You mean he’d have a harder time beating Obama than getting the Republican nomination?..I’m really not sure where that’s coming from.
Less than half the Americans polled could name a single person on the Republican debate stage last week…including Romney, Perry, and Paul. Name recognition plays a large role, whether you like it or not. And again I have no idea where you’re coming up with this stuff…“a far bigger menace than Ross Perot in 1992”? Sure Paul’s the real deal, but Perot had a bottomless pit of money to draw from, and didn’t need a single moneybomb. The guy spent $60 million…20 years ago. You want to know what that would roughly be today? Almost $100 million. He bought 30 minute and full hour-long segments on major television networks, and in the final days of the campaign was spending $5 million [$7.7million] per day. And yes he got 19% of the vote…and 0% of the Electoral College.
Paul has enough of a battle with the media as it is…you seriously think you could get his name mentioned on a single airwave after the Republican convention if he wasn’t the nominee? You’re dreaming.
