Ron Paul Wins Debate but Republicans Won't Gamble on Him

Ron Paul clearly won the Republican presidential debate last night held in New Hampshire. Viewers were asked to text in their thoughts on who won the debate, Ron Paul received 34%, Giuliani 17%, all others lower. Fred Thompson who did not appear at the debate was clearly the largest loser as his pro-war stance and republican hard line talking points seem to be not what the people are looking for.

Sean Hannity, Fox News pundit, was clearly upset with the results and deliberately ridiculed Congressman Ron Paul. Although outpacing all other candidates by a 2-1 margin, it was clear that Chris Wallace and Brit Hume had tones of sarcasm when talking of Ron Paul. Giving absolutely no credence to Cong. Paul's responses, they even cut off his answer in a heated exchange between Paul and Huckabee, then declaring that Huckabee won the debate on that point.

Ron Paul demonstrated last night that he is the only Republican candidate that gives any thought to issues and his answers, all others gave stock replies and mostly followed the party line.

I watched that debate--the first full one I've bothered watching this year. Ron Paul did not win by any stretch of the imagination.

He is sincere, fiery, and speaking his mind in a bold fashion. He is also wrong, and has no chance in hell of becoming President.

All this says to me is either that more Ron Paul supporters watched the debate or they were the ones most inclined to participate in the poll.

You're probably right. But that also says that the other candidates don't have very enthusiastic supporters.

Heck, I’d of thought even a casino addict wouldn’t gamble on a nut like Ron Paul.

He won the poll. That's what the article was referring to.

These Pauls guys remind me of the Fire Ants in my yard. You thing you have run them off and they just keep popping up somewhere else.

This is both hugh and series!!!

Casinogamblingweb.com is the only endorsement that I put any stock in at all.

(If I promise to vote for Ron Paul will they give me the guaranteed winner for Monday night’s game?)

I think someone bought 10K on a 100-1 odds of Ron winning and they are trying to cover their bets here...

Yes, Paul has thought about his answers, and so has every other person on that stage.

The difference is candidates like Paul, Tancredo, Hunter and Brownback are saying what they really believe. For that, one doesn't need to rehearse.

Meanwhile, Romney, Giuliani and McCain all practiced saying their responses in many different ways, maybe even polled a few focus groups on which way was best. Fred Thompson will be just like this too whenever he debates.

And this “win” means....what? That the anonymous texters that sent in responses are better connected than the real America?

I would not even know HOW to send a text message. How do you even get one typed in on a home handset?

I’m strongly suspicious of who his supporters really are. This anti-war “pull our troops out now” cult like following is just a bit too weird to be all Libertarians. I would think even hard-core Libertarians can see the error in turning tail and running away from this war “now”.

I think many in the ranks of his supporters are really from the loony left, anti-war crowd, who have not been able to latch on to any of the Democrats yet. And most of these I think are just getting a kick out of trying to upset the GOP Apple Cart.
