I hope everyone realizes the only reason Romney is doing so well is because people HATE Obama and perceive Romney as the most electable/ with the best shot at beating Obama. Why are we not plastering the polls everywhere that Ron Paul is running just as competitive to Mitt Romney when put up against Obama? Especially given the fact that a main sticking point is that there is a mass delusion that Ron Paul is the least electable?
Our perceived weakest quality - electability - is actually our strongest. The man is a veteran, has been married 54 years, has never flip-flopped on a single major issue, and has been elected 12 times. Let's fix this now.
I would love for Ron to say this in the debate tonight:
"I would like to correct something I said in a previous debate that I was wrong about. I stated in Iowa that anyone on the stage could beat Obama based on his own poor record. In light of events that have transpired and recent polls coming out, it's clear that the only two people left in this race that stand a chance against Obama are me and Mitt. We are the only two that pull independents and disaffected democrats in the polls, undercutting Obama's base. This is absolutely essential if we want to stand any chance at winning this election. Now between the two electable candidates, I'm the only one that was and currently still is against the bailouts, against individual mandates, against unnecessary wars, and has a real plan to actually cut spending - not just proposed increases. I think it is essential that we pick someone who can beat Obama. However, it's even MORE essential that we pick someone who will offer different policies than Obama and not just tinker around the edges. We are in a dire situation with the economy on the brink of collapse. If we elect a Republican that just goes in and tinkers around the edges, it won't only be the end of the GOP, but could very well be the last nail in the coffin to our country's future. As president, I will restore this party, but more importantly, I will restore this country to our constitution and therefore to a sound economy."
