GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul, surging in Iowa just two weeks ahead of the Hawkeye state’s famed caucus, could also get a lift in New Hampshire from undecided GOP voters who seek a straight-talking candidate, Granite State voter Deborah Bouchard-Smith told the Herald.
But her husband Ken Smith’s objections to Paul’s tactics and platform suggest the primary rollercoaster ride is far from over. The Herald is tracking the undecided Smith family as they make their choice in the heated Republican primary.
“When listening to Newt Gingrich talk, I feel like I’m listening to a politician. But when I hear Ron Paul talk, I feel like he’s talking to me. ... He’s someone everyone can understand,” said Bouchard-Smith, a small business owner, wife and mother.
Paul passed former House Speaker Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to become the front-runner in Iowa, according to a poll released by Public Policy Polling yesterday.
Ken Smith, a Portsmouth city councilor, said, “There are a lot of people like our family who have not made a decision yet and the tide keeps changing because everyone is taking a look at all the candidates.”
Smith, who opposes Paul’s stance on legalizing pot, added, “We’ve seen so many of these surges.”

It must be some hypnotic power with his eyebrow. That’s all I can figure.

Alex Jones! Bilderburger!
Who knew that those like this mom were crazy as well?
I am trying to be civil in this debate, but you won’t let me, you commie snot-filled maggot pig.
I am the victim here. I am the victim here. Remember that.
Thank heaven it’s never seemed like he was talking to me.
The Boston Globe must be thrilled to be talking about a Ron Paul surge. After all, they’ve only wanted what was best for the Republican party and America for the last thirty years. /s
LoL!
This is why women shouldn't have the vote.
Interesting that the reporter didn’t feel like mentioning any of “husband Ken Smith’s objections to Paul.” We are left to wonder what they might possibly have been. Clearly either you are for Ron Paul, or you are against moms.
“We’ve seen so many of these surges.”
We’re confused! Who is the flavor du jour?
Oh please won’t someone tell us?
He did mention Paul’s position on legalizing pot.
Every time I go to the polls I think of sap heads like this and despair at their shallow, weak minds.
It’s a dilly of a pickle of a national dilemma.
I’ve seen that whole series and they’re all great. LOL
Yes, but that Ron Paul has exactly the same position on legalizing heroin? No? And he hated him anyway? What is this world coming to! Listen to your mother and vote Paul.
It's just that I always hate what he's saying
