I hope Paul can generate a bit more than lip service. If his campaign pushes the pendulum back towards liberty even a quarter inch that's better than if he hadn't run at all.

we've got a tough fight ahead of us, to be sure... definately need to pick up some ground in the next few primaries in order to keep this thing alive. Good point on his ideas spreading, Toad. That would be a great consilation prize, getting the GOP to remember the constitution. Cool to hear about your realtors lunch too, FX1. Spread the word!

here's a clip where Ron Paul's being interviewed back in '88, during his run on the Libertarian ticket. The more things change, the more SOME stay the same...

A small sign of hope and salute to the NH GOP for taking a principled stand. They dropped out as a partner in the Fox forum because of the exclusion of Paul and Hunter.

rumor is the campaign has purchased an hour block of TV time during (or sometime around, not quite sure...) the debate.

Looks like he got the Repubs attention. Tonites debate featured most of his opponents wrapping themselves in the Constitution at the beginning.

I don't think he came off well in this one either though. He needs to slow down, speak in complete sentences and drive his point home.

He's got the right ideas but sadly I don't think he's the right guy to get them noticed and accepted.

I really like Ron, but he is not a good speaker. But I trust him more then any of the others.

bsdaddict · « **Reply #456 on:** January 07, 2008, 09:36:07 PM »

true, he's not the strongest public speaker. Eloquent writer, not the best speaker...

That said... here's an interesting article, which includes a link to Ron Paul's appearance at the 2008 Liberty Forum, the morning before the Faux debate. He also held a Town Hall later yesterday afternoon, just before the debate. Part 1 Part 2

Fox excluding Paul from the debate has provided him with priceless publicity and exposure

A chance for the other networks to stick it to Fox and bring Paul and his views along for the ride.

The Leno interview is solid. The economic and fiscal discussions in front of that audience are really cool.

I am not surprised one bit. Was going to post about this earlier but the site was being real laggy.

That's the pimple-faced kid who was on Tucker Carlson? I read he's about to learn first-hand about the legal consequences of slander by Thomas DiLorenzo.
