Ron Paul could not win in New Hampshire with independents in the Republican Party in the most libertarian state of the nation, and therefore in my opinion I am calling it now for the end of Ron Paul’s candidacy. Sure, he can pull a Howard Dean and get some great/cushy position after the fact, but as of trying to win the Presidency, if the libertarian guy cannot do well in a libertarian state, then explain how he can do well anywhere else?

Essentially it’s like Guiliani not winning the race in New York–if he cannot win in the state where he should be the most popular–then he certainly is not going to do any better elsewhere.

Hate mail be damned, Ron Paul is effectively finished in his run for the Presidency.
