Unwilling to concede defeat in the face of mathematically impossible odds, Congressman Paul told potential delegates that he is still counting on their support "just in case something transpires."
"I mean, you just never know," said Paul, at a campaign rally in Charlotte, North Carolina Monday. "Though it would appear the American people are not connecting with my ideas of smaller government, less foreign intervention and a Federal Reserve audit, things can change very quickly in politics. I won't give up on this, dammit."
Hailing a return to the gold standard, Paul insisted that his message of creating a free market and reducing the role of government in fiscal matters might one day resonate with voters, even if that day is long after either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is elected to office.
"This might sound crazy, but I really think that if we all knuckle down and continue to espouse policies that remain true to our nation's founding document, there's always a chance - come March - that we will win November's election."
"At this point, I am ruling nothing out," continued Paul in front of a boisterous crowd. "I mean, who knows? Perhaps if I battle on long enough, I'll even take a few delegates from Romney."
Meanwhile, Mr Paul would not rule out rumors that he might seek to continue his campaign into the 2016 election just for the darned hell of it.
