DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican Ron Paul, a leading contender in Iowa’s presidential caucuses, said Monday on the eve of the leadoff 2012 vote that he does not envision himself in the White House.
The Texas congressman, near the top of the polls in Iowa, said the odds of him winning are slim and admitted that the path to the nomination was unclear without a strong performance in Iowa and the New Hampshire primary next week.
When asked Monday during an ABC News interview in Des Moines whether he sees himself in the Oval Office, Paul replied: “Not really, but I think it’s a possibility.”
He added: “I don’t deceive myself. You know what the odds are. The odds have been slim.”
DON’T YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN CANDIDATE. I guess ole ron is more in touch with reality than his followers.
I quoted this from your previous posting:
And I responded:
Are you capable of posting anything without being insulting or inflammatory?
Then, you respond by quoting Ron Paul? Do you not recognize which of your two sentences above I was referring to?
Do you not realize what you are doing, or do you just not care? Or now that your preferred candidate has been handed his hat, are you just lashing out at anyone that dares to challenge you?
DON’T YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN CANDIDATE.
Ron Paul is not "my" candidate, and neither is any of the other assorted fruits and nuts that are running for the Republican nomination this election.
However, there's no excuse for the circular firing squad going on between Republican candidates and especially Republican voters.
What really disgusts me -- even more than you and people like you -- is that the Republican party leadership couldn't recruit a decent fiscally conservative candidate to challenge the least popular and least competent incumbent President in my memory.
