After reading some about Ron Paul lately, he did not deserve to be ignored the way he was through this election. As I look back on clips from the debates I see how, simply by his demeanor he could be perceived as a radical, although his ideas are not that far off base. He proves this by his massive amount of support especially from the younger generation. But Ron Paul wasn’t taken seriously as a candidate, even when he raised record amount of money! As the Texas primary approaches, I see only one way he can still be taken seriously, remembered as a candidate, or at least have his fifteen minutes of fame. It is a far fetched idea, and might get swept under the rug just like Ron Paul himself, but read on….

Super Tuesday II is March 4^th, consisting of the following states for the Republicans:

• Texas - 140 Delegates
• Ohio - 88
• Rhode Island - 20
• Vermont - 17

(Vermont is the only winner take all state on Super Tuesday 2)

Texas is Ron Paul’s home state, regardless of the polls, will he make a showing there? If yes, can it be enough to actually WIN the state? (After all it IS his home state, granted it’s a large one and he does not represent the entire state in congress). So let’s be realistic, maybe he can’t win the state, but will he have an effect? Being a Huckabee supporter I do not know enough about Paul to know who he will steal votes from. But I do know enough to realize he has been treated unfairly in this race, especially at the debates. As Americans we should be disappointed that our system would put up as many roadblocks for one candidate (as it did for Paul) and give so many free passes, or short cuts to another (as it dos for Obama).
