Ron Paul's 2nd place finish completely discounted by Santorum.

[BenjFranklin]

From an article on CNN.

“If you look at the top four, three of them can win the caucus. And I really feel that Ron Paul can’t win this caucus and can’t win this nomination and the other three candidates have a potential to do so. The top three tickets get punched out of Iowa, so I feel really good about that.”

This guy is in fantasyland. Whatever helps you sleep at night Rick!

I couldn't stand him as a Senator from PA and if possible I can't stand him even more now. What a tool.

the campaign needs to ignore these clowns, especially in debates

Who cares what he thinks?

Who cares what he thinks?

I want to know what all the candidates are thinking. They are the competition. I think based on Mr. Frothy's quote from this article, we can expect him to start aggresively attacking Dr. Paul. He will fail, we will win.

 

[Badger Paul]

It's becoming personal with him. He would not have said this about anyone else.

 

[Sentinelrv]

He's just pissed off Ron made him look like a fool at the debate and discounted his campaign.

I'm from the Mid-Atlantic. The more you give someone attention, the more they become credible. People from the Mid-Atlantic hate being ignored. NY, Philly, Atlantic City, Pittsburgh... all the attention has to be on us. Only California and Texas might be able to compete with that.

Santorum strategy is to get attention via attacks of Ron Paul.

That's exactly what he's doing.

I'm tempted to go to debates with a "Google Santorum" shirt.

Every time Santorum talks about Ron Paul, the media talks about Ron Paul. Santorum is wrapping himself in the flag and tugging at American emotions but Ron Paul will respond with logic and well thought out answers every time. Let him continue is rants, it just gives Ron Paul all the more opportunity to explain his stances to America!

Real close to what I'm thinking. Let Santorum attack Dr. Paul all he wants. It's going to backfire on him, as he's just bringing more attention to the Paul campaign and RP's common-sense positions.

I concur, this is his only option to bring attention to himself at this point.

Feeding the troll here.....

And all that attention translates into "I loved the 8 years of George W. Bush, let's have some more!". Sure that will appeal to some but he's painted into that corner.

 

[ThomJohn]

I've just posted in the Campaign Suggestion section that Ron Paul should, in a HD Youtube video ad type way, "reassign" the Giuliani reading list to Santorum. We could make such a thing viral could we not?

Excuse me?

It is better for us that Santorum stay in the race. Santorum will pull votes from Romney and Perry and Bachman. He won't pull many from Dr Paul.
