The latest poll shows him at 4% for New Hampshire - with Ron Paul polling at 11%.

And over 70 percent of Paul's NH support is coming from people who identify themselves as liberal (over 50%) or moderate (just under 20%).

I just had a woman admit to me this morning that if Paul hadn't run, she would be voting for Obama or Edwards, in that order.

Tell me how one makes THAT leap if Paul is in fact conservative?

The vote of the stupid count as much as the vote of everyone else.

“And over 70 percent of Paul’s NH support is coming from people who identify themselves as liberal (over 50%) or moderate (just under 20%).”

Just think - Paul would seriously damage the Dems in the general election.

He also would hurt them more as a 3rd party run than the GOP according to your stats.

Can you cite a source btw?

It's an interesting question. My answer would be that Paul is libertarian, and many libertarian ideas have appeal to all Americans. I'm not talking about Libertarian Party ideas, I'm talking about the basic libertarian ideas that you have a right to make a living, keep what you earn, and generally be left alone if you don't harm anyone else.

I'm a Paul supporter, and my second choice is Fred. If neither is nominated, I'll likely vote third party or write in Paul, or possibly Ralph Wiggum.
