Pittspeed Politics - v. GOP/DEM/Primaries/Ron Paul

SP71Supra;648896]not that I have anything against him by any means, but can he even win?[/QUOTE]

he got 3x the vote of Rudy 9/11 in Iowa, ran neck and neck with him and Huckajesus in New Hampshire.

Two “mainstream” candidates, supposedly. He doesn’t stand a HUGE chance of winning the GOP nomination, but I dont think that he really wants to anyways. It plays much better for him as an independent. Imagine Romney or McCain or Huskajesus win’s the nomination and Obama or Hillary get the Democratic nomination.

There will be ton’s of Republicans that hate their nominee after their candidate loses. Their choices will be vote for a Dem, and a black one or a woman at that… or RON PAUL. Same thing on the Dem side. Imagine an Obama/Clinton ticket. A woman at the helm and a black man one bullet away from it. So if you’re a Dem and you cant vote for them, and the other option is a pro-war or a Jesus sucking Republican, RON PAUL is looking like a damn fine choice.

He is hugely popular among independents. Took over 21% of them in the Iowa primary. If he can score big with the independents, and can steal enough from the Dems and Repub’s, he could VERY MUCH WIN. Especially with his level of grassroots support and HUGE fundraising success.

And don’t pay any attention to the racism stuff. This has all been circulated the last time he ran for Congress 10 years ago or so. It’s all horseshit and is only being brought up now in the media because of his strong showings in Iowa and New Hampshire. The media has treated him like TOTAL dogshit. This is just another notch in their belts. Kudos to Jay Leno for having him on the tonight show to allow him the forum to talk since he got blacklisted from the Fox News debates.

How am I not surprised?
