Ron Paul's Effect Unknown Yet Viable We are quickly wrapping up the two-party dog and pony show we call the Presidential Primaries and as we head into the general elections nobody knows the effect Ron Paul will have.by Gary Wood

Throughout the primaries there's been a level of excitement generated by Ron Paul's campaign for the White House. The Texas Congressman has been all but shut out of the news, especially during the past two months. According to Dann McCreary's When It Comes To Ron Paul News, Spin Is King, "The Associated Press manages to latch onto the most negative possible angles in every Ron Paul story." This sentiment appears to be quite accurate.
Many events were marked by the large crowds waving Ron Paul signs and showing support for their candidate of choice. John McCain mentioned the abundance of Paul supporters as did Rudy Giuliani who had more Paul supporters show up to one of his events than his own supporters. There were record setting fund raising days, many the brain child of Trevor Lyman, known as "money bombs" that surprised the masses and even had the mainstream media take serious notice. The volunteers nicknamed Dr. Paul's campaign as a revolution, altering slightly the spelling to emphasize the word love and this banner could be seen along highways across the country. Just this past Saturday an enthusiastic crowd estimated to be near 7,000 gathered in Austin to listen to Grammy-award winning artist Jimmy Vaughn play and Ron Paul speak.
His message is grounded in his commitment to his oath of office, defending the U.S. Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. With an unwavering focus on the importance of liberty and personal responsibility the great-grandfather, veteran, and OB doctor inspires young and old alike. His appeal to younger Americans is one of the most enjoyable aspects in watching his campaign. Many have claimed Dr. Paul is directly responsible for ending their apathy regarding politics. Yet, with all this excitement overall voting averages linger in the single digit percentile making some pundits believe he has not been a viable candidate.

The revolutionary awakening we witnessed with respect to the history of our nation and the important features within the unprecedented experiment put into action through the U.S. Constitution is still growing and developing. Those who are committed to Ron Paul's campaign are now existing and developing as an independent unit. Dr. Paul will not become our next President, there's little doubt of that.
Yet the effect of his campaign is not known. It will show itself in every Congressional race this year and the years ahead. It will show itself in local and State level races. His message of restoring our Federalist Republic to the Constitution lives on. Holding politicians to their oath of office is not going to simply fade away. There is a very reasonable chance the Ron Paul Revolution will have success. There should be no doubt in anyone's political mind the exhilarating campaign Ron Paul has waged is extremely viable today and well into the future. Those running for office will do well to remember we the people will hold them to their oath.

I am the main stream media. When showing the graphics of the remaining candidates I will always have an empty space where Ron Paul would be shown. My computers do not have the capability to add another image. I do not have the time in my broadcast schedule to make any mention of him. His name is two whole sylables for goodness sakes. Time is money. I am truly sorry. This was not meant to be intentional. I am on a tight budget.
Cavuto had Ron Paul on his show the other day because he's the ONLY candidate who knows ANYTHING about economics and can analyse the economic shithole we're in now. So Dr. Paul, as usual, is explaining in lay terms what is going on. But Cavuto rushed his dissertation so he could get to the juicy part - 'are you going to drop out? will you support InsaneMcCain?' How rude can these bubbleheads be? Did any of them EVER ask their RonPaul-drop-out rudeness of Ghouliani? GollywoodFred? the Mittster? before they all dropped out & became has-beens of this freak show.
