First, Ron Paul is substantive and has gravitas. Two things that no one wants to see in politics today (or at least votes for these days). The big O was slick, well packaged, and said all the right things (as long as he had a teleprompter and not speaking to Joe the Plumber). He is, in fact, the opposite of the big O. This is Mitt's to win. He possesses the same slick willy shit that has been dumped on us since Bush the first was elected. The only thing that can unseat him is a dark horse that we really haven't been exposed to, much in the same way we didn't know much about the big O (and still don't). Who that is? I have no idea. However, I would give my left foot to see either Newt (regardless of what you might think of him, he is incredibly intelligent) or Paul to debate the big O. I think your comparison doesn’t work.
