I am convinced that if Ron spoke like he did at last night's debate, he could take on. In terms of the issues themselves, he destroys Gingrich, it's just his speechcraft that needed working on - and it seems he's got that down.
Pros:
-It will show his strength as a candidate, just like when he turning down the Trump invitation.
-If he spoke as well as he did last night, he could get the chance to completely blow Gingrich out of the water, not held back by not being called on to answer or a lack of time to respond. However, this would really have to be a high, high priority for the campaign. Prepping him, making him practice, giving him a speech/debate coach, etc.
-It will allow him to get his points across in a way not possible through 30 second debate responses or TV ads, and with a wider audience than his House Floor speeches.
-If he wins, it will show that a) Gingrich is not the invincible debater that will take down Obama b) That Ron Paul beat Gingrich at his own game c) That Ron Paul IS the best and most electable candidate for the office of presidency.
Cons:
-It gives attention to a candidate who could very well have faded by the time of the actual debate.
-If Ron messes up, it will really hurt him. This is a risky, but possibly rewarding manuever.
Thoughts?
