We need to focus on seniors then. We get even with Romney on seniors and we could win this thing.

Well, SC tends to blowback over hard negs too, so be careful.
I agree. I don't care what state it is. The pollster is on the good stuff if he says gingrich gets 31% of the 18-29 group and only 19% for RP. Young people are starting a revolution and because of the internet are less likely to be brainwashed by the media. Gingrich does not offer young people anything. He is status quo establishment for big government and less freedom.
The best possible outcome would be paul 1st grinch 2nd and romney 3rd. This would strengthen ron as romneys main contender and would weaken romney.
I don't mind grinch so high in sc and florida because once this goes to nevada and the next group, he has no chance.

This looks pretty good. We need to out-hustle Santorum, and let Newt and Mitt pummel each other.
This is one we just want to escape reasonably unbloodied. Because, as the young kids once said: "It's Go Time" in South Carolina.

If Paul (or someone besides Romney) does not come in first in SC, the nomination is over. Period. You can't get enough delegates without winning states. And Romney will win almost every state and a huge percentage of the vote after SC, if he wins the first three states.

Electability wins.
Romney got 63% of NH voters whose number one issue was electability ("Can defeat Obama). Paul got only 11% of those.
This voter block made up 35% of the total votes. That means that 22% of Romney's 39% was based on electability compared to just 4% for Ron Paul. If voters would be aware of the national polls that have both Romney and Paul running close to Obama, the gap between Paul and Romney would quickly close.

Trying to get your post some new views. You are right imo. I'm southern and familiar with this mindset. Conservative southerners do not like draft dodgers. I imagine quite a few, upon hearing about that, will decide immediately to vote for someone else. It's not the hypocrisy of dodging wars and later advocating waging them when it's not their lives at stake that will upset them (that's what gets me). It's the act of dodging, of not serving, of neglecting your duty, of making excuses while others stepped up for you and risked their lives or died. Major disgust, like finding something foul on the bottom of your shoe.

You can't accuse Santorum of being a draft dodger....he was about 5 years old when the Vietnam war started.

I really wish there was video of a young, veteran Ron Paul. Would love to see if he talked the same and had the same mannerisms.

This is a sketchy poll where lots of the numbers do not add up.
For instance, there are 22 black people polled, and Romney got 1.7% of the black vote.
1.7% of 22 people is 0.374 people.
Also, Gingrich getting 31% of the youth vote compared to Paul's 19%? really?
Buyer beware with this poll and Insider Advantage in general.

Lol true. How do you get 1/3 of a person? Maybe it was a dwarf?
As for Gingrich taking a lot in the youth vote there, yea, i think its definitely possible (for now). Ya gotta understand, Ron hasn't been down that way much and people there arent too familiar with what he is all about. Since the time Gingrich spiked in mid November (ya know, because of his 'divine' debate skills
) he was at the top of all of the SC polls and in FL too. But since that time he has plummeted and hasn't done better than 4th so far in the first 2 states, because people are learning what a corrupt globalist shill he is, and all of his bitterness and negative character is coming out as well too. He has dropped a ton since those early SC polls long ago too, and will continue to fall even more. So i am sure that demographic will go farther down as well and go up in Ron's favor soon. Just wish there was more time, it really sucks how these things play out. I wish the whole process started as soon as the new president takes office lol, this way you have a 3-4 years of campaigning for lengthy amount of times in each of the first several states. Romney and Newt get high poll numbers in states they have barely been in (or not been in at all) based on 'word of mouth' and media pumping, and familiarity from last cycle (and Newt since he was a prominent figure in the 90s), so it's mostly all soft support, especially in Newt's case, proven by his multiple downward slides. Ron's message is a powerful one indeed, and the right message, but it is the kind that takes time to sink in and needs to be dissected more, since it's not the same ole vapor and hot air being spewed by the other empty suits. Its tough trying to change hearts and minds in 9 days

I'm very happy with these numbers. The campaign strategy is to let several other campaigns bury eachother in South Carolina. When looking at their spending vs. their poll results, that is exactly what's happening. They're spending tons of money with little result.
We can easily get somewhere in the top 3 here. I just don't see how anyone but Romney competes with us very much longer. And when those Goldmna Sachs Romney/Obama ads start flying, Romney will drop so fast he'll get the bends!
