Explain the advantage to announcing this turn of strategy rather than just executing it without calling attention to it.
Well, lets look at the circumstances. The GOP is starting to throw fits over how Ron Paul supporters are taking over their party, and some are admitting he has a chance now to shake things up at the convention.
The delegate strategy is meant to be a hidden in plain site type of strategy.
It is now on their radar, and some have been throwing fits over it. Element of surprise is compromised.
Ron Paul says he won't be campaigning in any more states for popular vote, whats the worst that could happen?
Media will spin it if he were dropping out? Well, I guess.. but just because the media misreports something doesn't make it official. They can't deny him access to the convention citing "but the tv told us you quit!".
So he's still officially in the race, still campaigning for delegates, and the news doesn't report on any of it.
Convention comes, Romney is told he only has this manys delegates but he needs this manys. Brokered convention. Media is shocked,
shocked, at this. Ron Paul gets nomination.
Romney and Obama are seen a week later holding hands on television in a public service announcement endorsing directdemocracynow.org and the irony flies over every liberals head like a predator drone serving democide.
Then either Obama wins and we see to it that we recognize Presidential candidate "none of the above" was the real winner of the election, or Ron Paul wins and gives people a better idea of what real freedom is.
After that, we hopefully decide to take the next logical step or we get complacent, in that event, we prove again that the constitution is more of a pinata than a paper that protects our rights. Filling up with candy for the tyrants until they decide its full enough to start beating on again.
