That's it in a nutshell.
Besides, We need to listen to the people that have already passed judgement relating the Ron Paul. He simply isn't POTUS material, according to voters. Why didn't he run for Senator in your state? My guess is that he had no chance of winning. Personality is important, as well as positions at the national level. Ron seems like a good man, but he's not someone that 1/2 of the voting public nationally can get behind, me included.
He didn't run for senator in my state because I live in Missouri. : )
Don't forget the majority of people who voted in the 2008 election gave us BO.
If we can support Romney, why can't we support Paul - especially in upcoming primaries where giving him more delegates has the possibility of stopping Romney at the convention?
