Drudge - Shock Poll: Obama 42%, Ron Paul 41%

[specsaregood]

Wait, how does RP lose to Obama... when RP beats Obama by 20 among independents?
... basically because the republicans didn't commit to RP as much as democrats committed to Obama. If that happened - republicans "coming home" to RP, then RP would have had a significant edge.

Not "republicans", but the "political class" of republicans.

Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.

This is so epic, I've pissed myself like three times already.

New screencap for posterity:

Edit: That is the most epic picture I've seen of Paul in a while, and I've never seen it. Maybe Drudge had it tucked away for a special occasion?

 

[Johnnybags]

But the country club repukes will do anything

to stop that. Paul is already being marginalized again. Repukes would rather a DEM win again. Ron should take the Constitution party route and we get him on the ballot in all states. Rename the Constitution party the Tea Party and the heck with the Romneyites and Palinites.

is it a pic from SRLC ?

that looks like the lecturn from the SLRC speech. Notice high mic placement some were discussing.

Going to have to set aside $200 out of tomorrow's paycheck for moneybomb to get on the track for a full $2,500 outlay next year.

 

[brandon]

So what do they define as the "political class"?

 

[itshappening]

Get saving for moneybombs but i'd argue getting Rand elected is really important

imagine a Sen. Rand Paul helping his dad

Look how many new people were brought in during 2007. (I am one of them).

Think how many more we can get next year and 2012.

That's why I think Ron will run.

It'll be worth it.

Wow....Now imagine the actual Republican talking heads got behind him the way they bless Romney and Palin. Paul would be up by 15 points by 2012 if the noise machine got the sheep loving him. Feeling good, not an Ann Coulter fan but even she mentioned she "agrees with everything Paul says except foreign Policy matters, but with the Wars winding down she would back him in 2012..." Now Palin breaking the ice by endorsing Rand. Also, a lot of celebrities that I think were scared to go public last time will not let the opportunity pass again, Imagine Palin, John Mayer, KRS-One, Mel Gibson, Bill Maher, Coulter, Naomi Wolf, Thom Hartmann, Mike Gravel...maybe even Chomsky and other Socialists solely for his foreign policy ALL sounding the horn for our man. Now that's diversity! God, can't wait for 2011. Hopefully a few NEW sitting Congressman as well.

Make sure you click the link so Drudge knows it's popular!

No more moneybombs- textbombs

are the new wave. Someone needs to set it up that knows how. Just like Haiti but maybe 20 bucks on your phonebill. We need to reinvent the wheel again.

 

[..PAUL4PRES..]

Will the GOP listen up? Thats the question.

 

[tmosley]

Well, my mid and long term outlook for this country just went from 0 to 60%.

With this knowledge, we blow away every bit of that "unelectable" BS. This puts him toe to toe with Obama, and miles ahead of the rest of the republicans.

Looks like the Tea Parties were a good idea after all.

If this keeps up, I might stop construction on my doomsday compound and put the money to productive use.

 

[DirtMcGirt]

After reading this headline, I guess all RP supporters can get out of their hibernation basement dwellings for a few minutes today; stretch and get some exercise...

 

[amy31416]

I'd be truly shocked now if Ron doesn't run.

I'll be brushing off my RP '08 signs and changing it to '12.

Makes sense to me. A growing number of people are not happy with the change Obama brought. At the same time, most people still cannot bear the idea of another Bush neocon in office. The Liberty movement is the only choice by default.

 

[KramerDSP]

I knew it! We HAVE to hammer home the fact that ONLY Ron Paul can defeat Barack Obama in 2012!

 

[Spider-Man]

Everybody get your Ron Paul 2012 signs ready for the Tax Day Tea Parties.
