Ron Paul Polling Match-Ups With Clinton, Obama

I personally have stopped all my subscriptions to papers like the wall street journal, time magazine, and several others in "protest" to their slanted coverage of U.S. and world news. my thinking is why support the very people who are selling our country out. I find the internet to be invaluable for staying current with events which are shaping my life in the 21st century.

This is wonderful. Most people, given a choice between a name they've heard of, and one they haven't, will pick the familiar name, even if they don't particularly like them. The Democrats are not focussed, yet, on the Republican contenders. All we have to do is make him a household name to raise his numbers.

That, and hope people learned their lession voting for "Bush."

And not even yet. Republicans and the primary come first.

Dr. Paul's 20 years in Congress should be very reassuring to those scared to vote for a maverick.

"Paul is viewed favorably by just 20% of likely voters nationwide. Thirty-eight percent (38%) have an unfavorable view while 43% are Not Sure what to think of him."

We know that as people get to know Dr. Paul, they like what he stands for. So, when the 43% gets to know him, I predict that at least 60% will like him. So, that would give him a 55% favorability rating and make him very competitive with Hillary and Obama.

I see this as good news. They must be starting to look at Ron Paul as a serious candidate now. This gets him even more name recognition.

The elections are 14 months away. Who cares what the numbers are today? Now, if the elections were to be held this coming November, that would be a different story. But it is just too early in the race to pay attention to this stuff.

We must not be distracted by trivia--which this is. We need to keep calling, emailing and showing up for Dr. Paul. That is the only way he will stand a chance of doing well.

This is a weird presidential race. With respect to the classic litmus test issues (abortion, guns, taxes) there are candidates on the Republican side that many Republicans just cannot vote for. I don't see why Romney and Giuliani are polling so high because a lot of Republican primary voters would refuse to vote for these people based on the abortion issue and others based on the gun issue.

There are also many Democratic candidates that also fail to meet the primary voters litmus tests. Edwards, Richardson, and Dodd on gay marriage. Hillary and Edwards on the war. So I don't get why these people are polling so high.

Either the polls are seriously flawed, or the people are seriously misinformed.

With that said, I think a lot of Democrats will cross over and vote for Paul in the primaries because of the war and his stance on corporate welfare.

But just remember that usually only 55% of the voting age population votes in any presidential election. I'm counting on a large portion of that 45% being disillusioned voters and turning out for Ron Paul, since I'm one of them and I know of more than a few people that are like me.
