Is this the beginning of a hockey stick, highest RCP poll average 6.3%

I think in next weeks polls we will be around 20% huck at 30% and mccain at 35%.

Plus many undecideds to go after.

Can't wait to see the graph take off, and the attacks on mccain get ugly from both sides.

We just need a good showing the next few days to help.

Optimism is absolutely necessary to keep moving, staying motivated... Don't discourage eachother, and therefore yourself....
Sorry if I sound like a smartass, but you know...it's true... Psychology and sh*t...

To get a smile and better outlook, simply surf as a lurker on the neo-con sites and notice the panic/disbelief/reaching for gag-bags.

They ALL are waking up with a bad taste in their mouths and realizing what just happened to them(brainwashed without their knowledge) and what may still happen if they follow the leader over the cliff of doom.

Works for me.
That and knowing all of my children(15~30+) KNOW what is going on.

Hey don't bogart! I'll take a hit of that too!

 

[AisA1787]

we already have the stick, we just need the blade

 

[AlexMerced]

I'm a pretty optimistic guy, and always find the shining light in my blog. I just enjoyed the OP's post., lol

We just might take off friends! But definitely a win or 2 tomorrow plus a great day on Tuesday can fully ratify our momentum. Cross your fingers, we might see a comeback and at what time of the campaign! So, for those of you who were ready to unscrew the cork off that expensive French champagne, thinking that you beat freedom hands down once again! Ha!

It's just because the MSM started covering Ron Paul right after Super Tuesday, with apologies, on the front cover of cnn.com, etc.

Couch potatoes are finally hearing about Ron Paul.

 

[wgadget]

And because many Republicans are feeling pretty suicidal right about now...

 

[mtmedlin]

double toke and pass the water it came through!

 

[colecrowe]

He is polling up to twice that already as an iNDEPENDENT.

Jeez, get you heads out of the clouds or your asses, either one.

Go to www.RonPaulWhitehouse.com and pledge to show your support for the most amazing statesman this country will have had for who knows how long (JUST IN CASE).

BUT

I admit, and am happy to do so: There is no reason to think we need to go iNDY until we see what happens between now and March 4th. He MIGHT start stomping McCain based on low voter turnout due to apathy since the media has 110% called it for McCain, and based on how horrible a choice McCain is and how much he is getting lambasted in on the air and in print, and at the 'watercooler'. Especially as Iraq of course continues blowing up and the economy gets worse. Here is my proof:

Thank you for your generous donation of $100.00!

Contribution received!

Thank you very much for your donation to the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign.
Your donation will allow us to expand and grow our campaign.
We depend on donors like you to help us spread the message of freedom, peace and prosperity through Ron Paul’s candidacy.
You will receive an email shortly with a confirmation number.


But after March 4th...

I'm out if in a month's time he continues to win 0 states and still has less than 15% support and yet refuses to go iNDY (I'll still write him in and spread the word, make calls, etc., but I probably won't donate anymore, and I'll be very sad).

Well, I can safely say...if donations dry up....Paul will be forced to call it quits, so please continue to DONATE.

http://www.ronpaulwhitehouse.com/

my dad said he'd donate another 500 to Paul (IF he announces 3rd party) (he donated 200 on Dec. 16th--but that was when it seemed like he REALLY could maybe, possibly win the Nom. I would donate 500 the day he declares (even though it will hurt financially), whereas I can't afford to give anymore (I gave just over a 1,100 in Q4 to the cause--so shut up) for his Republican run; and gramps would probably wager another 1776.00

The 2nd and 3rd tier, broader-base of supporters aren't (many or most of them) going to donate MORE--if they already have once--because TO THEM it is obvious or at least nearly certain that he's not going to get the Nom from the Republican party (I'm not saying I believe that--but they DO). However, they would be very willing and enthusiastic about supporting him in an iNDEPENDENT run.

Also being an eternal optimist I can't help but thinking (to myself, of course) that we just need ONE BIG ONE for people to be like.... OH, it's okay. He won a state. We can vote for him now.

 

[RonPaulFTFW]

Gosh i hope so.

it's been a tough week for me.
