If it weren't for the electorial college, the 2000 election would have gone very, very differently

I'm not at all keen on Hillary. I live in New York State, and I fail to recognize any decent thing she's done for me while she's been a senator. Worse still, she's anti-games and would be bad for our industry as a whole. I personally like Obama and think he'd be a great president. He's firm on issues, and I like what he says. Yes, he meanders to different crowds to win votes, but that's what someone absolutely must do if they hope to ditch their cube office in lieu of an oval-shaped one. You can't make a pizza without getting your hands doughy

We're all young and well-informed thanks to our appreciation of technology, so we know who Ron Paul is and are exposed to his message. But that doesn't mean most of the country will know who he is, and to most less-informed people it's a two horse race in each party (Hillary/ Obama and Guiliani/ Romney). Also, you have to remember that Ron Paul's political party alone will severely effect people's opinions of him... he belongs to a party that a lot of people aren't too happy with right now, which even further sullies his chances. Even as a member of "the other" party, I think Paul has a good message and would be an awesome president, but in all honesty I think he has too much going against him to have a hope of winning. The Presidency is a popularity contest, plain and simple, and unless his fans can get his name out more and his campaign people can figure out a way to improve his image to a wider audience, he isn't going to come close to winning the primary.
