A little over half way down.

More at the link above agree with what he wrote. Ron needs to focus and repeat often.

But somehow, while Paul was providing sage advice on why everyone should have a living will, he lost focus and did not drive his point home about state's rights and reducing the size of government in our lives. Again, the public supports Paul's position by a wide margin. And the topic ties in so beautifully with Paul's two overarching themes of individual liberty and small government. He needed to make this connection and then repeat it over and over.

Staying on target. Important -- if not so much for Gold Leader as for the candidates.

Wow... that was a lot of Paul paragraphs in a story with a Romney headline.

That was a fair critique. I really don't understand why Ron Paul hasn't had a good debate coach. There's really no excuse. He's had 4 years since the last run to prepare. I find it depressing to think about all the missed opportunities that he's had at the debates.
