Why should Huckabee followers, Romney followers and Thompson followers be voting for Ron Paul?

Frankly , it's not about who will win the Republican Nomination, but making a statement. IF the COnservatives don't bond together and tell McCain to remember us, he would move to the left to pick up votes. If we make it difficult for him, he would realize, we might just boycott the election and cost him the Presidency. We need to make a statement, because we don't want another Bush. We don't want McCain to think he has a mandate from the people. We need to remind him that He is being elected because the selection is slim this year. I am rethinking what I am doing in the Presidential election. Since it is forecast that California is going to The Dems no matter what, and I really don't care for McCain, I might put in yet another protest vote, and vote for neither partyies.
