^I was voting on those while watching it on abcnews.com. Finny how dissatisfied most people are with the two front runners.
Ron Paul is one of the most discussed candidates on the Web (from my experience), yet is mentioned rarely. That is because if he won the Republican nomination, he would win the Presidency- no question about it.
The other candidates? They violate the rules of the debate (going over time, interrupting to get another response, etc.), spend a significant amount of their time going after Obama, or fail to address the question in favor of attacking another candidate (or feeding us platitudes).
From my times watching these debates, Dr. Paul has done none of these.

I know, it's really pathetic how ignored he is by the media. He seemed to really be the only candidate who was respectful and for the most part stuck to the question asked rather than ranting about how awesome they are.
I think it was Michele Bachmann who kept referring to herself in the third person, and I think Rick Perry did too, and that really pissed me off. It was something like "Michele Bachmann would do blah blah blah", and it just came off as uselessly pretentious to me.
The only thing bad about Ron Paul is his hearing probably isn't what it used to be.

sh*t just got deep in hurr.
I totally agree with Rob, though. I'll also take a guy who makes sense and keeps consistent the whole time. I found it really annoying when Bachmann kept referring to herself as the "consistent conservative" and no mention of Ron Paul's, what, 30 year consistency was made.
Oh and I loved this (from Bachmann): "I'm fifty-five years old and I've been a responsible businesswoman [or whatever the actual term she used was] for fifty years"
I had no idea she was a businesswoman at age five...

No one has said one bad thing about Paul. I don't see why they don't just throw their support behind him and let him get sh*t done.
And about the 55-50 comment, my wife caught that before me (I'm sick and therefore hopped up on hot toddies). Makes one wonder how she feels about Newt's position on child labor laws!
My dear wife also opined (regarding Newt): "Who would want to do him?"

She would, honey. Someone 23 years his junior.
That's unfortunate because she looks like a Hagraven from Skyrim.

Well, the poor and middle classes do control the media.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Who the heck would like to be a president in the USA now ? It is like volunteering to get a bout of black death. An US president from next year has no room for imposing his/her own political agendas. Has no room to do popular things. Has no room to do anything else than making life harder, much more harder for the voters for the next 4 years. So what do you do ? Like you always do when it comes to bad jobs nobody really want: Give a black man this job. Something the Republicans has proved by handing Barack Obama the job again from 2012.
