Whether the media establishments want to admit it or not, and believe me they don't, Ron Paul IS the 'front runner' for the republican primary. Despite voracious denials and vitriolic arguments from almost every quarter to the contrary, he is the only one with a chance of shutting out Obama for the presidency in 2012. He appeals to all sides of the aisle, and is attracting the much sought after independent swing vote almost as fast as he has the youth of the nation. The Internet is indisputably Ron Paul country as countless polls and google trends have repeatedly shown. The gradual change in political rhetoric flowing out of Washington, D.C. over the last 3 years reflects an explosion of interest in the freedom message he spreads so tirelessly. The continuous growth in popularity of talk and news shows focusing on freedom and the Constitution broadcasts loud and clear the rising prominence of issues he has brought to the debate. For anyone with any powers of discernment, it's a no-brainer.
So why do media pundits, dime a dozen politicians, and innumerable experts of self-aggrandized consequence spend great swathes of time, effort, and someone's money working so hard to convince the people otherwise? You can't turn on a TV, pick up a paper or surf the Internet without encountering the words "He can't win," or some other lame variation repeated ad nauseam with great gusto. According to all the most acclaimed talking heads, that mythical beast "The Front Runner" has yet to be seen on the horizon and is still to arise from some unknown lair, "blazing a new trail" of GOP fame and success across political skies sometime in the not too distant future. Their blind adherence to this tired refrain boggles the mind. Personally, I can find only one reason for the constant repudiation...fear. Fear of the known...Ron Paul, and fear of the unknown...future largess. The status-quo is cornered and its biggest backers are flailing in desperation through media and political mouthpieces.

Ron Paul would have kinda been taken seriously by me until he announced that he would NOT have gone after bin laden in a raid similar to what Obama did. Definately ruined any chance of getting my vote.
Hannity and Rush won't even mention his name! FOX and Beck also never miss a chance to try to make him look stupid
He also lost my vote on his stance over Osama.
Hannity has him on his show regularly 4:25. You must not listen or you are a democrat that can't hear anything but liberal dribble. I would rather have someone better on the ticket but Paul would be so much better than what we have now. At least he wouldn't spend us into oblivion.
I've listened to Paul speak...he has some unusual/radical ideas, but doesn't EVERY politician?? I'm not endorsing or criticizing the guy....just saying that no politician has ALL the answers, but he IS worth listening to...with an open mind.
As a Conservative... Ron Paul, IMHO, is the only candidate that not only walks and talks the talk/walk... but sticks to his convictions. He cannot be bought and sold like most politicians. He is more "conservative" than most of the candidates posed to run for office. He gets played as being "radical" or "crazy"... but if you listen to his platform.. I think you will be surprised at how much you agree with him.. oh... and he has a pretty much spotless voting record regarding his convictions.
Scott Brown for president!
I've always been a fan of Ron Paul, and truth be told, out of the current "possible" candidates, he's the only one that could court blue dogs and the independents, as well as bringing out the vote in the GOP. Many knock him, but really folks, look around. A lot of "so called" possible GOP nominees are toxic, and will never in any realm of reality get 50%+. Ron Paul can.
Perhaps Ron Paul's biggest liability is his age: 76 in August. He would be over 80 at the end of one term!
He wants to sell all of our gold to China. Brilliant.
1125-Gold has no industrial use. At best, it's a shiny trinket. Why not sell it at multiples of it's historical value?
