Let’s Credit Ron Paul

November 11, 2007

All my life–and I worked in Barry Goldwater’s 1964 campaign–the media and good-government types have called for an end to negative campaigning, no personal attacks on opponents, and positive campaigns based on ideas.

So here we have a candidate who is “unfailingly polite,” as the NY Times puts it; who never attacks his opponents; and who wages an entirely positive campaign of ideas; a uniquely humble and brilliant gentleman of the sort even Hollywood has idealized; why have the media and goo-goo’s not credited Ron Paul for at least this?
