To get his own poll?

I mean, I used to be a fan of his when he was actually a maverick up to about 2005, then he became a lamer, but usually for a poll to be made he would have to have done something to be noticed.

I know he's said some things recently, but wondering what exactly prompted it.

I just watched the most recent debate and found his lack of ability laughable in the face of his prior heaps of promise as a candidate (if you'll recall, I actually said something about him having the most chances maybe >_>).

Also I couldn't think of anything else.

Well, yeah. Old-School McCain would probably have been the favorite by-far to be president.

Then he decided that somehow pandering to the right-wing and giving up any attempt to be a moderate was cruise control for cool.

Unfortunately, he forgot that you still have to steer with cruise control.

Yes; he also forgot to campaign or something. He disappeared off the face of the earth for a while there after getting his quarter earnings (or lack thereof) calculations in, or at least that's what it seemed like to me. Then again, I'm not paying too much attention to this campaign season.

Yeah, his earnings totally sucked, he's basically been running a campaign with minimal cash. It's why the mainstream media discounted him months ago.

Now he's being mentioned every now in then in a scenario where all the Republicans screw each other over and he's the only one left standing. Still not much though.

I actually had some hope for him after the funding dissipated - after all, Ron Paul sustained a campaign based on volunteers and managed to gain quite a bit of attention, albeit mostly negative - but now he seems to have left his centrist, sensible mentality and has adopted some screwy conservative demagoguery.

What's Ron Paul done?

And careful, you may have evoked the wrath of his legion of followers, nothing seems to escape them.

What's Ron Paul done?

Recently he seems to have made a lot of money, but when the campaign was just beginning, the grassroots Ron Paul cabal got him into the spotlight at minimal cost to him. It's just that once he came into that light everyone started hating on him. >_>

nothing seems to escape them.

That's because they've merged with the Internet.

If you mean the other candidates started hating on him, it's because they have to, they can't possible agree with him or else they basically sabotage themselves in the primary.

If you mean people in general, I blame the fanbase myself. I used to think favorably of Ron Paul, but now I just kind of sigh when I hear him brought up being the legion that follows him is just... it's like they are a hivemind that says nearly the exact same thing every time.

Ron Paul has good ideas on a great deal of topics, but he's not perfect, which is what all his supporters seem to argue to the death.

Isn't John McCain the guy from Die Hard?

No wait, I checked McCain's myspace, it isn't him.

That would be John McClane, and if he ran, any vote less than 100% barring extremely unusual circumstances would be unacceptable.

Yes, it would be very awesome to say the least if John McClane ran for president.
