Ron Paul on CNN State of the Union (1/1/12) - 9am ET

[anewvoice]

HA, why do you hate civil liberties, when we come back, newsletters and running 3rd party.

How about one time a policy question, just once?

 

[PaulStandsTall]

He totally just woke up lol. Else he has a cold.

He gave a great monologue about civil liberties and how they relate to property rights when asked "WHY DO U SUPPORT JIM CROW LAWZ LOLZ??"

 

[IDefendThePlatform]

Total hit piece, but he is doing great! What a great response, and she didn't even interrupt!

+1

Her questions couldn't be more negative, but she's giving him time to respond and he's doing freaking great.

Flipping back to ABC. More newsletter questions.

Also excellent responses!

"Only 56% of your people say they are definitely going..."
"Haha, I don't think so. We have the names and phone numbers and we're going to get them out."

Ron Paul seems rather cool, focused, controled and confident today. This was a good interview. Hopefully he can keep this form up.

Is there new polling data from DMR that I haven't seen,. that was not released last night..

 

[unknown]

What poll did they just show? The latest DMR poll is here:

Ron Paul is in second...

Romney leads at 24 percent, Paul has 22 percent and Rick Santorum, 15 percent.

Campaign's on the ball.

Good interview. She let him talk and his answers were convincing.

Ron Paul sounds great on ABC, looks good, looks tan. I like how he admits that it was a publisher's flaw. He really got hit pretty hard, but
he did great. Santorum on Meet the Press just gave the Ron Paul earmarks answer.

 

[PaulStandsTall]

That poll is the joke half of the poll. The real, full numbers were 24% Romney, 22% Paul, 16% Santorum

DMR said they were seeing movement in the last two days of that poll, so they released the last two days as a separate (higher MOE) poll.

They can trap people who need handlers and focus groups to know what to say, but when Ron is focused, he can take them.

I look forward to a tube. I read the transcript of This Week and he was great there, from that.

 

[unknown]

Someone please link the tube so we can see that poll again.

Steve King just said "breast President of the United States" in his reply of his Ames Straw Poll interview.

Those last two days weren't good, or else when they called, Ron's people were out at Ron's rallies, since he was in town (sure as heck no one turned out for Santorum). In any event, he hadn't had a good opportunity to respond to attacks yet, and now has, and seems to be doing well at it.

 

[TheDriver]

Ron did good, but once again: he fails to use the time to contrast himself with Obama, and give voters simple "red meat" reasons to vote for him--in other words: he wasted another national TV appearance. If you don't understand what I'm saying, watch Doug Wead do what needs to be done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LfsP85mQoI
