Jon will be courteous, he will allow Ron to answer. He'll throw in a "Government should help people" question, which the audience will applaud, but Ron will answer reasonably well and they will end on friendly terms.

Honestly how helpful will this be? Ron has been on the DS at least twice. Will it do any more good in a Republican primary?

If not for Jon Stewart, the media blackout would not have been so effectively exposed.

It shows crossover appeal in the general among independents and liberals. And conservatives watch his show, too. The more people talking positively about Ron the better. No harm done here, only helpful. And consider the Blue Republican movement, as well.

Hey! I have been looking forward to this forever! 2 honest and politically-powerful people on the most honest news show!

I think we're going to sign wave there, but I haven't heard what time that happens yet.

And if the subject of "party differences" comes up even jokingly by Stewart it could be a good opportunity to give a shout out to the early open primary states.

Something like, "Oh I know Jon, you don't agree with every Republican idea. But that is what makes America great, we have our differences and yet we want to make this country a better place. Everyone has a vested interest in government, now more than ever. People just need to get involved and learn the process. Places like Texas, Virginia, Tennessee... all have open primaries where any registered voter regardless of party affiliation can take part in designing the leadership of this country. People just need to research and learn why their right and ability to vote is so important."

Even Jon Stewart admitted the other night he doesn't like the direction of the Democrats. Ron Paul should hit em real hard with anti-war position, but he's been doing that a lot even at GOP debates so I'm not worried.

I think Jon will ask some hard questions on health care and preexisting conditions. Yes, I think he will be courteous, but I don't think it is going to be a love fest.

A couple months ago when Sarah Palin was in the media badmouthing rapper Common as a gangster thug, Stewart stood up for him and pointed out the bits of shoe store that were sticking out of her teeth.
Last week (or so) Stewart had Common as a guest. Common took the last bit of the spot to personally thank Stewart for everything he'd done for him. It was really touching.
It'd be nice if RP did something similar.

If he mentions his website and asks for donations live in front of millions of people, it will help big time

It could potentially be a great interview if Stewart brings up the subject of the recent Colbert "The Word" segment, where he had video of most of the mainstream GOP presidential candidates saying that they wanted to "broaden the income tax base", i.e. tax the poor. They was no video of Ron Paul in there, and there never will be. It's another issue where Ron stands out against the other candidates.

Only if Dems and Indies who like his ideas become Blue Republicans. I see that happening a lot now.

The reason it is different this time is because Democrats have no vote in the primary. The real serious ones that really want to end war will vote for Ron Paul...if they can find out about him in time...that's our job. So the answer I guess was no before, but definitely yes now.
