I think you were probably right in your prediction. Ron Paul still hasn't handed over an endorsement to Romney - the Romney camp really wants (and needs, imo) those Libertarian and Independent votes. The Paul camp strategy is interesting to follow, imo.
Just watched the Republican National Convention highlights; Ron Paul's son, Senator Rand Paul, delivered a speech and only mentioned Romney one time. He contradicted a key point that Romney had emphasized. While Romney made it clear that he does not believe in cutting defense spending, Senator Paul argued that defense cuts should be part of any budget-cutting plan.
