I like Ron Paul but he doesn't stand a chance.

He's my congressman and I vote for him, but I think he's a fruitcake.

If he is a fruitcake, and you still vote for him, you must have some incredibly limited choices....

Is this satire? If not, I'll donate blood sweat and tears.

I might write him in if he doesn't get the nod. This guy loves the Constitution AND UNDERSTANDS it.
I haven't felt hopeful in a while about politics. This puts a smile on my face.

He had no Republican challenger in the primary, and the token Democrat who ran against him in the General didn't campaign. I never even heard of him before I went to the polls in November.

About time! We may have a decent alternative to the RINO fruitcake front runners -- Giuliani, Romney, McCain.

I would vote for him in the primary if no one else interesting turns up. I would have to write him in because the partisans in Michigan can't handle the thought of competition.

I disagree with Ron Paul on at least one major issue, but I'd happily vote for him over the crop of Romney/McCain/Giulani liberals.

Paul needs to bring a constitutional agenda to the campaign; just having him in the run should carry some benefits for this nation.

I like Ron Paul but he doesn't stand a chance.Maybe. Probably. But, he will make the debate interesting.

Ron Paul could well be the Republican dark horse candidate we've been hearing about. we need a strong candidate who can focus the party back in the right direction!
Let's not count him out before we hear what he has to say.
