Ron Paul Watch: It Is About Votes
Republican presidential hopeful, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, signs an autograph for Scott Gilbert, of Des Moines, Iowa, during the Iowa Straw Poll, in Ames, Iowa on August 11, 2007
Sorry Patrick but Stuart Rothenberg has a more accurate portrayal of the Ron Paul campaign.
How can we explain Ron Paul? This is a big country with hundreds of millions of people, some of whom are attracted to quirky, anti-establishment candidates. And some of those people are angry, looking for an outspoken leader and searching for an easy answer to the nation’s problems.
But there simply are not all that many of them.
The Internet undoubtedly has made it easier for Paul supporters to connect with the campaign and with each other, and it’s become a terrific way to raise cash for a candidate with emotional followers. But Web chatter, declarations of undying support on Facebook and even surprising fundraising totals don’t make a serious contender out of a candidate from the political fringe.
It IS about VOTES.
Update:
And, THIS is just SLEAZY.

Flap,
Your sleazy update leaves out that this was a media setup. The Reno Gazette Journal has
the full story that AP, Fox and others edit out.

The even shorter video version totally leaves out the media’s role in this flap.
Thanks,

But, Flap cannot decide which is MORE SLEAZY, this or the Don Black association.
You decide.
Ron Paul is talking about the Bunny Ranch now on Fox News.
