More positive exposure for Ron Paul
Looks like this was sent to a group of pro life people:

Landowners?
How about all TAXPAYERS?
Good exposure, Ron Paul did well!
However, it was very frustrating to watch those mental midgets interview a genius like Ron Paul. I'm hoping the average voter is smarter that that.
Busy Little Bees
This video brings one to conclude that there are a lot of Americans with such poor morals, that they intentionally meddle in everyone else's lives, be they foriegn or domestic. Yes, there are Americans who want our government to dominate us, and the rest of the world. In human nature, this is called blood lust.
Just a bunch of cluckin' hens

Dr. Paul received good exposure before even taking the stage
I am happy to see that the majority of comments regarding this appearance are positive. Perhaps your opinion of this appearance might improve even more if you watch the entire show. Dr. Paul received quite a barrage of positive exposure of his platform before they even got to their first guest.
Know your audience
Anyone that has ever done any public speaking knows that you must know who your audience is. It is also not easy being group interviewed. On both counts I feel Dr. Paul did extremely well. He came off as kind,passionate, and intelligent, but not arrogant. Qualities I'm sure his audience enjoyed. Being respectful and informative, while still holding his own on his positions, should bold well with American women. I think perhaps he may have enlightened some people on what Row vs. Wade really means, and why we do not need the federal government making these decisions. Bravo!
Not me
I'd never watched "The View" before in my life, and personally I thought it has one of the most inane pieces of fluff I'd ever seen in my life, but I could also see how it would appeal to other members of my gender. Obviously it does, because it's a popular show that's been on for years.
Ron Paul came off as patient, kind and caring, and I'm sure that scores more points with the typical viewers of "The View" than anything he actually said. I think we'll be seeing the success of this appearance for many months to come.
Dr. Paul got an abortion
Dr. Paul got an abortion question during the debate and handled the controversial question quite well. He explained where he stood on the issue. Didn't these women watch the debate? It was aired about six times on CNN. That Joy lady on 'The View' is probably a liberal democrat. She said she was pro-choice, but she liked Dr. Paul’s idea of bringing our troops home as soon as possible. It's too bad she did not start out by asking a question about bringing our troops home. Dr. Paul got all caught up in the abortion controversy. He doesn't need to answer any more abortion questions. There is not much he can do as president to change the current situation and it is not the most critical thing facing our nation right now. We are headed toward a police state, and now we have the Orwellian H.R 1955: the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 to try and stop. http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/29063 You might want to ‘google it’ to check out other sites. The traitors in the House voted to pass this 404 to 6. Now it goes to the Senate. We really need to mark every congressman and senator that votes for this traitorous piece of legislation and vote them out of their position. Anyway, I thought Dr. Paul did okay on ‘The View’, considering he had four women throwing questions at him simultaneously in a small span of time on a controversial topic. Dr. Paul does a much better job in interviews when he is being interviewed by intellectuals rather than people with only half a brain.

It doesn't matter
Sure, Ron Paul would have done better if the hosts had been intellectual and professional instead of inane and air headed, but consider the audience of "The View." Anyone who would watch that show on a regular basis is probably not interested in an in depth analysis of the issues. Ron Paul did what really matters: stayed patient and engaged the women in genuine conversation rather than lecturing or talking down to them. He came off as honest, kind and caring, and that scores points with the average American woman.
Thanks to the Veiw
Has any body flooded them with thank yous? I know we all asked for them to have Ron on, we should thank them for honoring our requests don't you think? If anybody has the address post it,

I wish he started his answer the way he finished
I know it is monday morning quaterbacking, but really I think Paul needed to start the whole conversation with abortion the way he ended it and it would have ended the discussion quicker and kept it more to the point.
He ended it by basically saying, look it is sticky issue that is difficult to reach agreement and on difficult decisions it is always best to answer it at the local level and that is exactly what the consitution requires us to do and what I would work to return us to.
Although that answer does not make everyone happy, it is not terribly offensive to anyone either and it is hard to continue to argue it.
When Paul tries to argue the details of whether it is a life or not, and whether it has rights or not, it sucks him into questions that are as he even admits are not the federal governments or the presidents job to answer.
I agree wholeheartedly. It
I agree wholeheartedly. It is a discussion of politics, not of morals. It was Ross Perot's answer to the problem too, and he came off very good saying it.
Ron handled this well
...and it generated some needed ink. Abortion is a very sticky issue and I think Ron Paul did a very good job explaining his controversial position (as they all are to somebody).
He demonstrates quite effectively that everyone draws the "life" line somewhere and since he is in the camp that feels humanity and personhood occurs very early than how could he not follow his principles that a person has inalienable rights.
Adroit and non-inflammatory positioning.
Of course the obligatory "you ain't gonna win right?" BS is to be expected from such a mainstream daytime show.
He DID handle it well
I bristled at Joy's "you're probably not going to win" comment as much as anyone, but it went over like a lead balloon with the other hosts and the audience, and she felt she needed to quickly back pedal on it. That was good to see, most interviewers don't get chastised immediately like that.
Mom loved it..
My mom saw this and said he did really well. I think she was impressed how well he handled for bitchy ladies! heh. Anyway, she asked me more about him, which was great. I've been working on her for a long time now.

Good to hear.
My mother in law watches The View daily.... but when I asked if he watched on the 4th... she said something about "I did not pay much attention to it the last 10-15 minutes, I was washing dishes"... and then suddenly, she had to hang up, and "finish up work" at home(hmmmm,been working on trying to get her to listen to RP... but, now , she's beyond hope... especially if she refuses to listen to her heros on The View. She alaways says those women are right..except for the last 10 minutes on Tuesday this week, it appears).
take care/not offense.
Land owners only anyone?
The main problem that nobody ever admits to is that simply too many citizens are eligible to vote. Land owners only anyone?
Just landowners?
How about TAXPAYERS? Your name says it all.
Good showing
He did his best to get through that abortion debate. But it still looked messy. The rest of the interview was good, he came out shining as usual.
Good exposure to a lot of women nationwide.

Ugh
There they go again, trying to instill people with the idea that Ron Paul can't win. People believe every poll, and every "journalist" on tv... It disgusts me. I wish people could just focus on who they like and vote for them, regardless of their so-called chances of winning.
Here's a better video...

Hmmm
These girls get paid a lot of money. But I have to say, I've interviewed Paul for an hour and they made me feel like Einstein! LOL

Watch the dec 1st CNN NH interview & questions. Paul goes into detail on current issues more there than he doesn't in his rally speeches.
