Reagan would want an amendment to protect marriage huh? I must have missed where he tried to do that.

Another bullshit debate by our worthless media.

and got involved in wars in the middle east. I wish we could get past him, he was elected almost 30 years ago, as a party if we continue this it will give the democrats more ammo

I will from henceforth call Romney by his new name: The John Kerry of 08.

It's eerie how much I've agreed with your political analysis of the 08 campaign. Every time I read your posts I'm thinking "damn, he beat me to it."

So you will get votes if you are given air time, but you can't get air time until you get votes

they have polls, Ron Paul was doing horrible, and he did horrible

Rudy could flash his national polling numbers, Thompson his SC polling numbers

Ron Paul couldn't get ANY group to prefer him, the hallmark of a doomed campaign

rEVOLTution, right? All that internet work should have turned into more support but it didn't. How many commericals has Ron Paul ran?

Then how do you explain Huckabee's meteoric rise?

The media started backing him.

Then his poll numbers went up.

So far, out of 7 states, he has finished second twice. Many of us Paulites don't understand this either. So your point is taken.

As far as the commercials, Paul is utilizing the radio technique that got Reagan elected. He has recently stepped up his advertising campaign, especially in the states that aren't being visited by other candidates.

But again, it's all moot till Tuesday...

Haven't seen any other candidates commercials from the Right up here in Northern California, but there sure have been a ton of Obama commercials.

The media didn't back the huckster. The evangelicals did. The media LOVES to talk about those crazy evangelical christians like they run the country.

[Thorgrim]

Huckabee actually took a huge jump to second place...on track to get first, before the media looked at him more than they did Brownback

Granted the evangelical's were part of the equation. But interestingly enough, one of their fearless leaders was not. Robertson came out and was backing Giuliani. Not sure who dispensationalist Hagee was backing.

But I view Huckabee as the chicken or the egg.....which came out first for him, the Evangelicals backing him or the media? Despite what you say, the media did in fact back him.

As far as the Evangelicals go....Hunter was just as good an Evangelical as Huckabee if you looked at his website, and his name was the only one I heard mentioned when I attended the Coral Ridge, Reclaiming America for Christ conference last year.

Christians at that time were confused as to whom to vote for. Heck, Ann Coulter dropped the f bomb (faggot) during her speech there three times, the day after she dropped it about Edwards, which had the audience shaking their heads, lol....so they didn't make a good decision by inviting her as a speaker, as outspoken as she is and they weren't too sure on which candidate represented their views the best. Robertson came out for Giuliani and the Evangelicals still didn't represent support for anyone.

So this leads me to believe he was annointed by the media first.

And it is the media, not the Evangelicals, that is not supporting him now. They're pulling a Ron Paul on him IMO.

And I agree with your "crazy" characterization of many Christians today.

I base it on this Thorgrim...

YouTube - Research Media Bias against Ron Paul on Google Labs

I'd, at a minimum, call it close as to which came first as I pointed out in my last post.
