Get Ready for the Ron Paul DEBATE SURGE

I think last night's solid performance will be worth 4-5 points in polling.

In other good news Santorum fell off 2 points in Gallup daily pre-debate. Last night should knock him back another 5 at least.
 
I was informed by my spouse, that three who voted for BO last time not this time.

One for sure voted for Ron Paul last night. Waiting to hear about the other two. AZ

This is backing up what I hear from my long time barber that many people are not going to vote BO.

I know it is all about delegates but, the surge just might be taking place. IMHO a win in WA and VA can blow this up.

Another person just found out about the track record of Rick and now is considering Ron Paul per my wife.
 
The great thing about CNN debates is that they attract GOP diehards AND liberal Democrats (typical CNN viewers).

:)
 
I agree we could see a surge. It's kind of sad but a sure way to get attention is to attack your opponents. We took off in Iowa after attacking Newt.
 
I've been listening to the same neocon station every morning on the way to work for the last few years and I have never heard any mention of Ron Paul until today. They actually played the "he's fake" soundbite from the debate as one of the highlights. There's something happening here.
 
A Ron Paul surge? I wish... This is the same media which has lied to us for so many years! :(

That said, if we SAY there's a Ron Paul surge... It might actually happen! It's not give up hope!
 
Why not a surge.

We have 5 choices with 4 being more war and spending, and one being less war and cut spending if we are to survive as a Country. One might not like all of Dr. Paul's positions, but, we know the other 4 choices will end up in us all being broke. Simple as that.

There are but a few trips around the turnip patch, before there are no more turnips left.
 
We can help the SURGE after Ron Paul's outstanding debate performance last night by Phoning from Home and by making a donation to the Campaign to show our support.

All future Money Bombs should have the title No One But Paul as part of its name.

After the February 14th $952K haul, the Money Bomb averaged $175K per day for the next six days. It has been the longest and most consistently successful Money Bomb in Ron Paul Campaign History. Not the largest, but certainly the one with the most staying power, 7 days no less.....
 
Ron Paul's performance last night was strong and aggressive, and he scored real hits on Santorum. It seems clear that this was, in terms of how the media has responded to it, one of the best (or THE best) debate performances ever.

At this critical stage of the game, with skepticism towards Santorum starting to surge, and Romney still looked upon poorly by many Republicans, and Newt gaining little traction in his attempt to reassert himself, we are in prime position for our polling numbers to pop after that great debate.

The key indicator should be this one: The Gallup Tracking Poll

This poll is the gold standard of election tracking polls, and their methodology is sound. Their exact numbers may be a bit off, but it is a four day rolling average, and so it certainly picks up trends.

The most recent numbers released today indicate Feb. 18-22 polling. That doesn't include today, mind you.

IF Ron Paul picks up more than a point tomorrow, i.e., if he gains two points or more in tomorrow's Gallup release, then we know FOR SURE that the debate had a HUGE impact and we must immediately seize upon this opportunity to try and rocket Ron Paul into a higher position.

Think about it: If Ron Paul picks up more than a couple points tomorrow on Gallup, that means that ONE poll taken TODAY has enough of an impact to transform the FOUR DAY AVERAGE by 20% (in relation to the rolling average) or more, meaning his actual support in that one poll is much higher than the average and even higher than the new rolling number.


So far, the biggest increases in support that candidates have gained have been for Newt and Santorum, Santorum after he won the Iowa caucuses and later after he won the three states, then Newt after South Carolina. In each case, the candidates at most picked up 3 or 4 points in the Gallup average on a single day.

If we, too pick up 3 or 4 points tomorrow, we know this debate had a tremendous impact and we might surge in our own way, perhaps up to the high teens nationally.


Look for it. I really think it's quite possible. I'm so thrilled that Ron blew 'em away last night.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on, and right before Super Tuesday makes it even more Prime
It's also prime time to feed the effort by donating time (in the form of calls from home et al) and money to the campaign so they can really push
our debate (and post debate interview, the MSM confirmed Ron is in 2nd place) performance into something even more substantive.

"No one but Paul" - Moneybomb. I like it.
