Ron Paul has no chance.
Campaign is exploding (for the worse as we speak)
Never had more than 7-8% support, and much of his support is unable to vote for him in closed primaries.
Guy is toast.
Are you Ron Paul supporters happy that he is using campaign money to buy straw polls that mean absolutely nothing? He raises a lot of money and wastes it. Did the same thing in the 2008 elections.
Guy is a -in for congressional races, but is in way over his head when it comes to running a Presidential campaign.
Do you have any proof to back up your opinion?

Says the guy who voted for Obama.
I think the fact that he's lost every presidential campaign he's ever been involved in is proof enough. If he could mount a successful presidential campaign, he would be president.
The problem with Ron Paul isn't that he isn't getting enough media attention (god knows he gets a lot of free advertising on ATS alone) it's that people know crazy, and Ron Paul for however sense he actually makes is bat (snip) insane and doesn't really stand a chance in a presidential campaign.
Let's also look at the fact that he's old. He's 76 for crying out loud, shouldn't he be retired by now?
The guy has been in congress for 30+ years, that alone turns me off to him, you can't say he's not a career politician with 30+ years in government.
And the last thing that truly irks me about Ron Paul, is the people that he attracts. You can tell a lot about a person by the company that they keep, and Ron Paul attracts the truly insane and delusional. These people that follow Ron Paul like he's some sort of god or messiah truly are a cult.

That is one thing that has always bothered me...with all that time in govt, he has not been able to implement one of his 'brilliant' ideas. How can he expect to do it if elected president?
I get exhausted by hearing the same arguments against him over... and over... and over again.
"Ron Paul is TOO old!"
"Ron Paul is TOO crazy!"
"Ron Paul buys his votes!"
"Ron Paul wears a tinfoil hat!"
The arguments are lame. How about researching how many Presidents were elected on their 3rd try? Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
As far as the age argument, how come no other candidates felt up to accepting his recent challenge? 20 mile bike ride in the 107 degree heat. Not one person accepted.
He's crazy? Why? Cuz he actually defends and supports the Constitution? Cuz he doesn't want to send young men and women to fight wars for the bankers? I think the crazy people are those who support more war mongering candidates.
