Thompson has media connections and knows how to play them. Paul does not simple as that. Yes the media at time can be a bit biased but it is up to Paul to rattle his tin cup against the bars and not just his supporters who often come off as some strange cult followers which is just down right creepy.
Another issue I do not think he has even considered besides hiring a better PR team, is that Americans hate several things politics aside. They hate tow truck drivers, Doctors, and Lawyers. Ron Paul is at least two of those and he insists on being called Dr. Ron Paul. In case you have not noticed I believe Huckabee has been feeling some of the same backlash because he is also a pastor or some religious shit and people are not comfortable with that crap that at least he does have the majority of the bible thumpers behind him.
Lastly please stop saying that those with a higher IQ support him. Typically IQ has very little to do with to many factors to even make it a valid insult and to top it off, insulting anyone and everyone by saying whomever does not support him is less intellegent. Maybe some of us like his ideas but feel he is overselling the farm even for a politician. Maybe some of us feel his powers could be better used elsewhere. Maybe some of us feel he should be bringing up more of these arguements in debates and the news challenging candidates to respond and when they dont calling them out again in the media for being pussies. Lastly many of us are concerned with his age, honestly he seems to have a foot and a half in the grave already. Then his usage of gothic style lettering does not help the fact much when the first thing that comes to my mind is ok who will his VP be cause this dude is going to die in the first 2 years of office.
