This was his response on his MSNBC interview with the "young turk" guy. Considering Ron's history with "TYT", I thought the interview went incredibly smooth. I'm sure a video will pop up shortly.

This time around when Ron speaks in the televised debates, he literally needs to start saying "As President.." As ridiculous and useless as that sounds, people got acustomed to Obama as President, at every rally and every debate he said it. This time people will know hes serious about winning, not just spreading the message.

If that is in fact the case, why do we even try?

If that's the case, Ron Paul shouldn't solicit money for an official campaign under the guise of being a serious presidential candidate. He should come out and openly tell supporters "I'm not trying to win, at all" so people know what their money, time and labor would be going towards.
I want Ron Paul to run for President for real. But if Paul is not going to at least try to win, he should step aside for someone who will (Gary Johnson?). No more "education campaigns" for me.

WRONG!
Tell me why he recently came out with the DOMA rhetoric last week? Why is he even bothering to go to Iowa? Why does he have people in Iowa working for him?
Let's not be asinine.
Success does not absolutely equate to electoral victory. But electoral victory is indeed possible, but only if we push him across the finish line. He can't do it on his own, we have to help him.

I think the people of this country are getting fed up with the endless wars, the TSA nude scanners, and the other failures of our government. I expect A LOT more people will vote for Ron Paul this time around, and he does have a good chance of becoming the next president.

I think A Ron Paul win would be a death sentence for him, and I think he knows it. That being said, I think he will run to win, and put his life on the line for what he has always stood for.

Last time he ran he ran to educate. Look, i hope that Ron runs and runs a serious campaign and is our next President but with that said I'm not sure that is what Ron wants tod do.

I TOTALLY agree.
"As President"...
"As President"...
"As President"...
Also, I think he needs to slow down when he is talking and try to convey fewer points per response. People take you more seriously if you sound serious.
Overall, of course, he does great. Just my 2 cents
I think Ron Paul is seriously running to do as best he can (even win if possible) but the most important thing for him is to spread the message whether he wins or not.
From his comments at CPAC 2011 it feels like that's the case:
"But let me close with comments from Sam Adams, he says 'Don’t worry about it if we’re not a majority, all we need is a minority keen on spreading the brushfires of liberty in the minds of man.'"
and:
"So we should not have long faces, we do not know exactly what tomorrow will bring, but I do know that the effort is worthwhile and I do know that you can have a lot of fun defending liberty, and believe me, if you understand liberty and realize it’s the only humanitarian system that existed ever on mankind, I’ll tell you what, if you learn about it study and know free market economics and fight for this, I can guarantee you, you will sleep better at night, you will enjoy your life and you will feel like you’re doing something worthwhile."
Matt Collins has it right.. "He can't do it on his own, we have to help him. "

Nonsense. It's a winner-take-all system. Losers get zilch. What did Al Gore end up with despite getting more popular votes than Bush in 2000? Absolutely nothing.

Think Rand Paul... He is the "success" of the "failed" presidential run.

That was good as an intermediate step before winning the Presidency. If he runs again, doesn't win, and statism destroys the country, then I don't think you can consider his runs successes.
