Well I looked at the Real Clear politics poll averages and Paul does indeed do better than everyone but Romney.
(”Generic Republican” is easily our strongest choice and consistently beats Obama)
I don’t buy for a second that Paul could win though. The newsletter stuff alone, tons of crazy statements. Obama running to his right on foreign policy and drugs (not weed, hard drugs). I have to say I think Paul would lose in a landslide big enough to jeopardize the congressional races.
It’s all irrelevant though since it’s not possible for Paul to win the nomination.
The Paul movement will put their hopes in Rand Paul.
I told you: Huntsman and “Former Rickness” are roadkill.
Paul does not think he can win either. He is not running to be president, hell his is almost 80, he is running to champion the idea of a small honest constitutional government. And in that he has my complete support. But looking at all the big government statests opposing him (except Newt maybe) I kinda hopes he wins.
"It’s all irrelevant though since it’s not possible for Paul to win the nomination."
This will be repeated as many time as possible in the next coming months. I think the real quote should be that "The Republican elites will never let Ron Paul become President"
I do not think for a moment that Ron Paul hates Blacks or Israel.
Unless Paul decides to run independent. Hannity was talking to him recently and could not get him to definitively say he wouldnt run as an independent.
I dont know if anyone knows what that would do. He’d pull the libertarians away from the GOP nominee, and we would lose voters...no question. But he may also pull some votes away from Obama too. Paul is very popular with the college-age kids who voted for Obama the last time around.
We’d be looking at an entirely different game. It would not really be an issue nationally, but he may get enough votes in swing states to tip the election one way or another. That’s the scary thing.
