If Paul were the nominee, 90 percent of the Republican establishment leadership, including the Big 4 favored by the media, would all en masse endorse HRC.

Spam in the case of the Paulistinian disease is placing fawning threads of the anti-war movements new GOD, Prawn Paul.
You fit that bill to the max. Do you get spam credits from his campaign for waisting bandwidth over here with this crap?

But the real objective is for him to get 10-15% of the popular vote, thereby letting Clinton Inc. skate into the White House with ~43%.1) RP is a candidate who's polled 1-3% this campaign. He continues (among the GOP and especially conservatives) to be an 'also ran'. His support among hard core GOP conservatives is NOT going to rise.
2) Most of his recent popularity has been through Democratic fringe elements seeing his message about leaving Iraq as a way to get a wedge into the GOP nomination process. And Ron Paul has done little or nothing to discourage this interest.
3) Because of this, Should Ron Paul become a 3rd party candidate (he says no), he will be more of a draw from the Democrat candidate than from the Republican; that is unless the GOP is foolish enough to nominate a Rudy Giuliani.
As for his 'objective' above, I have my doubts. I'm more pragmatic. He likes the limelight and attention, and sees it as a way to build a relatively decent amount of funds (relative to his past history). But that's just me.

I presume your point is that most Republicans are actually Democrats. Actually, the problem is that Ron Paul is not a Republican, he simply runs as one. He's out of touch with the party who's nomination he desires, that he's not accepted shouldn't surprise anyone.

*****I live in the ‘Heartland’ - the Midwest and try to read as much as possible of poltiics. The only place that I have ever seen Ron Paul’s name mentioned is on FR.
This man is unknown throughout most of the country [other than the coasts] and he will stay unknown.****
Well, he got another $5 m, this quarter to get his name out there and he is just starting to run tv spots. Last weekend, he had 6-800 supporters in N.H. going door to door for him.
$5 M is not much to most of the leading campaigns, but Ron Paul doesn’t have an army of advisers, pollsters, advance men, etc. So it more like $10 M for any other campaign. Plus Ron Paul gets a ton of free advertising from his supporters. Most of the Ron Paul signs, you see, were purchased or made by his supporters.

Ron Paul is nothing but an excellent asset of Hillary Clinton and of Islamic terrorists worldwide.

Yes, he believes in smaller government. I can definitely understand how that's "out of touch" with the current Republican establishment.

You'll notice that I did not state that it was Ron Paul's objective but rather, Clinton Inc.'s objective for him to get 10-15% of the popular vote.
If you look at his donor list, you'll find a lot of people who are giving to both RP and Hillary. That suggests they think he will pull more votes away from the GOP than from Hillary... and they are backing it up with their money.

We get it...put the kool-aid down and back away from your condescending soap box.
Ron is a loon...we know one when we see one...and we recognize his glassy eyed lemmings.
To: bcsco
Also remember that the Democrats have not broken 50% of the popular vote since 1976, and it has happened only twice in the last 60 years. (Fact shamelessly stolen from Rush’s show today).
Clinton Inc. needs a 3rd candidate, and despite his similarities to Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul will hurt the GOP more than Clinton Inc. in ‘08

But I don't buy the idea it'll take votes away from conservatives. In the primaries? Yes. But it's the general election that counts and there's no way RP will be the GOP nominee.
