This is true of pretty much all political races. It's more or less a popularity contest and then "See what I said? Well, I can't deliver."

The thing I like about RP more than any other politician is his honesty. Like that debate where someone asked if "Obamacare" would get repealed; he basically said "In theory, yes. In practice, probably not. But we can do whatever is possible to neuter it by moving almost everything to the state level."

That is and always has been his goal. Were I American, I would vote Ron Paul, and if he weren't an option, I would vote Democrat.
