The Debate is at 9 PM to 10:30 PM EST on Fox News.
I planned to start a new thread on this, but this thread seems to be a good fit. We are exactly 10 days removed from the four-year anniversary of one of the greatest politicial moments in U.S. History.
This moment began the rise of Ron Paul and the Ron Paul Revolution. Before this moment, Ron Paul was getting 1% nationally in the polls, and virtually nobody knew who he was or could recognize his name. 10 days removed from four years later, Ron Paul is a household name with 80% name recognition. He is polling 10% nationally, and is the leading fundraiser. Of anybody in the GOP field, he does best against the sitting President, according to the latest CNN poll. His son, Rand, is the Junior Senator of Kentucky, and Ron is the first House Representative in the history of the United States to serve at the same time his son is serving in the Senate.
My question to the forum is whether anybody will attempt to challenge Ron Paul. If there is a challenge, who will it come from, and what will the allegation be? My guess is that either Pawlenty or Gary Johnson go after Paul and try to steal some of his thunder. I suspect the allegation will be that a President Paul would not have captured Osama bin Laden or made the United States safer. RP will then talk about his proposed Letters of Marque and Reprisal in 2002, the TSA, the endless wars, trillions of dollars, billions in aid to Pakistan, and so forth. I hope to god that he slightly rehearses some of his soundbites.
It is certain he will use the "foreign aid takes money from poor people in rich countries and gives it to rich people in poor countries" and "constitutional foreign policy".
