I'm not sure I understand your reasoning, Tech. You say it undermines his ability to get his view across, but how does someone get his views across better then running on one of the 2 major political parties in the United States? Personally, I think he would consider going independent if he doesn't get the Republican nomination, but to say that would hurt his chances of getting voted the Republican candidate.

Shallow I respect most of your postings but on this one your point is based around a glaring inaccuracy. After the presidential results which resulted in Bush supposedly beating Al Gore, it was revealed that in fact Al Gore did win the election but through some blatant fraud, manipulation and Al Gore deciding to be the fall guy, Bush won. Secondly your argument is based around this notion that the democrats and the republicans are genuinely seperate, when in fact Murdoch has been thoroughly supportive of Hilary Clinton and Roger Aisles is the man who is advising her. Here is where the media cast official left and right paradigm is shattered, not just shattered but officially shattered. In fact this only acts as confirmation as what most people who are not so deeply entrenched in camps have realised already. They just wear a different jersey their policies and ideology are practically indistinguishable on the major issues. I think the likelihood is this, his popularity is growing exponentially, there is a deep growing awareness of him and therefore I don't think it likely even remotely possible to even contemplate him being killed, it would be too obvious. The most likely scenario is they will cheat him by fixing the election results yet again, however that in itself would also be a positive if in the mean time Ron Paul's popularity keeps soaring because then people will consciously wake up to the fact that he has been cheated. It's the issues which he has raised to the public's consciousness that will matter more in the long term than if he gets screwed in this election. I recall Tucker Carlson even asking him how he intends to establish his policies if elected when both parties are consumed with neocon ideology.
you understand that if he runs indepenedent hes gunna get alot of votes from republicans making their candiate loose. which in turn would make hillary clinton as president.
