won't get people jumping on board. How many people won't vote for someone just because they have "no shot at winning". By that logic, unless the polls are incredibly close, just vote for winners! Although for President in the general election, should I vote for who is going to win my state, or who will win overall?

Ron Paul vs Bernanke: Is Gold Money? - July 13, 2011

bills217 · 07-13-2011, 02:20 PM

Bernanke's response as to why central banks hold gold is classic.

Can you imagine if, on a conference call, some analyst asked Steve Ballmer or John Chambers why they made such-and-such strategic decision and they said, "It's a tradition"?

DERRY, N.H. — Texas Congressman Ron Paul topped a straw poll of declared Republican candidates in this first-in-the-nation presidential primary state.

Conducted last weekend by the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers, the poll included Mitt Romney, the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts and the winner of the 2008 GOP primary here.

Paul garnered 39 percent of the straw poll vote, followed by Rick Santorum with 12 per cent and Michele Bachman and Herman Cain with 11 percent.

Romney got 9 percent of the vote, Tim Pawlenty, 8 percent, and Gary Johnson, 7 percent.

Why does Paul claim that the dollar has been devalued by 50% over the last 3 years? Not because gold has doubled over that period I hope...

He doesn't actually believe he'll be president.

So, while he might feel too old to be a congressman or president, he might not feel too old to campaign for the presidential nomination for the next year (particularly if he doesn't plan to try too hard).
