I can't take credit for this idea, but listening to Ron Paul this morning on WBUR's On Point, I couldn't help but think of how much political blowback is helping the Paul campaign.

Between this Iowa brouhaha and the original Giuliani mess, it would seem that some of the campaign's biggest boosts are coming as a result of attempts to marginalize or mock our candidate. Dr. Paul stands alone against an authoritarian on national television? Campaign donations swell; web traffic soars; speaking invitations pour in. A political shill in Iowa excludes Dr. Paul from the forum? Same results.

So what is the answer for those who hope Dr. Paul will just go away? Apparently, the best of bad choices (for them) is to invite him to everything and treat him as a serious candidate. They're between a rock and a hard place. Lol.
