I don't think its the Christian right that is his problem. Every Christian straw poll I've seen taken (from places like Family Research Council and the like) put Ron Paul as the winner every time.
The people that don't want Ron Paul as the GOP nominee are the Republican and Democratic party cheifs that don't want any change. Every time an ideologically differing candidate is out there, they squash them. The media is in on it as well. During the debates, he gets less air time than most other candidates, despite polling consistently in 3rd place. They rarely ask him questions, as they know he's going to say something that most of America agrees with.
Ron Paul frightens a lot of people because he's an independant voice. I know liberals, conservatives, Christians, and atheists that would gladly vote for him. That scares the power bases, because it'd usher in paleoconservatism/libertarianism which would utterly destroy the liberal/conservative dichotomy.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
