Ron Paul Has 'Em Right Where He Wants

Although his website says there are now only two contenders left in the presidential race, it appears noted Internet meme Ron Paul is dropping out of the presidential race.

Despite already saying he was dropping out of the race last month, In a message to his "supporters" last night Paul essentially conceded he wasn't going to win the presidency in a YouTube video.

Paul most likely decided to drop out not because John McCain has mathematically clinched the nomination, but because his supporters do not, in a sense, "exist." If you've been following this blog for the past few months, you may have known I have been the subject of death threats, complaints to my bosses (asking me to be fired) and other forms of awesome Internet hatred. These all pretty much came from Ron Paul supporters. But after a spam attack took down the website, I posted a link to this Onion story about Paul. It got zero comments.

One doesn't need to be a gynecologist to realize the truth: The new spam filters are catching all the Ron Paul supporters (correctly) as bots designed to post spam. At this point, I'm kind of confused, wondering if Ron Paul himself actually exists. Anyway, even though he's dropped out, he most certainly has a shot at winning the convention after his supporting cast of mind-controlling robots turn all the superdelegates into Ron Paul supporters. At the Democratic convention. Ohh, what a story that will be!
