Yes it was very very important to show how much support he will have in the general. I also loved the segment after the debate when he told John King about his appeal to the independent voters while the other candidates get none.
Ron's phrasing the answer with "I've tried the moral argument, the legal argument..." was a very powerful moment in the debate as well. People will have asked themselves if maybe they are a little too hawkish, and in turn might side with Ron more often that in the past. Very powerful words from a very intelligent man.
I want more freedom and I cannot lie. No other brothers can deny. When the Fed marches in with a itty-bitty rate and the IRS takes your cake, it's no FUN!
yes, challenging his so called unelectability, mentioning polls against Obama and his ability to bring in independent and young voters.
but we are assuming that the average republican voters make rational judgments !! lol, i hope they do.

As I wrote in my thread,
the best part of the debate was when Dr. Paul said something to the tune of...
"Since I can't get you on the moral and constitutional point of foreign policy, I'll explain the economic problem..."
I was like, "DAT MAN...DAT MAN..."
"I am, therefore I'll think" - Ayn Rand
Thanks for thisI'm impressed at the reaffirmation of Paul being 2nd in delegates. Cudos to Paul for saying so, but really still surprised that it was repeated rather than cut off or downplayed. Media decides now that Santo is imploding it's Pauls turn? (I know, not likely, but it'd sure be neat lol
I won't hold my breath tho
)
also I've seen the highlights but can anyone link to a tube of the full debate?

The best debate I've seen! Dr. Paul made a great case and if people are too stupid to get it, well ... very sobering when he warned about a draft, for boys and girls. I pray this starts to sink in.
Thank you. I've read reports that projected that Paul was leading in delegates; but when I look at the Green Papers, it's not being represented. I'd like to see where Paul is getting these numbers. I know that we have strong organization. We need something solid to show the naysayers that we can win. So many out there just want to vote for a winner, and put that over principle.
