Not surprising. The media - marginalizing Ron Paul is their new favorite game.

Probably because he doesn't get advice from anyone. He's the advice giver.

this made me laugh....

"Of the four main candidates right now, only Jon Huntsman can creditably claim to be a foreign-policy expert -- and he's looking like a realist."

until new orleans a few weeks ago, id never heard of this guy and he hasnt been in any debate, but now hes a main candidate? and an expert at foreign polocy??? lol!!!

Foreign Policy is the weakness of all gop candidates other than Paul. Current Pres has same weakness and many more.

Yeah, I know, right? I could sit around saying "NO" all day for 50 grand less than they'd pay an expert, I'd still be getting a huge raise, and the world would be a lot safer.

Wait a sec.... if I'm willing to undercut you to do essentially the same job, doesn't that mean we need professional licensing and regulation in the professional sheister market?

Sure he does. In 2008 his foreign policy advisers were Charles Peņa (http://www.cato.org/people/charles-pena), Doug Bandow (http://www.cato.org/people/doug-bandow), and Philip Giraldi (http://original.antiwar.com/author/giraldi/).
