Why in any article written about Paul must it be stated that he is "a long shot". If he is such a long shot why is he the #1 recipient of campaign donations from military personnel? CNN should not be calling anyone a long shot. It is not your job to roll your proverbial eyes for the American Public.

what'up Ron C. What does Ron Paul do as a politician? vote yes and no? That's not a leader.You guys can cry about Romneys wealth,family,looks,and faith, but he is a leader. And a successful one at that. I've been to Ron Pauls website, and agree with alot of his views… he is a good man, but he's not a leader. Don't get me wrong, Bush is a butthole. Romney won't be like him.
"for he who sins against the greater light, shall receive the greater condemnation".- for Romney to neglect the needy in this country will be spiritual suicide. And he knows this. Paul is third at best, with Huckabee second. Peace to all.

hawnstyle?? You must be a complete idiot. You would waste your vote on a guy like Romney? Give me a break. Ron Paul is everything Romney wishes he could be. Romney is buying peoples vote. That doesnt make him "by the people". God Bless Ron Paul and his wife. hope she is feeling better. Go Ron Go.

maybe ron paul should be with his wife. he is wasting time trying to climb mount everest… he has no shot at the nomination. i don't mean to be cruel but go take care of your wife and stop wasting everyones time. all u clouded thinking dreamers should wake up. ron paul is done!!! telling his supporters to jump on the Romney buses… no free ride in america loooooosers. GO ROMNEY!

Me and my entire family and local meetup group wish you the speediest of recoveries Mrs. Paul.

Liberty '08!

I am hoping and praying that Mrs. Paul will be well. Dr. Paul is our LAST HOPE to save our Republic. If he doesn't win, the beginning of the end of our freedom as we know it is about to come very soon. The other candidates are left in the dust when it comes to knowledge of the Constitution that Dr. Paul has. Take care and be well Mrs. Paul and Dr. Paul. We are counting on you!

Ron Paul is our only hope for America! God Bless you and my prayers are with you and your family Dr. Paul.

Best of wishes to the Dr. Paul family.

America's Braveheart,

God Bless Ron Paul,
and America

When Ross Perot threatened the globalists in Republican clothing, something happened to one of his family members too.

Real change requires a real revolution.

Bad fish sticks……Mrs. Paul. Now that's funny. (not that she is having a medical issue, I am a RP backer) That's just very witty.

Get Well Soon Mrs. Paul.

The folks from East Tennessee wish you a speedy recovery.

My best wishes to Mrs. Paul.

As an Independent, Ron Paul has my vote.

Hope all goes well for you fine folks in Iowa, and it is my hope that Ron Paul makes a good showing there today……..

HE IS NOT A LONG SHOT…

HE IS OUR ONLY SHOT

FOR A MORE PERFECT UNION OF THIS COUNTRY AS OUR CONSTITUTION PROMISES.

GOD BLESS CAROL AND RON PAUL.
MAY YOU FEEL BETTER CAROL!

Bad fishsticks?

I re-registered as a Republican from being a Democrat to vote for Paul in the primary. The only reason people think he is a "long shot" is because the media is instructed to tell you that. Regardless of how much he wins in the people polls – you aren't told what you aren't supposed to know.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope it is not serious. I am a supporter of Ron Paul, I hope he does well in Iowa's strawpoll.

My family's prayers are with you and yours this sabbath day Mr. Paul.

With your courageous leadership I know we can take our country back!

Sincerely,

-Nathan

"Ron Paul is considered a long shot…"

Would you care to identify WHO considers Paul a long-shot?

Or is that just the mainstream media bias for your designated front-runners, that we're so familiar with?

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife, Ron Paul. I hope Carol gets well soon.

You are the best candidate in the Republican field as far as I am concerned, a true constitutionalist. God bless.

Hope Carol's feeling better. My heart goes out to her and their family

Hopefully Mrs. Paul will be out of hospital by the time this is posted. I am voting for Hillary Clinton but I think RP makes the most sense of any of the Republican candidates.

I hope your wife is well and strong. And that you continue to challenge the crooks. BUT, unless you immediately support HR 333 I am afraid I will be an EX-Paul supporter

All of our prayers are with Mrs. Paul and her family.

Hope she is ok – RP is the only republican i like!

Paul represents the genuine change that this country needs, a free society with a truly limited government. He and his family have my unconditional support.

Word is she is fine, folks. Ron has appeared in Ames so we can assume that everything is OK since he said he wouldn't leave until he was sure she was all right.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I am a dedicated Ron Paul supporter and my thoughts and prayers will be with him and Carol that she will make a quick and full recovery. Of course he is with her, but I also hope he will do well in the poll. America NEEDS Ron Paul and the ideals he stands for.

All our prayers are with Ms Paul.

Wish her well. Get well soon Mrs. Paul.

My thoughts are with the Paul's and his family. I'm an Obama supporter who is impressed with not only Ron, but his supporters as well. A great bunch of people and I wish you all well during this time.
