A response to a blog post on The Daily Paul that criticized host Adam Curry for questioning the motives of Ron Paul advisor Doug Wead. Despite the criticism, the hosts conclude that Wead's deep ties to religious funding are beneficial for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, especially given the high costs of securing signatures in South Carolina.

The hosts analyze the emergence of Doug Wead as a senior advisor for the Ron Paul campaign. Given Wead's history with the Bush family and high speaking fees, Dvorak suspects he may be part of an intelligence-linked "blocking strategy." The theory suggests Paul is being used to prevent other candidates like Newt Gingrich from gaining traction against the "knighted" frontrunner, Mitt Romney.
