Quote from monty21:
Ron Paul would be the best option for this country. Unfortunately, he won't get past New Hampshire in the Primaries.
Paul is raising so much money that he can stick it out through pretty much through the entire primary season. This is a real nightmare for the establishment republicans. Paul raised as much as John McCain last quarter, and he isn't pissing it away on polls and consultants to tell him what his core beliefs are. The media can ignore him now, but if there are three or four candidates left, then it becomes more difficult, particularly if he is getting votes. Some people may begin to think he is our new Barry Goldwater, not a winning candidate perhaps but one who sparks a revolution.
