Look it was a heated exchange--even reporters on the floor stated that. Now if Perry is going to BLOW his cool every time he is challenged by someone--including those that are not even a threat to this campaign race--I really couldn't possibly imagine how he would be as POTUS--even let alone being able to defeat Barack Obama in the general election.
Paul:we didn't have any cross words
You missed the point though...Ron Paul is a HUGE threat to the Perry campaign and the establishment. The establishment media would not contantly attack him, leave him out of polls (he was literally left out of like 3 internet polls yesterday), ask him only 4 questions in a two hour debate (and stupid, irrelevant, "trying to make him look like an idiot" questions at that), harp on about him being unelectable despite polling CONSISTENTLY in scientific polls (particularly Gallup and Rasmussen) in third place (statistically tied second with Romney), if they weren't afraid of him. Perry would not waste his time even responding to Paul's ad, much less attempting to attack him back and getting in his face at a debate. Paul is a threat, period, and his support is growing after that debate...

ahoy Cudorp,
i find Dr. Paul a charasmatic fella, in the same way that Woody Allan could be nebishly endearin' (imma thinkin' 'o Crimes and Misdemeanors). Dr. Paul seems like someone who be both bemused and exasperated at what he sees before him, strikes me as intelligent and slightly outraged at the lunacy he sees goin' on.
i don't really agree with'm on a number 'o issues, but he seems charismatic enough to me.
