The Politico interviews interviews Ron Paul about his presidential campaign and big issues ranging from taxes to stem cell research to the Iraq war. Here's what Paul had to say about campaign strategy...
I felt good about every trip I have taken. We always pick up support and enthusiasm, … and the reception has been good. We don't have $100 million in the bank; we are not supported by wealthy special interests, so we are not polling. ... We actually wanted to limit the campaign to four or five early states, but the pressure is to have everybody together, so small candidates like myself are cut off before we get any traction whatsoever.
Republicans sometimes get intimidated that they have to follow the party instead of the platform and our promises in the Constitution. My job … is to make conservatives feel comfortable on any number of issues for really following through on what they believe in.
Ron Paul isn't going to be president. But he's going to liven things up on the campaign trail for awhile.
