I just hope when Ran loses the nomination he doesn't act like a baby and throw a temper tantrum like his looney father did.

thats because ron paul was cheated, and theres alot of evidence to back that up. media doesnt touch it though of course.

He wasn't cheated. He is\was a sore loser and has been his whole life.

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)—With nearly 20 contenders vying for their attention, Iowa Republicans are finding themselves in an unusual predicament this year: overwhelmed by their choices.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's consistent lead in public polls might suggest that the Hawkeye State is his to lose, particularly after he opened a 7-point advantage over his closest rivals in The Des Moines Register poll released Saturday. But interviews with GOP voters and operatives here tell a different story: a wide open race with ample room for a second-tier candidate such as Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina or Rick Perry to vault to the top.

'Young blood'
Finding the most viable candidate to take on Clinton is already a top preoccupation for Republican voters here. As she walked into a nail salon in Clive last week, 102-year-old Republican June E. Cornelius expressed impatience with candidates who are running for a second or a third time. She favors Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

"These are all old men. I think we need young blood," Cornelius said. "Everybody is running but me."

Especially enjoyed this one >>>

Haven't followed politics as heavily the past few years as I did in 2008...

I'm getting the impression that Rand Paul is no Ron Paul. However, I haven't yet seen any other candidate wanting to crack down on Chinese outsourcing and crooked banking. Nor have I seen any other candidate stand up for liberties quite as firmly.

My only issue would be his foreign policy, which I don't disagree with. We just need to make sure we still attack quickly and harshly if physically threatened. Ron Paul made mention of this back in 2008. He was never "anti-war", as many believed. He was merely against never-end occupation of foreign soil.

I think what I miss most about Ron Paul is his debating style. He used facts, history, and theory as his tools. It seemed no one actually wanted to debate him intellectually. They would merely shout out slogans and sling dirt (which no one ever had any dirt on Dr. Paul). The media was certainly against him during his campaign. To call him a "sore loser" though.... I question the validity of this accusation.
