Is it just me or does the future look very optimistic for Dr. Paul and his campaign?

[RileyE104]

I think it's safe to say that in Iowa, Ron Paul is currently sitting in first with roughly 25 percent.


In New Hampshire, he is battling it out for second place and at the same time his numbers have been steadily rising out of the mid-teens.

No doubt, in order for Dr. Paul to experience a big surge in this state...
It will depend on how things in IA go as well as how campaigning is done immediately after IA's election.


In South Carolina, his numbers seem to be headed towards the low-teens and in Florida towards 10 percent.
To me, the numbers for SC and FL aren't that important right now since virtually no effort has been put into FL yet and very little into SC.
However, I'm positive that we will see those numbers increase once IA and NH's elections are over with and the campaign actually starts to campaign in those states.


As far as national numbers go, I think it's fair to say that he has 10-15% of the vote as of right now.
Let's see how those numbers go after Iowa and New Hampshire... Hopefully they go to the high-teens at the least.


Also, take a look at the numbers for Nevada! www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/nv/nevada_republican_presidential_primary-1768.html
In this state, it seems Dr. Paul is headed toward the mid/low-teens!
I can only imagine how he will be polling there as soon as January is over...

It's good, but we're not done yet. Resume calling tomorrow, donate as much as possible, and if you live in a lead state, please help canvass. We must continue to fight like we're behind.

Yup! Campaign everywhere like we're far, far behind.

The think the future looks optimistic for both the Paul Campaign and the United States as a country.

Not to be a wet blanket, but 25% is not enough for Dr. Paul to win. The problem is the likelyhood of the warmonger supporters to team up at the caucus locations to prevent a RP win. We need 51% at the locations, I hope our GOTV works.

I agree we should be feeling good for what has been accomplished and looks to be, I further agree with Paulitics that we should operate as if we're very behind so we can surge forward

We are at the "then they fight you stage." Romney is the obstacle.

 

[RonRules]

It's now a two man race. With Gingrich, Perry, Santorum and Bachman all missing deadlines in several key states, we now have a two man race.

Paul needs to have much more positive stories and interviews ON RADIO as well as on television. He needs to convince more elderly people, particularly elderly women.

If that's done properly, we've got the nomination.

With Romney the VP (please hold your nose), we win the election.

No way RP takes Romney as VP. And I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I can recognize that a lot of people would be motivated to protect their gravy trains by removing RP in that kind of a circumstance.

I don't know if we can get past these newsletters

If he wins NH, we've got this in the bag. If he comes in second, we've got a decent chance, but a hell of an uphill battle to go.
Is this fair to say?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

now it the time to switch from base-building to coalition building. Will we Paulers let the campaign do that without freaking out?

With the internet and the "way back machine" you cannot erase information. The way to do this, (even though it's NOT Ron Paul's fault) is to stop bringing it up and instead bring positive information up the news queue. Just like forum messages that go down to the second and third page, most info is read on the first page.

We just need more positive stories about Ron and this revolution and broadcast it all over.

That just doesn't make any sense. Ron couldn't nominate a VP who's about 180 degrees opposite him on the issues.

this.

And if he did do you know how quickly the special interest groups would do their best to get rid of RP?

You must be new here

The newsletter issue will be cleared up soon enough, and keep in mind that they are bringing this up at a time when people don't care much for politics (the holiday season).

People are still going to vote for Paul in Iowa, and he might also surge enough to get a close 2nd if not first. Once that happens, these newsletters won't matter. There will just be too much support for Paul, and his supporters are able to aptly explain the newsletters.

Putting the newsletters in perspective, they really aren't that harmful. Ron Paul does not endorse the views, he does not agree with them, he has more minority supporters than other candidates, he holds the most anti-racist, civil libertarian positions, etc.

Exactly. If he wins Iowa, the opposition will know that the newsletters don't mean anything (which they don't.) The attacks will get much MORE viscous on other issues (military - defense) and no one will even remember the newsletters in a few weeks.
