Impressive to say the least. Imagine what he could do with actual coverage.
Santorum with nearly 24 hour a day coverage only managed 17%.

He'd still be unelectable, even with "actual coverage". He has no significant influence on voters outside the 18-29 bracket.

but you can say that about any of the other guys too. each one of them has a niche romney will never be prez ever that guy will never unite any party the way he flip flops.
newt is an old war pig with too many bones hiding in his closet to win.
santorum's been piggy backing on the coat tails of the religious right , this group has been the deciding vote a lot of times but alone it does not have a lot of power.

Hes going to have to work on a clearer message in his debates to gain more support. His SC debate was pretty epic failure. However comparing numbers from 2008, the numbers are doubled or tripled. That could win him a few states at least.

At the rate he is picking up votes, if he runs in 2040...he will be the nominee, and he will only be 95. Perfect representation of the "libertarian" population.
You know, the guys who think everything was perfect and wonderful 100 years ago. Oh yeah, sorry if you are female, black, or non-christian. Not really.

Ron Paul has been campaigning for the last 4 years. He has been on Fox and CNN almost constantly. People have heard his message, they know what he offers, and the vast majority rejects it as you can see by the primaries so far.
His lack of coverage now isn't a part of some vast conspiracy or even because of media sensationalism or ineptitude. Its because he's irrelevant.

Ron Paul's main targets are states with caucuses and ones that apportion delegates proportionately. Since Florida is being penalized half its delegates and it is all-or-nothing, it would be a waste of money for Paul to campaign there.

This would be a case of seeing only what we want to see and putting on blinders for everything else. While I like your steadfast devotion to him (even while I dont think you have any clue what he actually stands for in reality) the basic fact is he got a lot of press coverage in the last 4 years. He isnt getting any now because he is irrelevant because most everyone knows he is un-electable.
