in the last two debates, ron paul has been criticized for his difference in his views with iraq and other issues versus the other candidates. he has stated that 70% of the american people back him on leaving iraq, and i think that's all well and good, but i think he needs to go into further depth with this.
when asked a question on how republican he is, paul should ask who among the candidates running for the primaries could actually beat a democrat. obviously most of that 70% are democrat or third-party, and will vote against any republican wanting to stay in iraq. but he needs to inform the republican audience that he will get many of the democrat AND third-party votes if he makes it to the primaries. no other republican would be able to do that.
he needs to state that he is the only republican hopeful that will be able to get the presidential seat against a democrat. this needs to be done in a debate with the entire republican audience to hear. i think it's an excellent point that needs to come right from ron paul's mouth- not just his supporters- and will make for an excellent sound bite.
