Ron Paul is not a top tier candidate. Even Huckabee, who had no name recognition to start, is showing greater potential in the long run.
What the Repubs should fear most is that RP bolts for an independent candicacy and the "Nader" effect kicks in like it did for Dems in 2000.

He's the only republican with a different view. As republican candidates go, do you support him over the other candidates? Most of the other ones just taking Bush's barking orders.
9/11 would of been a lot less severe if the people we trust to fly thousands of people a year safely had a gun. Maybe it would of been 4 crashed planes if the pilot had a gun, instead of 3/4 planes hitting their target. Who knows. Police carry guns, why not a pilot?
