DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican Ron Paul, a leading contender in Iowa's presidential caucuses, said Monday on the eve of the leadoff 2012 vote that he does not envision himself in the White House.

When asked Monday during an ABC News interview in Des Moines whether he sees himself in the Oval Office, Paul replied: "Not really, but I think it's a possibility."

He added: "I don't deceive myself. You know what the odds are. The odds have been slim."

I know Paul is a thinker and is honest so I shouldn't read too much into it...

Wrong thing to say.

Oh come on. Tense matters!

Challenge accepted Ron; we can beat those odds. Nothing worth having comes easy!

Media spin. Probably quoted out of context like usual.

Tomorrow in the news:

Paul wins in Iowa, but he and his supporters seem to be giving up

Just watch.

My interpretation is he wants to stay under the radar and win Iowa then take it one state at a time so the MSM doesnt pile on

One month ago Newt was claiming to be the nominee and he is fading to black now. Over confidence and under confidence dont make a difference.

His national numbers aren't the hottest.. but lets win Iowa today, then take on the rest of the nation tomorrow

Stop listening to the media. They flat out put false quotes in Rand's mouth in KY to derail and deflate the grassroots. Don't put it past them.

 

[angrydragon]

I thought we were in it to win it?

 

[AngryCanadian]

Wrong thing to say.

I agree.

Yep, how many times does the media have to be caught lying before people stop taking what they say at face value?

Ron Paul never wants to sound over confident. We're up against a tremendous establishment which is clear to anyone whos not delusional.

But as hes said repeatedly, he used to run track and he's gonna run hard and he is.

Make no mistake about it, we're making history.

 

[hammy]

GUYS. Ignore it, move on, fight harder. We don't need this right now.

When did you all start trusting the media?

LET'S GO!

Move it to HOT TOPICS.

Iowa is binary.
N.H has a gap to close.
Virginia has two contenders
on the ballot. He's
going to Tampa.

odds are one in four.

This was already on Hotair all night long. I saw it earlier but didn't bother posting it.

Having said that it's not really a secret as it's on most major blogs at this point.

Mitt Romney or Ron Paul takes on Barack Obama.
