Big RP bump!

[Once-Ler]

Ron finally has the presidential race down to a two man contest between him and McCain. It is quite possible he could break 7% in the next primary if he hasn’t already peaked.

That is a good point, Paul, love him or hate him, did manage to build a grassroots organization based on largely unpopular ideas that they stuck too and did not waiver from.

Whether that adds up to a speaking slot at the RNC Convention is another story, I would tend to doubt that as McCain and Paul were like Mitre and Vinegar...

Triple E will you add me to the Congressman RP ping list? Thanks.

[abigailsmybaby]

I’d take Ron Paul over McCain any day.

[trumandogz]

Where are all the Freepers that were claiming that Peden would beat Ron Paul by 20 points?

[abigailsmybaby]

Good. Somebody I can vote for.

Where did you hear that Paul was likely to be the CP’s candidate?

[NoWayMcCain]

There is a rumor going around that Paul is talking with Bob Barr about the possibility of a Paul-Barr 2008 ticket.

I supported Tancredo in the republican primary. But this wouldn't be a bad alternative to John McCain, though that's not saying much.

“Too bad. We need more CPA’s in Congress.”

Amen, and people in the press who have had a stat course!

Paul has passed the 70% mark now with 12% of the precints to go. I tried to get some of the Paul haters to bet me on whether they really believed he’d lose to Peden or not. Oh well, could have made some easy money. I still just do not get the hatred some have towards him. Are there that many ‘conservatives’ on here that nation building in Iraq defines them?

[Smartaleck]

“As opposed to a medical doctor who’s self-taught in classical free-market economics and is a Constitutionalist?”

Who is a fine man, but, like Alan Keyes has the political acumen and instincts of a one legged man in an Olympic 100 yard dash.

A loser who is right is still a loser.

[randomhero97]

They’re just as fickle as the democrap supporters.

[SecAmndmt]

Right, because CPA’s would really like to see the income tax code simplified. /sarc

[Salvation]

LOL! I thought we had heard the last of Ron Paul. LOL!

[SecAmndmt]

Sounds like a great Republican ticket, or Constitution Party ticket.

[LibertarianInExile]

“And that 5%-10% WILL make a difference in the general election, especially if McStain chooses a RINO for VP.”

ROFLMAO. “if!” You say that like there’s another possibility! I’m betting he will choose Huckabee. There’s zero chance he will choose a conservative.

[LibertarianInExile]

“It appears that Paul is going to run for his House seat and be the likely Constitution Party candidate for President.”

Where do you get that happy horse$#!#? He’s said he will do no such thing!

[LibertarianInExile]

I can’t stand McCain, but telling people Ron Paul will run 3rd party is silly. He’s said otherwise, and he’s no liar. Vote 3rd party if you want, but don’t malign that good man.

[Santa Fe_Conservative]

I don't think I doubted that he would lose his seat--the whole "could Ron Paul lose?" was some phony non-story made up by the Paul haters who really only hate him because his stance on a signle issue. Winning 70+ percent of the vote, doesn't sound like he was ever in trouble.
Funny, Goldwater correctly predicted that certain people in the right would make traditional conservative ideals look liberal.
