A Ron Paul Surprise?
If Rep. Ron Paul is #2 at next month’s Iowa straw poll consider the Republicans in total disarray. It would be a sign that conservatives aren’t thrilled with any of the candidates (not even Fred Thompson) and choose Paul to protest. The only reasons some candidates see the straw poll as a “pseudo-event” is Romney is so well organized there and Giuliani and McCain didn’t catch fire. Tommy Thompson wouldn’t be the only one pulling the plug. Romney, Giuliani, and Fred Thompson would have to re-evaluate their approaches to Republican voters.
I don’t see Paul doing well at the straw poll. Paul’s campaign so far has been fueled by internet addicts and a face-off with Rudy Giuliani (the mayor got the applause). He had more cash on hand than Sen. John McCain, but that’s because the ex-sailor spent like a drunken one. There’s a big difference between stuffing an online ballot or digging a story and showing up in the flesh for an event.
“Ron Paul, Mitt, and the Ames Straw Poll”
Why did you diss Ron Paul as an internet stuffer
thats not true while you look at the so called
scientific polls of 300 people when they half the time do not include ron in the polls.Ron won all debate polls by large numbers and has over 23,000 members of meetup. That is actual people
meeting to promote Ron Paul. At the recent Iowans for tax relief repub. debate it took 6 candidates to get 600 attendence when it finished Ron Paul had his rally in the room next door and drew 1200 with no standing room WHO SHOWED UP IN THE FLESH. I think you need to do a little more journalistic investigation before you call over 20,000 people a bunch of internet stuffers if it was not for the msm establishment and the neocon right wing who are not really republicans have you seen their spending really neocon=socialist he would have millions of supoporters which is why they try to keep him down cause the warmongers are scared they will not have that free ride of the Tyranny
we all as citizens have to live under anymore
