This weeks Fox Sunday Newscast was all about Ron Paul. Will Republicans vote for him? It can be found here.
If Ron Paul were to be the Republican Nominee (very unlikely but things happen), the Obama campaign has very little to worry about. Ron Paul has some quite extreme views and has made some questionable remarks in the past dealing with race and ethnicity. He is an isolationist and believes that America should have very little involvement in other countries issues. This is not an extreme view and in fact, George Washington did warn against getting involved in other countries' problems and no one heeded his warning.
But this is not about George Washington and foreign affairs, this about Ron Paul and his extreme views on social issues. Something that comes up many times is that the Republicans are currently trying to appeal to a conservative audience, but in the general election, they are trying to win the hearts of the moderates.
From where he stands now, Ron Paul will have a very tough time with that. But only time can tell.
