I'm almost thinking that was the reason that one gent funded Newt to keep him in the race - to knock Ron Paul down to the status of an also-ran - that Paul's strong showing early on made the R establishment nervous, before Newt's rejuvenation it was starting to boil down to a Romney/Paul contest for the nomination, and they didn't want Paul as a runner-up at the convention with his "unconventional" ideas.
