PPP: Ron Paul now second in Iowa

[nate895]

But Romney is looking extremely difficult to beat in NH. If Romney drops out, Ron's chances have to go up.

They just move to some other NE liberal. That's all. There's usually only one NE liberal in the campaign because that's the only way they can win.

With Romneycare, I doubt his campaign is still around by the time of the NH primary.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

Favorable:

Paul; 55%
Romney; 55%

Unfavorable:

Paul; 17%
Romney; 25%

Ron takes the lead by convincing people he can win and running TV ads where he looks "presidential".

I think Romney should stay in. He'll take most of thr vote of people who wouldn't vote for Ron anyway, doesn't appeal to socons ad he's damage enough by Romneycare, gun control and abortion that he won't win.

 

[TIMB0B]

His hair would run without him and still poll top 3.

Pfft. Damn American Idol voters.

I'll vote for him and I want him to win. I sincerely believe it is up to him to do that at this point. We have to do what we can to help him, but, in the end, the burden is on his shoulders to get the voters on his side. He is the candidate, not us.

Holy shit dudes, we're gonna do it!

I really hope Ron kicks it into gear; I hope Rand takes an active (as much as he can) role in leading the campaign.

If Rand's model is looked to, Ron Paul will be the next President of the United States. If it isn't, he won't win a single primary. I believe it's that stark.

I completely agree. Ron needs to run a mainstream, professional campaign.

Agreed, he has to hit home on the national debt(this includes the Federal Reserve and economic issues) and foreign policy, almost exclusively, and find a way to bring these points into every political conversation he encounters, as these are his popular sticking points with the electorate. His positions on these issues can also appeal to Conservatives, Independents, and Liberals.

He should hire the best people from the 2008 Huckabee campaign.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

No Cain in that poll. Has there been any scientific poll (i.e., not Gallup interactive) since the debate with Cain included yet?

It's called: "Someone else/Undecided."

I completely agree. Ron needs to run a mainstream, professional campaign.

It ain't looking good at the start (heroin, really?) but hopefully Paul will. It's too golden an opportunity to throw away this electoral chance just to make some political point that will be lost on most people and quickly forgotten.

 

[PermanentSleep]

who would have f-ing thought Ron Paul would be at 15% anywhere?! This is just awesome news. FRONT RUNNER.

+1 woohoooo!!!!!@#$@#$

Ed Rollins is a good campaign adviser. He has done a tremendous job in every campaign he has run, even Huck '08 considering where Huck started. I don't know if he'd be willing to help Ron, but he'd be a good person to look to.

Oh, but that means you want him to lie about his beliefs. /sarcasm

 

[Agorism]

We just the smallest amount of momentum to put him into a clear second in these polls.

Early momentum is key I guess

Whoever ran Rand's campaign should suffice, no reason to beg for beltway insiders to run the campaign. Doing so would also run contrary to Ron Paul's image as the perennial political outsider and anti-establishment candidate.

It didn't harm Huckabee's image as a down-home outsider when he did that, but Rand's campaign advisers would be good as well. I'm not loyal to a person in that regard, I just want someone who knows what they're doing.

I don't know...his hair is looking thinner and greyer.
