unfortunately you need to have a subscription to time to read the whole thing, so its impossible to know how much of a hit-piece it is. therefore hard to say if we even want the cover, but i think it would be worth it.

I clicked and read what I could.

They could've picked a better picture where he looks a little more humble though, as he does in 99% of his photos. Or perhaps this photo makes him look more "presidential" to all the sheep judging on looks.

I like this picture too. The suit/tie/watch look good together.

Getting this on the front cover of Time would be a nice contrast to their last one of Bachmann.

yeah i paid 3 bucks and read the article. prob not allowed to paste it here i guess? it was okay, similar to that esquire one a way back, basically saying hes moved the debate but is hardly electable and has some far off ideas. follows his principles even when its not popular (cites not giving medals to mother theresa, rosa parks, reagan.... and not giving aid to katrina victims). an article which admits his presence and influence while still retaining fringe undertones.

yeah good picture

and i love the title too

Anything titled 'The Prophet' will be good publicity.

Are you sure you need a subscription? I don't have one and I can read it.

"To read the entire article, you must be a U.S. TIME subscriber. Already registered? Sign in below"

And yes, please don't post the contents here - if they've done the work to write the article, when so many other places simply ignore him - they deserve the fruits of their labor - and if they make some bucks off of it they'll be inclined to do more.

Thank you Shane for supporting it and giving us a quick run-down. :thumbs up:

in fact that was part of what inclined me to pay the 2.99 for a one month-at-a-time subscription.

How do we know that it's possible to get a front cover. The front cover for next week is already up as being gadhafi.

Mischaracterizations:

1. Paul is for a gold standard. (He's actually for competing currencies)
2. Paul is against gay marriage (He's actually for privatizing marriage, and then all people could marry contractually to their hearts' content)
3. Says the only libertarian position on abortion is pro-choice.
4. The primary component of his 2008 campaign were anarchists (well, it was listed first).

Overall, good article. Minimal liberal/statist bias.

Behold! The honorable Ronald Earnest Paul!

In this picture he looks sharp! Love the pinstriped suit! It's perfect! His tie represents business and prosperity.

EDIT: You're right, I'd like some more info before people start paying for subscriptions... This article is dated for release on Monday, September 5th, and TIME has given that Gadhafi will be featured for the 5th:

This article is dated for release on Monday, September 5th, so I'm guessing this indeed will be released in TIME, but we have to push it to the cover.

Hasn't Time, in the past, had multiple covers to choose from for a certain date? Wasn't that the case with Rand and some other "noteworthy" tea party candidates during the general election 2010? So, maybe we could at least have a choice between Ron Paul and Gadhafi?

My guess is that it probably depends on whether Gadhafi is captured/eliminated by then or not. If he is captured, he will be on the cover. If he is still on the run, it will be Ron. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with how many views the article gets as the Gadhafi thing would be a much more popular story.

so is this hitting the shelves on Sept 5th like what the Time article has listed as the date of the article or tomorrow like this Politico article says: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/62087.html


and a four-page Time magazine feature on his campaign’s momentum will hit newsstands tomorrow.
