I think he's right and there isn't another Republican out there that can bring in the youth vote like Ron Paul, which well could be Barrack Obama's Achilles heel.

So, we have 20%+ unemployment rate for youts ~ if Ron Paul starts selling red armbands to support his campaign, you'll know what sentiments he's tapping into.
I'd be afraid; very afraid.

I don’t think he can win. Is he right? ya, but when people look in to his views they tend to sour on him. Plus at 75 he’s going to look like the geriatric ward on stage with Obama.
To: Bokababe
Not impressed, I heard him on Laura Ingraham a few months ago. He’s gutless in the face of the islamists. The fact that Jesse Ventura likes him should tell you something.
To: Bokababe
He’s right that Obama has lost the Indie/Youth vote. I hang out on some forums where there a lot of young Libertarians. Some voted for him.....others not. But I can tell you....they HATE him, now.

Agreed. He sounds good for the first 5 minutes but then he always takes a detour into the twilight zone. I don’t trust him for anything.
To: Bokababe
Funny how conservatives are so divided that in their own demise they will elect o for another term.

There have been a few ballots where Ron Paul was my best choice...and so I voted for him. I’ll do it again if circumstances dictate.

Obama’s speech is at the cadence of a pastor's/preacher's,(it's uncanny for an unreligious person) and he's consistently calling our the population for it's faults and wrongs - this does not enamor the young voter. Plus there is no Bush/Cheney boooooogey man this go around.

I think he's right and there isn't another Republican out there that can bring in the youth vote like Ron Paul, which well could be Barrack Obama's Achilles heel.I think trying to win the mush-head youth vote is really just not much of a priority. Ron Paul gets the pot head and anti-war crowd, I don't think that is a conservative party's target audience.
No matter how Paul supporters and paulbots try to spin it, the problem is Ron Paul is a libertarian and not a conservative. His voice is welcome in the Republican party, but he will never even come close to winning a GOP nomination.
Ron Paul is our version of Dennis Kucinich. A niche subsection of activists truly love him, but the vast majority of the party simply reject his message.

Obama got 66% of the 18-29 year old vote last time, do you think that it will be less than 50% this time?

No president with two first names! Ever!
To: Bokababe
What is humorous about this is Ron Paul feels he has “qualities” that would attract the same brainless skulls full of mush who voted for Obama.
Then people come on FR and say Ron Paul is the answer to our conservative problems.
Too funny...

From what I’m sensing in the forums on the net.....he’s toast with the youth vote. JMHO, tho. The percentage...I’m unsure. I think it will be considerably LESS.

Paul and Gary Johnson can split the free market, surrender to the Islamists, pro-abortion, pro-drugs portion of the GOP vote. Is it possible to split one percent of the vote?
