I would say that this will end up biting them but Santorum came out of no where in Iowa and people are far more easily swayed than I believed
possible. The only good news I suppose is that only 3.4 million people watch primetime news and we can expect 100 million voters this year. That
means the majority can still be swayed by reason.

"They" already cannot ignore him, "he" has become a force, a movement if you will.
Now Ron Paul is more than a candidate in many peoples eyes, he is an idea.
The seeds have been planted, all we have to do is nurture them best we can.
Many will ignore the elephant in the room as he has been in the corner all along, it is the Oak in the center that blocks the TV that will be noticed.

They ignore Ron Paul because he's as different from the other GOP contenders as Obama is. Ron Paul does not 'fit' into the 2012 GOP. (and this is GOOD thing.) His ideas do NOT coincide with what Republicans across this country THINK they're supposed to support. In 2012, the word "Republican" means Anti-Obama, Family Values (read anti-abortion and anti-gay "family values"), and the Dream of Theocracy. Santorum is the closest thing they have to someone who would force those values on the rest of the country and that's what the GOP and the voters seem to want to do. (Santorum raised $1M in 18 hours after Iowa)
Paul represents something ENTIRELY different. And unless he can convince the Republican voter that he is the man, they're going to vote for Santorum (for his agenda) or Romney (for his electability and ability to beat Obama.)
It is my opinion that Paul should QUIT trying to compete with the GOP contenders, who are SO different than he is and run as an Independent. NOW before the primaries. The more he is slated against Santorum and Romney, the more he will lose. Paul is like a fox in the henhouse, running for the position of lead hen... I don't think this is going to work for him.
Of course they ignore him. Some may think his differences make him stand out and that's true, just not in a good way to many brainwashed GOP voters and the media. I think he should stand apart from BOTH parties if he wants to take a new road.

I actually think he should have run as an Independent from the start. That's more who he is. His ideas are independent from the agenda of BOTH main parties. I think he would have had a better chance had he broken away from the 'status quo' that he wants to change.
Maybe it's because I abhor the idea of political parties so much. But I wish he'd get out of the GOP. Many people just can't stomach voting for a Republican.
