http://www.zimbio.com/Ron+Paul/articles/nvIPnV9j1-k/Ron+Paul+Tea+Party+Endorsement+Expected+South well.... some perspective... but shows we are not just wishfull thinking ; )

cindy25 · Jan 13, 2012

can he bring in the Sanford's?

bbwarfield · Jan 13, 2012

Sanford is actually listed as influential in this state.... more so to paul leaners. Despite his fall from grace most people loved his conservative views. He would probably be running if it wasnt for his hiking trip on the Appalachian trail on "hike naked day"

I now have Senator Davis following my twitter feed... anyone got a message they want me to pass on?

surf · Jan 13, 2012

didn't Sanford pull a Romney last time? and he says he can't while working for fox

see below

Ron Paul has been the only candidate stand up alone most of my adult life.... I'm just glad hes not standing alone anymore : )

me too

bbwarfield · Jan 13, 2012

i'm just hoping they are not getting us to hype up how great it is to be endorsed by him so when it goes to the establishment candidate we all go "who cares" which tehy will do once it goes to Paul. They know they need us to stay in the rank and file and more importantly they know we are more ideologically pure.... meaning we don't tend to be "whoever gets him is a true conservative" and then when he goes a different way scream "sell out"... he'd be a big thing for us.... but if Ron could sit in the living room with every american and talk to them that would be the best.... i don't care about the surrogates... Ron Paul has been the only candidate stand up alone most of my adult life.... I'm just glad hes not standing alone anymore : )

WHAOH a comment below the article says that the Herman Cain Forum is now officially supporting Ron Paul. I hit the forum website he linked and it appears to be true. Can someone verify this? Here is the post

"Mike Frank · Works at Self Employed Entrepreneur
As the senior admin of Herman Cain Forums now that Herman has suspended his campaign our forum hereby endorses congressman Ron Paul for President 2012. You can view our full written endorsement on the www.hermancainforums.com home page."

EDIT: I looked at the dates of the posts and it appears this occured in December, OOPS guess I missed that one. Everyone is entitled to one Rick Perry moment.

Why is the speculation that he will support Dr Paul and not one of the other......clowns? Has he said anything or is there a history? Please tell me so I can jump up and down

He has been praising Paul for the past few days and if you look at what his facebook says: "In the next few days, I'm going to announce support for the one candidate in the race for president who has consistently stood for taxpayers- one who has a plan to balance the budget RIGHT NOW."

Notice the word consistent? Plus Paul is the only one with a real plan, so... It is him, celebrate.

Good I hope others in my state delegation will follow suit.

schiffheadbaby · Jan 13, 2012

lx43,

can we email other reps and hope to win them over?

Do you know any in particular that might be willing to endorse?

Bergie Bergeron · Jan 13, 2012

Jack Hunter should be flooding the media since he's from SC.

jax · Jan 13, 2012

has there been any mention of this from the media? will there be when it officially happens?

Mick Mulvaney might be a good choice he was against the Real ID while in the SC Senate, but he doesn't agree with RP FP.

Learn more about him on his website Senator Tom Davis: Individual liberty. Economic freedom. Future prosperity.

Check out @senatortomdavis on Twitter.

People are excited that it's Ron Paul he's leaning towards because of recent tweets and retweets like:

Cut the crony capitalism. Politicians aren't investment brokers. Government exists to protect individual liberty.

Yes. Paul's plan to drastically reduce the size of government and increase individual liberty should be embraced by the GOP.

RT: I think Ron Paul is the only candidate that actually fights for the American people.

It could be Santorum, but …

“The Tea Party energy here in South Carolina isn’t around social issues, it’s around the size of government and fiscal issues,” Davis told The Fiscal Times. “And the attacks on Rick Santorum, it seems to me, make it difficult for him to attract that vote.”

— from Stop Romney Forces’ Last Chance: South Carolina

Couldn't be Mitt Romney:

I am not a fan of Mitt Romney's, but Newt Gingrich is way off base with this particular criticism.

Or I guess Gingrich for that matter.

I haven't heard anything about Rick Perry. Although he has taken kindly to Paul on some issues, he isn't exactly someone who's been advocating for sound money. Put another way:

"He [Rick Perry] doesn't speak in paragraphs, he barely speaks in sentences," said South Carolina state Sen. Tom Davis, one of the state's most prominent conservatives who is uncommitted in the presidential races.

The most telling clue? He retweeted:

RT @senatortomdavis: I just enrolled in a course offered by the Mises Academy on Ludwig von Mises’ classic work, "Theory of Money &... http://t.co/B6PS81AR

He doesn't just seem to be a supporter — he may be a true believer of Austrian ideas. I guess we'll find out soon enough …

PastaRocket848 · Jan 13, 2012

The story leaked this morning. He's announcing Sunday supposedly. I wouldn't be surprised to see demint follow afterwards. Jack hunter did write a chapter in his most we book and he's been talking nicely about Paul lately. No guarantee, but a possibility.

Davis is pretty much confirmed, though, unless the article was bs.

Santorum has changed his rhetoric... in today's townhall in Duncan, SC, sounded like he stole almost every economic policy from Ron Paul. Big crowd for frothy, even sniped @ Ron without mentioning his name and associated him with Obama on cutting defense
