For months -- nay, years -- we've been hearing, "Who is the Alternative to Romney?"
THAT is why Ron Paul is not attacking Romney.
He's using the media's priming against the media.
People already have it in their head that, while they "like" Romney (though, they probably don't) there has to be an alternative.
We all know the media can redirect the "lemmings" at a moments notice, but they can't get all of them. In the process of trying to "save face" and funnel their followers in Romney's direction, they will, in most cases, consider Ron Paul.
So Ron Paul is going after the rest of the field.
It's a perfect storm.
