To phrase it more accurately: the general public perceives Obama to be a better speaker than they perceive Ron Paul to be, even if they have never actually heard Paul and never heard more than a soundbite of Obama. It's a pathetic and sad truth.
It is just one more incredibly insane and arbitrary box that has to be ticked by any major candidate; to be elected you have to be (rather you must publicly claim to be, no matter how much you die inside because of it) a christian, a full on "I believe in God for real" christian, you have to have one of two stances on any and all issues, a communist or socialist must never admit to it, nor shall an advocate of Austrian school economics admit to that. You must cry after you get caught with your dick in an assistant, etc, etc, etc.
