Ron Paul Gaining Momentum in New Hampshire
Fri, 10/26/2007 - 13:14 newsdesk
October 25, 2007 -- St. Anselm College's Institute of Politics released a new presidential primary preference poll today that puts supposed "long shot", Ron Paul in fourth place among the 2008 Republican candidates with 7.4 percent. The survey of likely New Hampshire primary voters, finalized by SRBI Research in New York City, ranks Congressman Paul fourth behind Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain, respectively, and also shows that 40 percent of self-identified independents who may vote Republican, and 19 percent who will, are still undecided.
Fred Thompson, who is estimated to be second-place in the national polls, is in sixth place.
The new figure shows that Congressman Paul is gaining momentum in key primary states, up from the 5 percent Gallup Poll estimate on October 17. Recent poll results from Rasmussen Reports indicate that number could be much higher nationwide.

Ron Paul's ubiquitous internet hackers have clearly seized upon a new ruse -- insidiously spamming real-world polls with large numbers of primary-voting Registered Republicans!! Dashed clever, that...

I'm voting for former Vietnam Combat Flight Surgeon, and Leader of Ronald Reagan's Electoral Delegation from Texas: In 2008, I'm Voting for RON PAUL! |

"I got to know President Reagan in 1976 when, as a freshman congressman, I was one of only four members of that body to endorse then-Governor ReaganÂs primary challenge to President Gerald Ford. I had the privilege of serving as the leader of President ReaganÂs Texas delegation at the Republican convention of 1976, where Ronald Reagan almost defeated an incumbent president for his partyÂs nomination. I was one of the millions attracted to Ronald Reagan by his strong support for limited government and the free-market. I felt affinity for a politician who based his conservative philosophy on '...a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.' I wish more of todayÂs conservative leaders based their philosophy on a desire for less government and more freedom." Â Ron Paul, Remembering Ronald Reagan

Sound of Inevitability ping....
The Daily Ron Paul “Laughing Points” were posted earlier today.
You mean the ones like, "He'll never register above 5% in any real-world Republican poll"?
I'm laughing, all right. Hee, hee, hee.
Paul is many things but Reagan Republican ain’t one of them.
New Hampshire is truly irrelevant . Most of Paul’s support is from cross-over Libs, nutters , and Deaniacs .
Cheers ...
“self-identified independents who may vote Republican,” or, as I like to call them, “Democrats”.
HAH! Then why did Ronald Reagan himself select Ron Paul as the Leader of his Electoral Delegation from Texas?
Ron Paul was a true Reagan Republican LONG before claiming to be a "Reagan Republican" was Cool.
"Mom always said I was goin' places...
(just kidding)
Hey, I have a letter I received from the Kennedy White House back in 1962. Can I use that as proof he would want me in office?
Funny, spamming real polls? Paul is at 7% while Romney is at 32% in the poll supplied and we are to believe that Paul almost has the nomination wrapped up?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Will Paul mandate every American join him in the tin hat brigade?
Frankly, when I read the headline on this thread I smiled. Ron Paul did a fine job with his speech tonight on a delayed broadcast from Iowa’s Reagan Dinner. So did John Cox and Tom Tancredo.
Actually, this was a poll of Registered Republican likely-primary voters... and a good showing in New Hampshire will help us to move ahead in the later Primaries.
But that said: I don't really care who votes to elect Ron Paul -- just so they vote to elect Ron Paul.
The more leftists he drags away from Hillary, the better.
ron paul’s the black guy, second from right?
Where have you been. I was beginning to think you were beaten with a lead pipe and banished from FR.
Every Paul supporter I have seen carrying a sign or having a bumpersticker could pass for a circus sideshow freak. Nutterbutter city man, like loonsville daddyo...
Are they all certifiable or what?
All well and good, but Cox has always been an after-thought and it seems that Tancredo is winding down his bid.
That makes your boy my #2 choice, so congrats also to you and yours.
...an he still hasn't made it above 5% in a real-world Republican poll.
