Oh boo-freaking-hoo, it's ONE day. Hopefully the doctor will be pumped up Friday morning and ready to kick some ass on the campaign trail and in this weekend's debates.

 

[PaleoPaul]

This doesn't look good.

 

[Omnica]

I am tired of the constant whining by the keyboard commandos.

If you dont have anything productive or constructively critical, keep the negativity to yourself!!

 

[Omnica]

I am more talking about the media's so called journalists and bloggers, but it applies here too.

Use some of the negativity energy for good.

 

[lloydian]

I am certain that ron paul is an introvert. if anybody knows anything about introverts they would
know that some downtime and alone time to recharge is absolutely essential!

I just hope Dr. Paul gets some good rest and takes some Vitamin D3 and drinks lots of white tea with Manuka honey. This flu kept me down for 3 days.

 

[Cyberbrain]

Keep this man pumped with vitamin C.

 

[Joe3113]

They made him sick at the critical time. Anybody who seriously doubts that is kidding themselves.

so true! always works for me as long as I megadose w/10,000 to 20,000 mgs.. sounds crazy but works...

Oh brother. Not to sound too opinionated, but it seems like everyone is finding problems everywhere currently. There's been complaining about the super brochures, the campaign schedule, the strategy towards other candidates (who to ignore, who to attack, etc.).

Judging by the most recent polls in NH, it is looking very positive in my opinion. Anyone thinking Romney is easy to beat in NH is not living based on reality. Romney basically has the state of NH locked-up, and has so for over a year. I have spent considerable time in neighboring Massachusetts, and listen to the talk radio and local news, all of which goes into southern New Hampshire via the Boston media market, and let me tell you the facts. Romney is going to get at least 30% in NH - no matter what. That is the reality. The people in NH are familiar with Romney's record, and while 60% have rejected him, he has a solid 30% support, and an additional 10% of soft support. Anyone thinking that the path to victory in NH is to go after Romney's record does not understand the dynamics in NH. There is roughly 30% that will definitely support Romney, regardless and then another 10% that most likely will too, and even if they don't, this groups' second choice is not Dr. Paul - these people are neocons.

As much as winning first place is and should be the goal in every state, the reality is that a close, solid second place is just as good under the circumstances regarding NH. Even the media pundits have stated that anyone who manages to pull within 10 pts of Romney in NH has essentially won and defeated Romney.

Nope two days, Wednesday and Thursday....in essentially a 6 day race of a New Hampshire campaign....Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday then primary day....he is missing two days, plus two of the other days are going to be occupied by the debate.

 

[jersdream]

I hope he is okay, but at the very least the campaign can say something to its supporters, amazing that they don't.

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

If you listen to the pitch of his voice in resent interviews you'll notice that it is lower than normal. This man barely stopped running for president when he gets the flu. I was out for 2 weeks in a daze.

Yet, people think his age is an issue. .....seriously

 

[jcarcinogen]

This is a good idea. The 'debates' this weekend are going to be filled with gotcha's and attacks... it's best he gets rest since he was a tad sick.

They made him sick at the critical time. Anybody who seriously doubts that is kidding themselves.

Didn't Fox News have several interviews with Ron Paul outdoors the week of the Dec. 15 debate in Iowa?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

He got sick over New Years and took one day off, but he wasn't fully over it. Whatever. It isn't as if the media is ever happy with him.

I wouldn't put it past those sleazy opposition supporters infected with influenza/cold, going to Ron Paul events just to shake hands with him to transfer the virus to get him sick.

C'MON MAN!! are you guys being serious?

 

[scrosnoe]

Every one of us should be more focused on what we should be doing than trying to micromanage what Ron should be doing -- he will be where he needs to be when he needs to be there.

Now, what are you doing in your precinct/county to gather votes for the good doctor?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

C'MON MAN!! are you guys being serious?

100%... politics is a very sleazy business, quite ruthless in fact.
