Be the first to comment. They dont use the word quixotic, they have a drawn cartoon on RP on a donkey with a lance, tilting at a windmill labeled "The Fed".

I didnt hate the article, besides the totally negative predictions of "he can't win".

This is based on favorability ratings. However, in Iowa those are higher. Once he wins and runs ads in the rest of the states he will increase those numbers across the country.

People aren't going to see Paul coming right before he becomes president.

One thing to note is that his support has a ceiling: in no state do more than about a third of Republican voters favour him

Um, that's true for everybody, with the possible exception of Romney in NH (Gingrich *used* to be over that in some states).
 
somebody needs to compile clips of all of the ceiling comments as they have been going up. it appears ron paul is raising the roof.
 
Ha, imagine that. The Economist biggest gripe with RP is his economic views on ending the Fed and labeling us as a bunch of wing nuts. Who would have thought :rolleyes:

didn't NRO use that picture? Or is it a different one with identical symbolism?

My comment:

Always with the "he's unelectable" and "he can't win", but Americans are waking up and translating those statements as "we don't WANT him to be elected" and "we don't WANT him to win".

The cartoon paints Paul as a silly, quixotic figure, but Americans are seeing how the Fed has caused tremendous devaluation of the dollar and, unlike the author who appears to be looking through rose-colored glasses, they are seeing RED.

Paul is the ONLY candidate who not only sees what the problems are but also has the WILL to tackle them with serious solutions. The establishment recognizes this fact and it is running scared. The rest of the field merely wants to engage in musical funds while the country goes down in flames, fleecing the middle class and laughing all the way to the bank.

The really inspiring thing about Dr. Paul is that not only is he serious about making much-needed reforms, but he also shows a tremendous amount of wisdom and understanding in the approaches he proposes for making the changes. In each case, he is showing compassion and awareness of contracts that our government has made with the citizens and would proceed along a path that would allow businesses to feel secure about regulatory stability, those reliant upon Social Security to continue to best see that promise fulfilled, and every change enacted with similar thoughtfulness.

This is the sort of change that inspires HOPE and CONFIDENCE in a future based on LIBERTY, SOUND CURRENCY, and a STRONG national DEFENSE, according the Constitution. This is the sort of change that is GOOD and NEEDED. This is the sort of change that every thinking regular American can truly believe in and support.
