Looks like Ron’s name is catching on :>} The GOP usually fairs well when it runs on a conservative platform. If the GOP wishes to keep the Oval Office Ron Paul would be the best conservative for the job. A Ron Paul campaign may well help usher in some needed strong conservative leadership in both houses as well.
Among non-members, it was Paul 33%, Romney 30%. Well, Friends Of Ron are a busy bunch on the Internet. Heh-heh. I guess we won't take our poll too seriously since we FReepers know that online polls can be "FReeped".
Mitt Romney 36.7%
Ron Paul 23.3%
Duncan Hunter 18.8%
Rudy Giuliani 8.1%
That's an excellent point. If the GOP wants to have the backing of conservatives, they must rally support from conservative independents and third party activists who vote for candidates on position and record.
