Regarding the thread's question. Here is a poll from a few months back.
Q1. Please tell me if you have ever heard of the following candidates for president and if you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of him/her?
Republicans Heard of Favorable Unfavorable
1. R. Giuliani 99% 63% 25%
2. J. McCain 97% 52% 35%
3. N. Gingrich 95% 54% 27%
4. M. Romney 87% 62% 14%
5. F. Thompson 83% 65% 7%
6. M. Huckabee 69% 48% 8%
7. S. Brownback 57% 33% 10%
8. R. Paul 40% 24% 22%
9. D. Hunter 32% 37% 14%
10. T. Tancredo 30% 38% 12%
So there you have it. 99% of those polled have heard of Giuliani. Only 40% have even HEARD of Ron Paul. Then compare favorability. Giulani is 63% favorable, Paul is 24%. Most people who've heard of Paul don't even have much of an opinion about him.
Paul has two problems. Large numbers of people haven't even heard of him and of those who have they don't seem to know enough about him to form a strong opinion. Paul's 22% "unfavorable" isn't a good sign either. Higher than the average candidates un favorability.

That doesnt mean they wont hear of them. Seems that atleast not all the media outlets can completely make him invisible to the masses.
BTW nothing you posted there means hes NOT the best candidate, unless of course if you are one of those special people we call Evangelical Christians who are having the second coming of the Christian crusades, trying to realign the middle east the way they want.
BTW if things keep going the way they are GFY will be gone from the internet within 5 years. bet on that.
