Its all planned to be Mitt and Palin or Palin and Perry.

We all know it its what the corporations want and what stupid americans will vote for based on religion and the typical republican solution that hasnt worked in sometime now.
Corporations will sell it from NBC to FOX NEWS and if not that still get OBAMA and GE can find new ways not to really pay any taxes and take bailout money from the tax payers.

Paul doesn't do limited timed debates well. He is about explaining the substance of his positions and not in dishing out soundbites.

I'll admit I used to think he was a loon because of his poor performances in debates in previous campaigns. Then I took the time to study his positions and study the foundations of his economic philosophy (Ludwig von Mises Institute ).

I've come to the conclusion that Paul is the sane voice of reason in a sea of insanity. I'm just sorry I did not reach this conclusion in 2004 or 2008. Better late than never.....I hope.

The talking heads are pushing Romney and Perry big time, but it doesn't make sense to me that Bachmann and Cain would be ahead of Ron Paul. That can't be right. I also find it doubtful that Newt would be ahead of Paul.
Every debate, Ron Paul support surges. Looking forward to tomorrow night.
I think Palin is dead - her followers are getting tired of being teased. She'd get creamed in these debates where they have to think on their feet. If she thinks she can drop in at the last minute, she's in for a surprise. I'm already sick of her.

you know how I feel about Paul, but I have to agree with you: I can't imagine Cain particularly being ahead of him. I happen to like Cain, (not as a candidate) but I don't think he would poll ahead of Paul. I guess only time will tell.

Indeed Laura.....Paul can certainly never win a general election and if it ever came down to him and another in the primary he would be finished, too bad because I agree with so much of his positions....unfortunately he has one foot in the nut house with his foriegn policy and national defense nonsense.

He is dead on about our foreign policies, and our National Offense.
The war machine and nation building off the backs of the US citizens, must be stopped.
