I have these 2 concerns:
1. There is still a huge misunderstanding by a whole lot of people about Paul's foreign policy being dangerous. They need the dots connected and badly. Paul has been given the opportunity to say which foreign policy experts agree with him, but he didn't mention a one. It was unfortunate, since a number agree with him.
2. Older Americans need to be reassured that Paul will not end Social Security and Medicare. There have been too many claims by the other candidates that he will and Paul doesn't consistently stress this point when he mentions cutting 1 trillion dollars the first year.
The next 2 are not really concerns for NH, but they will be for SC.
3. Many people misunderstand what a President Paul would do about drugs. They have formed pictures in their heads that little Billy and Susie will be able to buy heroin at the corner store. President Paul would decriminalize drugs at the federal level, ending the federal war on drugs and meddling by the federal government into the drug laws of each state. All 50 states have drug laws right now and they would still have them after Paul got the federal government out of the drug business.
4. Many people misunderstand what President Paul would do about abortion. He would not just leave it up to the 50 states to decide for themselves. What he wants to do is to have a federal law that defines life beginning at conception. What this would do is make it murder if someone took that life. Where the states come in, is that it would be up to them to prosecute and punish said murder, as they do most every other murder case under the sun.

If these things would be clarified, I think Paul would get far more Republican support and that includes with the "Social Conservatives".
