What is all this talk of Ron Paul?
He wouldn’t win at all!
Of course he won’t, it is the press trying to rally a loser to go against their guy. Like Mccain they promoted the hell out of him because they new he didnt electrify the right. Thus would lose.
The media loves the power to create and destroy persona. People fall for it daily. It is the seduction of ego. That is why they hate Palin. They want so bad for her to have weaknesses they can use to manipulate and exploit. However ( it appears) her identity does not come from the office she holds. When there is an internal driver for identity the press can not reach in and manipulate it. That drives them crazy and must get her out because they can not control the horse.
Most politicians can be played like violins because most are like actors. They are driven by an insatiable desire for external acceptance. All you have to do is feed them attention and they eat it up.... then you begin to pull it away and they begin to clamor to return it to the level it was. At that point the hook is set, they are compromised and you own them.
