P.S. Ron Paul refuses to release his tax returns!
Nope
Is this a news article or wishfull thinking on the part of the Monitor staff?
I cannot understand why Christian Science has survived but the paper is actually sort of interesting as long as you read it knowing there is falsehood in the Christian Scientology
*snort*
Now that’s funny. Most Texans I know think Paul is nuttier than squirrel crap.
No way, Jose!
Will Ron Paul Pick Up Many Of Rick Perry’s Voters?
Only the ones on drugs.
If Perry had enough voters to matter he would still be in the race.
I am amazed how naive most writers are about endorsements. There’s no thinking on the part of Perry or Newt that Perry’s endorsement is going to magically translate each Perry supporter to Newt. It’s not about that.
It’s about timing, and this was perfect.
It’s about momentum, and with that, Perry’s kind words might impact undecideds, left over Bachmann folks, or squishy Santorum voters who were debating whether or not to switch to Newt.
Further, it could harden support from squishy Newt voters who also liked Perry.
In other words, it is sheer shallow lazy thinking to contemplate this in terms of “the Perry 5%” or whatever. The impact might be much greater, or much less, than that 5% when it’s all said and done.
The premise is stupid. Why would people who support a reasoned person go to a member of the lunatic party.
Now this is like asking ‘Will it snow tomorrow in hell?’. Sometimes I just think some ‘journalists’ are simpletons and whether that is the case or not they certainly thing most of us are. Ok Paul and Perry are both elected officials from Texas and both served in the military. They share some of the same ideas on the size of govt but I don’t know ONE Perry supporter for who Paul would be their first choice now that Perry has dropped out and I know many of them some of them who were a part of the campaign from the beginning. I’m sure there may be a few just like I’m sure that some John Huntsman supporters went to Newt and Santorum. Some voters are eclectic and when talking with real voters sometimes its a ‘Dear God experience’ similar to the shows where a camera is shoved into a passer by’s face and they offer their humble ‘reasoning’ for supporting a candidate and you realize that all the well thought out reasons and arguments for supporting such and such that political gurus dwell over are like a fly in a hurricane for many voters.
At 2% or so it won’t matter one way or the other regardless of have the fall.
If I had to bet I’d bet Newt gets the lion’s share of Perry’s votes on Sat.
Not this one. Yes, Governor Perry was my guy. I believed that he was the most qualified and conservative candidate in the race. I will continue to follow Governor Perry in my support of the man he wisely endorsed, Newt Gingrich.
With Perry gone, that leaves only 3 candidates who have had only one wife and has (as far as we know) been faithful to that one wife.
