It’s possible, but I have to tell you that I am seeing more and more Ron Paul signs in yards and bumper stickers here in the small town I live in. They are in nice yards, in nice middle-class neighborhoods - some of them I recognize as having had John Kerry signs in them during the last election.

Is it possible that Ron Paul is striking a chord with a lot of people that are just sick and tired of the status quo? I realize he has a lot of the loonbat support, but the houses I see that bear his signs are not those of drugged out hippies or skateboard dudes.

There’s something going on, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I have met may people excited about RP, in all honesty I believe they have never actually heard anything he has ever said, they only hear what other people who have never heard him say he says.

DING DING DING DING! We have a winner. You hit the nail right on the head. A lot of people are sick and tired of the Democrat/Republican cycle.

Does Paul have enought support to win? No, probably not. Some folks like his message. I agree with maybe 70% of what he says. Sadly, the nominations were set in stone moths ago. Its going to be Hillary v Rudy. Rudy will end up winning. I dont see much of a difference between Rudy and Hillary.. except on maybe 2 or 3 minor issues..

The voters are in foul mood toward both parties, a regular funk.

The time is ripe for Ron Paul. We've never had this chance before and an election year in which the circumstances were ripe for such a breakout from a candidate like Ron Paul.

It's a truly unique election year. If I believed in such things, I'd say the (political) stars are in alignment.
