Barring some significant changes in his demeanor, I won't. He's always pandered too much for my taste. I understand that many of you are acquiescing to the idea that 'playing the game' is the only way to win. But that's nothing more, or less, than a concession to defeat. It's admitting that...

I won't be donating to any more Paul money bombs until Ron clarifies his position on Rand's sellout.

No kidding. Can we stage a 'money-bomb refund' drive - even if symbolic? We could present him with the bill.

Are you saying you still watch television?? On purpose??

43, voted for Paul the first time around (twenty years ago)

You people are nitwits. This is a longterm campaign. He's building momentum at every step, despite the MSM trying to keep him under wraps. Third will get even more attention and get even more people to take him seriously. I've never been one of those people who overestimates what we're doing...

The MSM has already decided it. They've run their 'pre-entry polls'.</sarcasm>

I remain convinced that democracy is a generally a very just political system - in that the voters usually get exactly the government they deserve.

It's as though the media is entirely excited about pushing candidates for completely bullshit reasons. Makes sense, they've got a near monopoly on bullshit. I'm now listening to the afterblab and it's sounds like some shitty reality show. I can't say it enough times, if voters don't see through...

What the hell was that? It had a really bizarre feel to it. TV is such a freak show.

No flame, but I think you're misunderstanding a key element of who Ron Paul is and what he stands for. I'm sure you've heard him saying how people have to be ready for the message. Part of being 'ready' is being able to see through the retarded demagoguery. If the voters can't see through it...

This post seems to suggest the possibility of malice. Is there any evidence to support that? I certainly wouldn't be surprised by such tactics, but far more likely would be just things not working out the way they were supposed to. We're not exactly a seasoned professional campaign organization...

The thing is, they're ALL pretty close to the middle. The party is in the midst of an identity crisis - anything could happen. The other candidates all have serious challenges to maintain their momentum. Ron Paul has the money, the momentum and, most importantly, a following of voters who aren't...

Heh... Let's maybe use our inner grown-ups to look at things a little more rationally, eh? Campaigns are a long series of battles and no one wins them all. Ron Paul continues to gain, and once people are converted, they stay converted. You're all getting impatient for the insta-win. But those...

That's what I don't get. I guess maybe it's because many of us have never been through something like this before, but these are long term efforts. All campaigns have ups and downs. And get this: This isn't a 'down'. You're all focused on how he did compared to what the pre-caucus polls...
