not at all. dr paul wins people over at debates no matter how small the face time. primarily because the debates never make him look bad. the majority of people, however, do not watch the debates.
dr. paul's name awareness is still pitiful compared to other candidates, we have much work to do.
mccain looked awful during this debate, specifically his attacks on romney, most were terribly childish. like calling his business experience experience with buying and selling and laying lots of people off of their jobs. that was a stereotype, an ignorant stereotype at that. it just sounded like mccain was rude and uneducated.
im no romney supporter, but i felt that attack was unwarranted. i feel there are a million legitimate complaints against romney, such as his inconsistent record on certain issues, but the main thing this debate highlighted, is mccain can't attack romney on his flip flops because all of his flip flops highlight key issues which are issues that mccain disagrees with the republican base on(abortion, amnesty etc), so he made up these two new issues(albeit fake), troop withdrawal, and that romney is a venture capitalist or something that made a fortune on shorting companies(i don't know that this is the case but it was mccains implication.)
