The same smear was used successfully against Ron Paul's candidacy, albeit combined with a seemingly willful determination by the mainstream media to completely ignore or glibly dismiss Paul's many successes. It worked because, for Paul's supporters, the argument was an inescapable trap. The only way to spread the message of their underdog candidate was to evangelize. The more they fought against the zealot label, the more zealous they seemed. The more they tried to point out the "Paul Blackout", the more paranoid they sounded.

Prime example,

He hasn't given up, the Ron Paul campaign works a little different.

Ron represents and speaks for the people. He's not running for himself, he's running as long as he's recieving support from the people and that is what is happening.

He still has $6,000,000 dollars for his campaign. He can't use it for his congressional run, I'm sure his people have some interesting ways in using that money to spread the word. The grassroots does all the advertising for him but we know we wont get mass media coverage, so we are spreading the word in other ways. So while you may not hear about it on TV, we are still all trying to collect as many delegates as possible as well as getting involved in politics so we can place people in positions where they CAN make true change. This is a movement and Ron Paul just happens to be a part of it.

Again, this campaign isn't about Ron Paul but the millions of people that share most of his views.

Plus, he has as much of a chance as Reagan did around this time during his campaign.  ;D
