It's great to see Ron Paul get some coverage that he so rightly deserves. I think Blitzers an idiot if he tries to equate isolationism with a non-interventionistic Foreign policy. I hope Paul wins the election.
Very funny!!

Also watch Tim Russert and Matt Lauer:

McCain is finished, falling like a stone.

Ron Paul is surging. More to come. Wait for the 4th quarter numbers.

In 1992 Pat Buccanan made a lot of noise early. Ron Paul has close to the same views as Pat Buccanan.

Paul doesn't understand the enemy and he doesn't understand what the US has to do to win either.

It is also amazing that many are so anti war that they are willing to support a candidate who is against government funding for alternative energy programs and forcing Americans to use less oil and less imported oil.

But I hope Ron Paul does well enough to run as a third party candidate.

Do you think the enemies of the US round the world want the US to import more oil or less oil? Do they want the price of oil higher or lower?

Paul cause of his commitment to principles and not ends would do nothing to discourage US citizens from using less oil. Anyone want to explain why that is in the US strategic interest.

He understands very well who the enemy is: the cabal of internationalist bankers who seek to destroy the US's power with ruinous wars and reckless financial policy in order that it may eventually be brought into the fold of the one world government.

He also knows what to do to avoid that: stay strong, stay independent.

These "baathists", "Khomeni-thingies" and "Al-Queada-ma-jigs" you constantly talk about pose no SIGNIFICANT threat to the US.

The worst thing the US could do to them is ignore them and concentrate on building a country that will be strong and safe for many years to come, not allow itself to be led by the nose into financial ruin.

Ron Paul is the closest thing to common sense personified in a presidential candidate.

As an aside, Canada's current Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, was called a right wing nut job by many people in Canada, who thought his ideas were far too Conservative (re: less gov't spending) for the liberal Canadian public. But, when the Liberal party lost all of the public's trust through scandal after scandal, Harper's party won, and he is now extremelly popular in the polls with Canadians. His common sense approach reminds me alot of Paul.

I hope Paul shows strongly in New Hampshire and Iowa. Wouldn't that make for an interesting race?

That Cafferty thing is just a fluff piece. Disappointing that CNN would allow that.

I'm sure Blitzer interviews all the candidates. What candidate in his/her right mind wouldn't jump at the chance for free publicity on national TV?

Paul has stuck at 2% in the polls for 3 months.

I think what people are forgetting is that polls can't measure a candidate's projected level of success in the future where the voters are limited by party membership. The caucuses and primary are not open to the general public.

You guys -- most of whom are not even registered, American voters -- can hype Ron Paul on the internet all you like.

He will not even survive the first primaries.

No need to expend energy "combating" these posters on this already-nearly-moot-issue, Joo.
