Wouldn't you think that statement would have the left screeching? Instead they are still attacking Palin or Cain, and are ho hum about RP. Strange. Must be the drug stance.

Uh, I hate to break it to you, but anyone who thinks Huntsman stands a better chance of winning the GOP nomination than Romney is deluded. Straw polls are worth about as much as their namesake.

Republicans hate Paul, because he is getting popular, and if he wins, he would expose them for the fakes they are. He's got my vote.

Ron Paul scares Fox News and the GOP/neocon establishment.
If he scares one party, he scares them both since both parties drive the same general policy.

The Progressive are fine with anyone willing to keep the machine running.

They like it going full steam, but running at idle still makes progress. That is why you hear Romney's name come up and Paul, the real threat to the Progressive movement, gets minimized.

Time to dismantle the Progressive machine and melt down the parts, dumping them in the recycled bin.

How does that square with the notion that young people tend to more liberal?
I'm sure the left has issue with paul, but not as much as those in the right and in his own party.
Its more likely what Finn_Jabber said is true.

Agreed, all though he already has my vote.

He had my vote in 2008, but he was not on the ballot in FL, so I had to vote for Baldwin instead.
