I agree that it's a sad day when a fine candidate like Gravel has to lower expectations. The same can be said of other candidates that the media is ignoring, like Dennis Kucinich. I am encouraged, however, to see that all the attempts by the media to silence opposing views have not worked in Ron Paul's case. Although I would be more likely to vote for these Democratic candidates, when I see Ron Paul standing up for many of the same issues, trying to give the power back to the people, I feel like I need to support the message, and I truly believe that Ron Paul has a good chance of winning. When our primary comes in March, I'll be voting for Ron Paul. He has gathered a large number of people who wish to preserve our Constitution, and if we stick together, we can defeat those other candidates who would take our freedoms. My hope is that one day soon, elections will be a decision between the better of two good men instead of the lesser of two evils. I wish Ron Paul had another such worthy opponent who could really offer a substantive debate in November, but it's Ron Paul or none at all.
