North Dakota Caucus 2012 Outlook: Ron Paul Looks For First Primary Season Win On Super Tuesday

Unexpected Ally

1? of ?15

As Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum vie for first place, Ron Paul's campaign has focused most of its energy on bashing the latter, providing an unlikely assist to the Romney camp. Sam Stein reports:

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is once again providing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with a major campaign assist, going up with a 30-second advertisement in Michigan that whacks former Sen. Rick Santorum as a phony conservative

Paul didn't back down from that claim in the Mesa, Arizona debate, telling the moderator he called Santorum fake, "Because he's fake." Paul also tried a new tack in his quest to win over GOP audiences to his anti-war stance on Iran, saying, "So I don't believe I'm going to get the conversion on the moral and the constitutional arguments in the near future. But I'll tell you what, I'm going to win this argument for economic reasons."
