I came away thinking his talking points are great but get him off those and there's very little there. That describes nearly every single politician. Bill Clinton comes to mind as an exception, and no doubt there are a few others, but not among the anointed GOP candidates. This lack of depth and intellectual rigor does nothing to dissuade major news outlets from sticking a mic in front of nearly anyone or discussing them as serious contenders. Reporters have decided that Paul is never going to get the nomination so they don't bother. Anyway I'd love to see that Paul interview if anyone has a link. I'm curious about "bamboozled by questions on the gold standard" and "hardly coherent".

Can't find it. I can find a number of ten minute interviews with him -- this one has him discussing the Fed with an expert, and I don't think he showed well. http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1359402302 http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1359402302 This is 15 December 2009, and it isn't "almost half an hour", and I don't recall the details so much as my impression of the guy's thinking. They've had a number of long interviews with him. 17 May 2010 -- http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1496298429 http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1496298429 27 April 2011 -- http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000018858 http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000018858 31 May 2011 -- http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000024836 http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000024836
