McCain's mannerisms The scariest thing about him is his obvious seething anger. It is not difficult to see him repressing the anger as he speaks. Watch ten minutes of any debate where he is being challenged on one of his quotes, or even better, watch an appearance on one of the many talk...

SC will probably be a win for Huckabee, with a close second by Thompson; this could be reversed. That being said, I see Paul as doing surprisingly well in SC, and even better in NV.

Hume made it sound as if the rest of the candidates supported the response by the Navy to this incident. However, I didn't hear that at all. Huckabee's comment about Iran seeing the "gates of Hell" and Thompson's response about 72 virgins is hardly a passive response as Hume had suggested...

I'm sorry, but this proves nothing. So, the Boston Globe mislabelled the columns. Beating this dead horse simply undermine legitimate claims with better evidence. The issue of voting machines with no accountability and paper trail is a very important one, as is the practice of outsourcing...

It is not time to give up, but I think it is reasonable to ask hard questions of the campaign. Hillary and her ilk have done so, and it has paid dividends. Other campaigns have as well. It's not giving up to ask more of the campaign! At least for me, I am committed to seeing this through...

I don't believe it. When I talk to others about Ron Paul, I often need to explain just who he is and what he stands for. The policy wonks know about Ron Paul, but many voters do not. However, of those I have spoken to about him, often the response is positive. I am not willing to give up on...

Not true - I used to work as a fundraiser/phone worker for the Republican National Committee as a third party contractor (working for a third party contractor). It's not too expensive! Depending on the purpose of your calls and your call frequency, you can get the price down to pennies per...

3rd party is an awful idea. Why? Three reasons: 1) The most important reason is that Ron Paul has stated many times he will NOT run as a third party candidate. With so much scrutiny on his integrity, this would only serve as a hammer with which everyone would beat him over the head. I can...

To win... Concentrate on the basics. Call supporters, take them to the polls, and get the message out. Of course, this requires spending money! The campaign needs to spend some of its cash to move up in the polls. It's that simple. You cannot buy the entire campaign (Romney showed us...

I agree with many of the posts here. I'll make it very simple and succinct: SPEND THE MONEY WE DONATED AND GET THE MESSAGE OUT! The message will sell itself as it is presented to the voters in a professional way. Ron Paul's campaign will be able to raise all the money it needs if it shows...

She may have meant John Moody - his bio is linked below. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,2132,00.html

Don't worry folks -- Huckabee's campaign will fizzle out. I am certain that if the Republicans run Huckabee, there will be a Democrat in the White House in 2009. Perhaps that outcome will wise up the Republicans who support folks such as Huckabee, but hopefully it won't come to that, and this...

Caucus Activity I agree on what has been said about being ready to support Ron Paul. What has the HQ been doing on this front? It should be a major focus, as it is often where the rubber hits the road. Considering the high number of independent voters in Iowa, compelling speeches in favor of...

I am pro-life myself and support Ron Paul, and I don't see that as a contradiction. Liberty begins with life itself: "...Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..." It's no accident that life is the first word in the sequence. Ron Paul could do a better message of underlining his support...

Next Steps I agree that Ron Paul needs to do reasonably well in NH, given its penchant for fielding outliers (e.g. McCain, of course). Also, NH has a disdain for taxes not seen in some places. Expectations for NH are high for Ron Paul, and rightfully so. Thankfully, he recognizes his appeal...
