I think he's right and there isn't another Republican out there that can bring in the youth vote like Ron Paul, which well could be Barrack Obama's Achilles heel.

So, we have 20%+ unemployment rate for youts ~ if Ron Paul starts selling red armbands to support his campaign, you'll know what sentiments he's tapping into.

I'd be afraid; very afraid.

I don’t think he can win. Is he right? ya, but when people look in to his views they tend to sour on him. Plus at 75 he’s going to look like the geriatric ward on stage with Obama.

Not impressed, I heard him on Laura Ingraham a few months ago. He’s gutless in the face of the islamists. The fact that Jesse Ventura likes him should tell you something.

He’s right that Obama has lost the Indie/Youth vote. I hang out on some forums where there a lot of young Libertarians. Some voted for him.....others not. But I can tell you....they HATE him, now.

Funny how conservatives are so divided that in their own demise they will elect o for another term.

There have been a few ballots where Ron Paul was my best choice...and so I voted for him. I’ll do it again if circumstances dictate.

Obama’s speech is at the cadence of a pastor's/preacher's,(it's uncanny for an unreligious person) and he's consistently calling our the population for it's faults and wrongs - this does not enamor the young voter. Plus there is no Bush/Cheney boooooogey man this go around.

I think trying to win the mush-head youth vote is really just not much of a priority. Ron Paul gets the pot head and anti-war crowd, I don't think that is a conservative party's target audience.

No matter how Paul supporters and paulbots try to spin it, the problem is Ron Paul is a libertarian and not a conservative. His voice is welcome in the Republican party, but he will never even come close to winning a GOP nomination.

Ron Paul is our version of Dennis Kucinich. A niche subsection of activists truly love him, but the vast majority of the party simply reject his message.

Obama got 66% of the 18-29 year old vote last time, do you think that it will be less than 50% this time?

What is humorous about this is Ron Paul feels he has “qualities” that would attract the same brainless skulls full of mush who voted for Obama.

Then people come on FR and say Ron Paul is the answer to our conservative problems.

Too funny...

And you think Ron Paul, looking like a whiny, old duffer of an uncle, is going to attract the youth vote? You’re friggin’ crazy man...

Paul takes a tough stand in the debates and then backs down in interviews.

The media’s “Anybody But Palin” parade continues. Every time they do a hit-piece on her, they look like total garbage and she comes out smelling like a rose. It’s obvious that the media has changed tactics. They’re now operating on the premise that any airtime given to anybody else is airtime that is Sarah Palin is NOT getting. Throwing bombs hasn’t worked at all, so now it’s just a media blackout.

As for Ru Paul and Donald Trump, they’re both crappy candidates. Trump occasionally shows some potential but his criticism of Bush in 2007 was downright bizarre and shows that we shouldn’t trust his views at all. (I’m not saying that Bush didn’t deserve criticism, I’m just saying that Trump was less than impressive when going public with it. And why was he even doing it?) Ron Paul is a total pantload. Any media play that he is getting is because the MSM wants to advance weak candidates for the GOP. It worked like a charm with McCain, why wouldn’t they keep right on doing it?
