Now let's switch to the states capitol right up Columbia, South Carolina where Ron Paul is right now congressman good to have you.

Thank you -- good to be with you how important is this state for you.

Well it's it's very important does not do or die you know we expect to pick up some delegates as we have continued to do -- and we'll continue on.

You know it's interesting you it it is a proportional.

Vote up -- along the way -- proportional vote.

Even if your second or third certainly nothing wrong with that you've been very very consistent.

You could amassed quite a few delegates whether or not you've got an.

And certainly have a powerful -- west.

-- now I don't you I see about that moment.

But let me ask you about this process and the extremes.

You've seen the leaders.

Go up and down.

Now I was been recertified.

So Santorum one -- Romney South Carolina where Romney was winning he might lose what's going on within your party.

Well I don't think the message is very clear I have a very clear message from challenging the status quo the rest of the candidates.

Are part of the status quo and nobody seemed to be happy because they don't see what what difference they're going to -- So there are numbers coming -- but if you look at -- you know there was one time not to think -- ago.

They -- that we had a significant group of people that were interest in what I was doing and having a precise definition of what government should be doing.

But the ceiling was always eight or 9% you know -- he's doing okay but -- -- this a ceiling.

But now other than the ceiling shifted about seventeen or 18% now -- conceding you know it's over 20% in if you include independents and Democrats.

Our percentages are much better you know not too long ago there was a I -- -- where I was up against.

Obama and I was equal to Romney and that shows it but have a lot of supporters and I -- I -- and Democrats you've been a remarkable phenomenon but I think you're like a sort of a pin Rodney Dangerfield you don't get any respect.

Does that bug attack and then -- -- I think a lot of people think that certainly challenge -- thinks.

You know there's this whole idea I mean if you let me tell me you know from this last debates -- I did rather well.

And I they went down the number of fun times they mentioned the other three candidates.

In the review of the debate.

Anyways you know -- like 8090 times depending on which it was.

I was mentioned one time in all the discussion.

Of the debate after it was -- different.

Now.

You might argue I didn't win her some people argue that I didn't you had to do unless you have visited a lot of what mansion on all the stations wherever it's that is all I thank you -- if -- what's going on.

I'm very well you're not just an immediate business I'd like to though it's hardly notice how that.
