It will all depend on how independents respond to him (people that voted for Obama and now realize he isn't really that different than the other candidates). If those people decide Paul is their guy now media won't be able to drive his numbers down (they just won't grow). My biggest concern is how quickly the Neo-Cons are rallying to Romney, they maybe able to destroy any chance RP has of having a good New Hampshire showing (I think it's fair to Say Paul is going to win big in Iowa). Pesonally I would enjoy a Romney vs Paul race for republicans because it will really show the differnce between a status quo Neo-Con and those of us in the Republican party who want our party to focus more on states rights and independent responsibility. |
I want Ron Paul to get traction, because I want to see what Fox News talking head types, and the Newscorp talking head commentators (like Rush) do, if Ron Paul ends up as the Republican nominee. Will then end up telling everyone to vote for Obama to back their neocon foreign policy views? Hey, I got it, Fox News gets behind Trump, who decides to do a third party run for president.
Well, that and also I happened to work on Ron Paul grass roots stuff in 2008 locally where I was, paying for a Meetup group, getting a venue, and so on... I did actually get to be in the same room as Ron Paul back in 2008 down in NYC at a fundraiser.
