Ron Paul: It’s All About the Delegates

MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ron Paul‘s campaign had hoped to pull out a Minnesota caucus victory Tuesday night, but a second place finish did little to dampen the spirits of the Texas Republican.

Speaking to Minnesota supporters following the night’s caucus votes, Mr. Paul left little doubt about his plans to move forward in the race for the GOP nomination.

“We did very well tonight and have a very, very strong second place and it’s going to continue,” Mr. Paul said. He added,”The straw vote is one thing, but then there’s one other thing called delegates … and that is where we excel, we know what to do about getting delegates.”

With most of the votes counted in Minnesota, Rick Santorum won the caucuses with 45% of the vote followed by Mr. Paul with 27%, Mitt Romney, 17% and Newt Gingrich, 11%.
