Another great article from "Reason" giving Paul his due. It also talks about voters leaving the major parties since 2008 and compares Paul's campaign with McCain's.
Guess it doesn't really matter what the WSJ thinks of Paul....

I could have sworn I included the link but I guess not. Here it is:

Glenn Beck FINALLY comes around and tells listeners to support Ron Paul.


Glenn Beck tells AMERICA WE MUST support Ron Paul - YouTube

What took him so long?

He STILL stupidly doesn't understand his foreign policy.

The caller is a typical stubborn anti-Paul American who wants everyone to put all their eggs in the warmongering Iran basket and forfeit FREEDOM to do it.

Never thought I'd like something from Glenn... totally put that chick in her place though.

I found another video on there of a compilation of news clips about the Iowa caucus. It showed clips from four years ago all saying how important Iowa was. Then it shows news clips after Ron Paul started to lead, with them all saying Iowa is irrelevant. Someone even said Iowa doesn't matter if Ron Paul wins.

Paul handled three attacks by the MSM interviewers on the Sunday shows pretty well I thought.


Ron Paul Interview On Fox News Sunday 01/01/12 - YouTube



Ron Paul Interview On CNN's State Of The Union 01/01/12 - YouTube


Ron Paul ABC This Week Interview 01/01/12 - YouTube

There were over 150 comments at DailyPaul.com of reactions to these interviews and overall everyone thought he handled the attacks well. A few thought the nose wiping was distracting which I'd have to agree about.

Everyone thinks he'll win IOWA and most thought the spin was the collectivists owned last ditch effort to sway the public away from Paul. They thought the whole Santorum surge was a farce.
