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

163 msm news articles covering the story right now according to Google news.
 
This part of the Rasmussen poll... "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. "

Made me think of this for a slogan...

Of the people ~ By the people ~ For the people
Ron Paul 2012
 
beck and coulter getting behind RP? are you people high? when the time comes and the primary heats up these shills will begin an all out assault on RP and prop up Gingrich or DeMint or more likely Romney. The establishment media is far too afraid of what changes would really take place if RP was a front runner. They talk about restoring liberty and rights but when it's crunch time they'd rather stick with biz as usual. Lets hope the tea party movement grows louder and larger and sticks to policy and principles avoids the MSM/Fox News takeover.
 
Seems like a good time to capitalize on all this publicity and promote H.R. 4995. ;)
 
Survey: Ron Paul even with Obama in hypothetical 2012 race (USA Today)

Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas Republican who struggled to crack 10% in presidential primary polls in 2008, runs dead even with President Obama in a new Rasmussen survey out today.


CAPTIONBy Gerald Herbert, AP

The survey of 1,000 likely voters in a hypothetical Obama-Paul race gave the Democratic president 42% and the veteran congressman 41%. Paul was particularly strong -- as you would expect -- among independents. He out-polled Obama 47% to 28% among voters who are not affiliated with either major party.

Rasmussen says:

Paul, a anti-big government libertarian who engenders unusually strong feelings among his supporters, was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. But he continues to have a solid following, especially in the growing Tea Party movement.

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 makes me so proud of everything I did back in 07 & 08.
I will wear my Ron Paul shirt to work today and ask everyone who laughed at me back then if they have seen this yet. :D

Statement of Congressman Ron Paul
United States House of Representatives
Statement on Introduction of End the Mandate Act
April 13, 2010

Madam Speaker, today I am introducing the End the Mandate Act. This legislation repeals the sections of the recently-passed health reform bill that force all Americans to purchase federally-approved health insurance plans.


Forcing every American to obtain health insurance is a blatant violation of the Constitution. Defenders of this provision claim the Congress’s constitutional authority to regulate “interstate commerce” gives Congress the power to mandate every American obtain a federally-approved health insurance plan. However, as Judge Andrew Napolitano and other distinguished legal scholars and commentators have pointed out, even the broadest definition of “regulating interstate commerce” cannot reasonably encompass forcing Americans to engage in commerce by purchasing health insurance.


Forcing every American to obtain a congressionally-approved health insurance plan is not just unconstitutional; it is a violation of the basic freedom to make our own decisions regarding how best to meet the health care needs of ourselves and our families.


Madam Speaker, the new law requires Americans to have what is defined as “minimum essential coverage.” Some people may claim that the requirement to have “minimal essential coverage” does not impose an unreasonable burden on Americans. There are two problems with this claim.
First, the very imposition of a health insurance mandate, no matter how “minimal,” violates the principles of individual liberty upon which this country was founded.


Second, the mandate is unlikely to remain “minimal” for long. The experience of states that allow their legislatures to mandate what benefits health insurance plans must cover has shown that politicizing health insurance inevitably makes health insurance more expensive. As the cost of government-mandated health insurance rises, Congress will likely respond by increasingly subsidizing health insurance for an ever increasing number of Americans.


When the cost of government–mandated insurance proves to be an unsustainable burden on individuals, small employers, and the government, Congress will likely impose price controls on medical treatments, and even go so far as to limit what procedures and treatments mandatory insurance will reimburse.
Madam Speaker, Congress made a grave error by forcing all Americans to purchase health insurance. The mandate violates fundamental principles of individual liberty, and will lead to further government involvement in health care. I therefore ask all of my colleagues to join me in correcting this mistake by cosponsoring the End the Mandate Act.

healthcare is a bs issue. the fact is both sides are not addressing the real issue= Insurance Corruption!! i have no interest in this issue after being railroaded by doctors and insurance companies. they can all burn in hell for all i care!!

we have to see attorneys tomorrow and we are forced in indigent care now thanks to greedy doctors and greedy insurance! i am focused on Colorado Politics,honestly careless about the federal government anymore. I just pay my slave taxes and try to focus locally!!

bottom line healthcare bill yes or no. does nothing to address the real problem greedy doctors and greedy insurance companies, that left us with 250,000 in bills while they made record profits!! f them all

I have more important issues like mortgage and not being homeless then the federal governments BS!!
 
This may be one of the most significant parts of the poll right here:

Similarly, 27% of Republicans see Paul as a divisive force in the party, while 30% view him as a new direction for the GOP. Forty-two percent (42%) aren’t sure.
 
OH MY GOD

I was chest deep in taxes and now this? There goes my productivity. I have to say it's put me in a MUCH better mood.

Amazing, amazing :)

I agree, absolutely. "New direction" is distinctly positive -- "divisive" is almost neutral. If 30% of the GOP considers Paul the new direction, that is absolutely huge.
