Ron Paul's position on the newsletters with racist statements that were published under his name 20 years ago has changed quite a since then -- in a 1995 interview with CSPAN, for instance, he was pretty proud of them.
Ron Paul furrowed his eyebrows before storming off completely during a CNN interview addressing allegations that he made money and won fame with the help of a sometimes racist series of newsletters back in the 1990s.

He’s got the best campaign organization in Iowa, hands down, and running second or third in the polls. But Ron Paul is rarely, if ever, described as a first-string Republican contender on par with Gingrich or Mitt Romney.
It seems like a hundred polls are released every day now that the Iowa caucuses are less than a month away. Here's our guide to which ones matter and why.

As the Republican primary heats up, that can only mean more ads. Which ones succeed? Which fail? We'll be reviewing them as they come out. Today Ron Paul scares us with some scary Newt Gingrich video clips.
Newt is back and climbing the Republican polls with a bullet. At Saturday's debate in Iowa, it's time to start imagining him as president.
If the Republican presidential candidate is to beat President Obama, he or she can't just win over Americans with the power of words or some bipartisan proposals -- there has to be a connection made on a deeper, gut level, even a hormonal level.

With 36 days left until the GOP's Iowa Caucus and 57 days remaining until the 2011 Oscar nominations are announced, the candidates and Best Picture hopefuls have begun to run together in our thoughts. Naturally, Ron Paul is Moneyball.
The draw of all these Republican debates is the chance to see how the candidates act unscripted, and Tuesday night we learned that under pressure, some forget their name while others spill state secrets.
The Republican presidential primary debates have shaped the race a lot this year, but mostly in one way: making candidates not named Mitt Romney look bad. Tonight they take on foreign policy.

As Mitt Romney plays down expectations, Newt Gingrich revels in his national momentum and Herman Cain finds his support slipping, the bellwether of all bellwether states, Iowa, is now looking at a four-way race: with Ron Paul gaining ground.
