University Of Tennessee Students Explain How Crazy They Think Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Are

Which GOP candidate do University of Tennessee students consider the craziest? Or has the best chance to beat Obama? Reactions are all over the map.

One student claims that the ideal Republican candidate would be the offspring of Rep. Ron Paul and Gov. Mitt Romney. Another considers former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to be a “bad person.” Some students think Mitt Romney’s leadership and experience can defeat President Obama, while others disagree.

The ranging opinions across UT’s college campus echo the national division within the Republican Party. With 58 Tennessee delegates up for grabs in the Volunteer State’s Super Tuesday primary, it is possible that the four Republican presidential candidates could split the delegate count proportionally.

TN is the third poorest state in the country and red. I went to and graduated from a private college in TN during the time Clinton was running for president. Our economics professor had us debate the candidates economic policy. I was the only student that wasn't a trickle advocate. Lucky for me, the economic professor wasn't either and he was a Democrat. If it hadn't been for that, I'd still be traumatized. It was unbelievable.

The guy that said Romney is credible because he can win a deep blue state needs to do a bit more studying... Actually it's not that big of a deal. Does he not realize Romney had an upper edge because he used to be the former Governor and someone who continues to be popular because his health care mandate is actually working well for the state? He should know that people in Western Massachusetts tend to be more conservative than the East (think Boston) and that there has been a relatively good and balanced mix of Dem and GOP MA Governors (like the 3 GOP before Romney)?

These students must attend a crappy college. They think Ron Paul is crazy? I think the NDAA, Patriot act, and 16 trillion dollar debt is crazy.

You'd have got more intelligent comments if you would have interviewed a gang of mating baboons.

God help this country. If they are paying for their education then some of them need to ask for their money back.
