Not likely, unless you live in one of the reamining primary states or he runs as a 3d party in the general election.

The reason tuition is so insanely high is because government is balooning it way out of proportion. With Paul's plan, it would be much, much more affordable. The system is broken and it's not getting any better.

Interesting view:

Should we CUT public support for education, to make America more competitive in the world economy ?

If you do not understand the market competitive value of an educated population, then come out to Nevada to see the converse effect of underfunding education.

Should we NOT rely upon the market for education by making loans available for folks to exercise their market choices ?

Student loans are NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy, unlike home loans guaranteed by the government.

Ironically, Rick Santorum recently has come out publicly against getting a college education, because it indoctrinates students. He would prefer everyone work in blue collar jobs ...... for whom he doesn't say.

I think more soldiers than you'd expect don't like our war policy and would agree with Paul. BTW, nice editing Faux news... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8iGsP6bnIU

As I've said before, I don't care what any presidential candidate's views are on any situation but poker. If they are a dictator and supports online poker I will still vote for that candidate.

you are all talking about all that stuff that is irrelevant.

Ron is the only one we should support. You all act like what the US is doing against u is ok. In fact lets leep supporting the guys that f--- u in the A---.

When it comes to poker Ron is the only one that is helpful. So the more u support him the better for us.

Should not be that hard. We should lobby against all the other candidates until they support us.

Yours is the view shared by most Americans, which is why Paul is unelectable. I don't think education should be underfunded, but public education is the responsibility of the states, not the Federal Government. And it certainly isn't my responsibility as a taxpayer to subsidize student loans for the children of middle class and upper middle class families who are rich enough to buy cars for their teenage kids and take nice vacations every year.

I do, however, think that it's in the country's interest for the Government to provide scholarships to top notch students who are entering fields such as engineering, science and computer technology, so that we can remain competitive in the global economy.

Voting like this is a politicians wet dream.

The problem is op wrote a politard op. I may vote for Ron in the primary but I'm under no illusion that he can win. He can't.

We don't have anything close to a market here now and no, in my opinion we shouldn't have across the board subsidies and guarantees for Federal student loans.

And I'll remind you all of just one more thing. In the 2008 general election, Paul supported Constitution party candidate Chuck Baldwin, probably the most anti-poker, anti-libertarian candidate running, over Bob Barr and Wayne Root.

that means ron paul hates poker and the constitution

How about a 4 year paid tuition lottery each year for X% of all(*) students who graduate high school, with a right to sell a winning ticket in a secondary market, provided the seller agrees to go into the army for 4 years ? Tickets expire 6 years from date of issue.

(*No volunteers for the Ron Paul campaign would be eligible since it would violate their principles.)

... and throw in a BI to the WSOP ME if they survive their 4 years in the army.

Gary Johnson will be the most pro poker candidate on the November ballot btw

...and he has my vote 100%!

He has mine as well...... he is like Paul except he actually sounds reasonable when he spreads his message, i doubt he makes a huge impact this year but i have high hopes for him in 2016

It is quite amazing how much of an influence the media has on people not wanting to 'waste' their vote. There was an interesting BBC article on the primaries here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17282260

It ends with this little quip:

That practically every poll shows Paul's approval and people's support of his actions near the top of the field, yet he continues to receive a very modest share of votes - now tha's a story. But one that not a single major news agency has dared touch. I wonder why.

Ron Paul's best chance is to do it as an independent.

I don't see how he could be elected as an independent. The problem is the mainstream media has done an excellent smear job of painting him as unelectable. People have bought it up and are already worried about 'wasting' their vote in the primaries - an election where, win or lose, you'll always end up with a candidate who is going to fall closer to your political preferences than in the general election where failure could mean night and day....
