Lmao I was just about to post this. Is anyone here planning on working for his campaign?

It's looking pretty good the more candidates there are. If Carson runs, even better. Cruz really needs to stay in the Senate and be the leader.

wow -- looking good. lead has increased!

 

[Crashland]

Field is still as wide as ever, but it's good to be at the top regardless!

 

[Crashland]

Maybe we should send to Drudge, see if we can get it on there

He's a sellout. #CantStandRand

Care to provide an alternative? Or do we prefer to be the underdog all the time because it is hip?

Where does RCP average say Paul is in the lead? It doesn't.

the poll was actually conducted 2 weeks ago but it looks like it was just made public in a CNN article today

Sent to Drudge (go to lower right)

If a bunch of us all submit, it will increase the chances of him posting this with huge positive exposure.

Only takes a minute, please do this people!

But he's not doing so well in the Iowa polls. That needs to be fixed or he could be finished out of the gate. Although he is winning in NH which will help a lot.

I'll definitely be volunteering.

Um, and Cruz would be a terrible majority leader in the Senate. Even the older conservatives like Coburn can't stand the guy. For a contrast, Robert Taft was at least as principled as Cruz, but actually was collegial and was willing to work with others. That's why he was effective as a leader while still being "Mr. Republican".

Who can we work with in the Senate? Most of them are bought out. I'm very happy that Cruz is unwilling to compromise at this moment.

Peaking too early... we only have one way to go.... expectations need to be managed

21% with Independents and only 8% with Republicans. Getting Independents to register Republican in states that only allow registered Republicans to vote will be very important.

It is interesting how closely the RCP average and the CNN poll align.
