Ron Paul spoke to supporters Tuesday night in Henderson Nevada, on the results of the Florida primary in which he got fourth place.

“Just a little while ago I called Governor Romney, and congratulated him,” Paul said, which led to booing form audience. He quieted them down: “No, no, we had a friendly conversation. I honestly congratulated him.

“He ran a good campaign. But I also said, I would see him soon in the caucus states!” The audience applauded and cheered. Paul then spoke of his “fantastic” reception he has received in Maine, Colorado, Nevada and elsewhere. He spoke of his strategy to build up delegates in caucus states, on the grounds that delegates are what truly matters.

“And we will spend our time in the caucus states — because if you have an irate, tireless minority, you do very well in a caucus state.”

“But there’s something else that the caucus state lends itself to: Because if you have an energized group of people that are working in a campaign — and actually believe in something — it’s better to work in the caucus states.”
