Judging from preliminary and past debates, also from perspective and hype, Ron Paul is seeming to be the ONLY one who will have a shot against Obama's charm and rhetoric.

Paul is the only candidate with enough logic and debate proficiency to give Barry a run for his money...

It seems any other republican the party throws out there just wont be able to compete with Obama on a charm level...

The only drawback right now is not a lot of people have seen the true side of Paul and far too many still have some third party perception of paul being a no party nut case...this will change, the MSNBC interview was epic...

More exposure combined with logical debate HAS to give him the bid, no other republican stands a chance so as much as the republicans may not want to nominate Paul, he, to to the party, has the most bread winning potential giving them the best shot at reclaiming the house.

The whole democrat vs republican debate is funny to me.

Weren't they saying similar things about Obama last time around?

YOU, the American people can make this happen.

I really hope for the rest of us that he is as good as his word on his foreign policies and his economic policies.

As much as I have hated the fact that we (U.K) have become your lap dogs, I know the reasons for this. Besides, I really don't want to start learning Mandarin.

So, come on RP do it for the sake of the Western World.

Yes sir I agree.HE IS GOING TO WIN!!!

And the 2012 Repulican nominee....IS RON PAUL!!!

Come you internet spyders, crawl all over that.

I saw a CNN report on him that was great, totally positive, it's in another thread but too bad no one watches CNN anymore.

its no longer a matter of "if he'll win". Its moved to a more dramatic catagory. More like he has to win. Imagine if he doesn't. From what the people are saying in any thread of any website, specifically yahoo.com, Ron Paul is always ignored.90% of all the posts are all "what about Ron". It's actually kind of amusing that all the people are calling the MSM out on it. All the poll ratings are rigged(goes without saying) but the people that are actually paying attention, are paying attention to Ron Paul and his lack of media support. I'd have to slightly agree with the fact that the media was doing a blackout on him opened a lot of peoples eyes to this very biased system that the majority blindly follows. poor shmucks.

but he will never make the grade of getting the nomination.

Do you think you are saying something brilliant?

I think it's the other way around, you are trying to defame something that you would love to happen

Confidence that he can be elected is barely registerable, proven by the recent ATS poll.

ATS is a haven of Ron Paul support yet the poll proved nobody ranked his electabillity as a strong factor, that is why you are seeing his supporters here express their no confidence in him by the type of comments that you listed which you are complaining about.

Your rantings won't change that, Ron Paul himself has to steer his campaign into a winning strategy. The problem is to date he has shown he has no control over his base.
Whining about the media has been their latest tantrum.

Like it or not the RNC controls the workings of the Republican party and Ron Paul is nothing but a phoney to them. They know he will ditch them to go independant and in the meantime just rob airtime from their supported candidates. He is a third party hemeroid on the tail end of a Party that got a spanking the last time around, what kind of welcoming commity to you think he is ever going to get?

There are probably multitudes of Obama supporters who switch to Republican in their Primaries just to upset the enemy party by voting for Ron Paul, in the general election they will switch back for Obama. I have seen this strategy bragged about and supported and encouraged on ATS almost on a daily basis.
This reduces Ron Paul to nothing more than a tool for the enemy camp in the eyes of the RNC.

Si se Puede
Yes he Can Win

I love what Ron Paul represents and would love to see him win the Presidency. He would head up losing to Obama though. All Obama would have to do is say Ron Paul is a racist, look at what he has been sending out in his news letters about Martin Luther King Jr. and that he is against the civil rights act. He won't matter if he wrote the news letter or not. Do you think most people are going to actually put any research into it? Nope, they are going follow what is told to them.

The new 60 second spot makes Ronnie Paul look like Jesus, Neo, and that lion from Narnia, all rolled into one.

Epic.

You could make a PPV out of a Obama Paul debate...I would pay money to see that live.

I doubt Obama would scream racism. He, against the advice of his party, would see Paul as a valid opponent and try to out wit him.

I'm leaning towards Paul winning.
