| I like Ron Paul, but I think he's too wacky for the mainstream. I think he has potential of being thought of as a Ross Perot. A little wacky, a lot of people like him, but they're afraid to support him because they don't think he has a shot. | ||||

| Ron Paul is more like a statesman than a politician, which would be good for us if he is elected but by nature reduces his chances of being elected.  | ||||

| I'd likely vote for him if he got the nomination... unless the Dems can do better than they're doing now. | ||||

| All though I find all the GOP candidates laughable, I still have respect for Ron Paul...at least he stands by his convictions and doesn't flip-flop like all the other ones on that stage. Also, the format was ridiculous...ten candidates for a 90 minute 'debate'? The only informative format worth watching is one that is either much longer or has much fewer candidates. | ||||
