Ron Paul does not have a prayer of beating Obama.
No 76 year-old has a prayer of being elected President. The electorate will not seriously consider a man who would turn 80 in his first term.
The prevailing view on Paul, right or wrong, is that he is an old loon who runs for President and makes a fool of himself. That perception is not changing, it is growing as Paul gets more attention.
Pauls last campaign ends soon, unless he runs as a third party candidate, and I pray that he does. He will pull more votes from Obama than from the Republican nominee.
RP and Romney are the only two right now beating obama or are tied. FACT
