Ok, I think a lot of us think that had Ron Paul been the Republican Party candidate that he would've pwned Obama because the economy is his biggest strength.
Then I thought about it. The media would actually be blaming Ron Paul for the failed economy. They would say that because of all of his talks about the Federal Reserve and the negativity about the banking system, that he was causing the destabilization of the banks and that it was his fault for the crisis that we are in.
Back in the 2000 election the economy was starting to tank. I remember hearing news reports saying that it was George Bush's fault because Bush was campaigning talking about a weak economy and how he was going to fix it.
Maybe it's a mixed blessing only in a PR sense that Ron Paul wasn't the RP candidate. Though he was the only one who could have fixed it, but don't tell them that.
