I'm celebrating with Billy Bragg singing "All you fascists bout' to lose!"

Anyone listen to limbaugh or other talk radio?

I wonder if they're talking about it. I can't stand to listen to them myself though so I won't be finding out unless someone posts it.

PPP just found Bush trailing Obama by 2.

But CNN just found Romney trailing by 8, Huck trailing by 9, Gingrich trailing by 12, and Palin trailing by 13.

The Not Sure votes tell us all something. That LOTS of people out there do not know what Ron Paul stands for or even know who he is.

And so it begins.....

Well, guess I better get back to work then..

I wouldn't be surprised if this poll itself tips the scale in favor of Dr. Paul. I think it's fair to say we'll be able to gain at least another percent just because of this publicity.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I'm afraid to get my hopes up, but they're hitting the roof anyway. :o

Standard War Party of the Left rhetoric on this poll seems to be, 'Well, Rasmussen is obvious the Fox News of polling organizations.'

this thread has phase-shifted my sense of reality for the much much better better.

Oh happy day!
He has to run now. Start thinking about a money bomb.

We have indies on our side.

Heck, we even have a sizable chunk of Dems.

We need to sway the neoCons in our favor. Tough task, if you ask me.

Well in that case the real results must be 10 points higher

This raises the obvious question: will the Pauls be the next political dynasty, like the Kennedys and Bushes?

Paul's son, Rand, is a strong contender in Kentucky's open Senate race. A Rasmussen survey earlier this month shows Rand Paul beating all potential Democratic rivals -- although first he needs to win the GOP primary.

Change is definitely in the air.

This is just awesome!!!!!!!

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.

RP should capitalize on this attention right now and announce the formation of an exploratory committee.

thanks for sharing that! Great title!

Great Day. My heart almost stopped. I would take this poll over CNN any day.

Copy and email everyone with this day in history.

One of the things I kept hearing was yes, I like what Ron says, but he isn't electable.

Show them all he sure as heck is catching on I tell ya, and is electable if people vote for him. This gives much more time to get the word out so people will not be afraid to go ahead and vote for him and let the chips fall where they will.

The GOP has to be puking right now. They had better do some real soul searching with these numbers.

It sure should help the local Liberty candidates.

How many relatives, that gave people grief and didn't want to hear more about Ron, need to see this one and reconsider? Do it nice like did you see this? Let their mind do the soul searching.

32 % do not know how they feel about Paul, only six did not know who to choose. I'm wondering how that 26% chose. Anybody know?

 

[yokna7]

"SHOCK POLL!" lol!! I think Matt Drudge is the only one shocked.
