Ron Paul soldiers on despite lack of first place wins

All candidates remaining in the 2012 Republican presidential race are touting their first place finish in at least one state as a testament to their voter support.

But, Texas Rep. Ron Paul has yet to win that distinction, despite heavy investment in caucus states.

Paul has been concentrating on caucus states, telling the public and the media that his grassroots efforts are more fruitful in these types of contests. But Paul's opportunities to prove that claim are diminishing with each passing caucus. He placed third in Nevada's caucuses on Feb. 4, a distant second in Minnesota's caucuses and fourth in Colorado's caucuses on Feb. 7. His best effort: a narrow second-place finish in Maine Saturday where Mitt Romney has been declared the winner despite one potentially Paul-heavy county vote remaining this coming Saturday.

"Criticizing Ron Paul for not passing bills in Congress is like criticizing a nun in a whore house for not turning tricks. He was there to stop the "whoring," not become one!" ~ Blake Buffington
