This still isn't anywhere to be found on any of the major news sites...not CNN or Fox...I remember when Cain and Gingrich rose to the top it was the biggest news anyone had seen. Not even on HuffPo.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank you so much everyone that has worked so hard to get us to this point! Keep up the work especially now, can't lose this momentum!

I've been having some medical problems in the family since last month, so I haven't been around...but this is great news to return to, it certainly has cheered me up!! My mom and I watched the ABC debate and were sooo hopeful. When it was over, I wondered to myself, "How could his poll numbers NOT rise after this?!" Sometimes I wonder if I'm too partial, but I'd like to think even I had a head as thick as a marble-top counter, I'd somehow figure it out that Ron Paul was the only honest person on that stage.

Keep sending all of that positive energy (and dollars if you can) to our future president!!

Save for Drudge. This needs to get on the MAINSTREAM sites...Yahoo, Google, CNN, FOX...some people have never even heard Ron Paul's name still.

I haven't read through the whole thread but I think the best news is actually in the pdf where it shows who they voted for last year. Only 8% of the people polled voted for Paul in 08' so I would say we are actually higher then what this poll shows !
Q14 (Among Republican caucus goers) Did you
vote for Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Fred
Thompson, John McCain, Ron Paul, Rudy
Giuliani, or someone else in the 2008 caucus,
or do you not remember?
Mike Huckabee 32%
...............................................
Mitt Romney 18%
....................................................
Fred Thompson 11%
..............................................
John McCain 20%
...................................................
Ron Paul
8%
.........................................................
Rudy Giuliani
4%
..................................................
Someone else 1%
.................................................
Don't remember
7%

Believe it or not I think this is a good thing. Cain started getting hammered when the media started making a big deal about him. I think the media not recognizing us as a possible nominee is going to work to our advantage for the time being.

Do you think there are more college students in Iowa on Jan 3 or on Dec 3? (It's easier to get the kids to vote if they're living in dorms, but)

The way I look at it, having the caucus during winter vacation allows us to have more volunteers and boots on the ground to help get out the vote.

Agree -- the establishments plan backfires.

And they will be caucusing in home precincts and can get their parents to join them.

So, since Paul is doing well, do we like PPP now?

I think PPP was the 'last' poll to come to the party

 

[bluesc]

Yeah, we love them.

Anything positive to say?
