I thought that Paul was skipping the Florida contest because it was winner-take-all. I did read that the GOP is making their primary process a bit more like the Democratic process which can lead to a more drawn-out primary. I don't know if that keeps things lively or just makes Mitt seem more unstoppable. But it does mean that Paul is almost certainly playing the long game and trying to pick up enough delegates all over the country to give some leverage at the convention (for whatever that's worth).
