I would be very surprised if Ron Paul doesn't win, and I would be very surprised if the media took him seriously after that.
I love his monetary and fiscal policies. Paul is the only one that even offers a glimmer of hope for saving our country from it's own psychosis of living waaaay beyond our means.
Look at the latest pissing match between Democrats and Republicans: Who can offer the biggest payroll tax cut to the middle class? Ha! The 'payroll' taxes support FICA, FUTA, Medicare, etc., etc. They are already on the verge of insolvency, but who cares??! Let's vote for the sap who can cut taxes
and spend even more! It's lunacy. This will only speed up our bankruptcy.
The chinks in Paul's armor are many and it will be easy to inflict a mortal wound to his Presidential bid it the media wishes to do so. They do. Too bad the media isn't willing to look past Paul's flaws like they did on Bill Clinton's long time sexual affair with Jennifer Flowers. She actually had tape recordings of Clinton coaching her on how to hide their sexual trysts. The media didn't care, but somehow Herman Cain's were enough to end his bid. Ditto on Obama's eligibility issues, yet McCain had to get permission from Congress to run.

Well, I need to logoff for now... gotta go out on Christmas Eve and earn the money I need to save my family from the economic disaster the American public insists on voting for.
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.
