I think you should leave Obama in the picture. It shows that Ron Paul makes more than all of the others combined. Ron Paul is a candidate that can appeal to both Repblicans and Democrats. And we should leave it that way. Plus, Obama is the sitting CIC, so it shows that servicemen want him more than Obama or any other Republican.
Also, say "All Other GOP Candidates"
Great idea, and good job with the ad too!
Thank you to our first donor of $50!

K. I heard back - this is what he wrote:
"I agree Obama shouldn't be on the graph. It obscures the point you are trying to make, paricularly in a GOP primary. Make the difference between Ron and the others as stark as possible. Removing Obama helps accomplish that. Compare Ron to others they have a chance to vote for; Obama is not in that category."
That seems to agree with a plurality of opinion on here, although I can certainly put up a poll with both options once dusman finishes off the obama-less version. Also if this little back and forth affects the donations of anyone who has donated or is considering donating, please let me know so we can get it resolved. We're setting a great pace with donations so far, hopefully we'll get to $3517 soon!
To be frank, what's holding me back from donating, and likely many others, is that we've yet to see any new versions other than the one posted in the OP, which has been around for quite awhile. We need to get the ball moving much faster on this. Until people start seeing some alternate versions and real action, they're gonna be hesitant to donate.
