Gallup excludes Ron Paul from 2012 election poll

they also do not include Mark Sanford, Gary Johnson or Tim Pawlenty, but they do include Lindsay Graham for instance!
Wanting to like someone run does not necessarily mean one will vote for the person/politician. Palin will remain in the news in the short term, but IMHO she will be mostly more ignored doing her work as governor of Alaska.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for posting such a relevant peice of news. It is absolutely pertinent that everyone contact these generous souls and remind them not to be such butt-kissers to the Republican Party. The contact information is on the link below and that is telephone numbers.

Take a few minutes out and pick up your phone.

Happy Dialing!

Here's one from Zogby that includes Ron Paul: http://www.zogby.com/news...

"The interesting finding about Paul is that he is more popular among all voters than he is among Republicans, reinforcing his appeal as a potential third party candidate."

THEN YOU MUST DO THE SAME!!!

Here is a copy of my letter...

RE:Recent GOP Poll-You list every single Republican except the one who GOT OVER 15,000 Republicans to travel to his own convention in St Paul! He is congressman Ron Paul! Why did you leave him out? Did your "editors" tell you to? Dr Paul trounced Guliani in polls, Fundraising and results! He came in 2nd in the NV Primaries ,and spoke at our NV State Convention. Unless I hear from you, I will urge our group to put adds condemning your actions in major newspapers. We're part of The John Birch Soc., AIPAC, NRA and 100,000+ members who will be alarmed at your attempt to marginalize one of the finest Politicians , since JFK, Lincoln, or Jefferson. Looking forward to your reply and apology. Sincerely, NYR

via their contact form.

This might sound bad/sad... but unless we were to make ourselves super organized right now in all precincts and basically had significant influence over the party (starting within our own local areas), I don't think we'd have a chance if Ron Paul or another candidate like him ran in 2012.

After seeing how things worked this election, we've learned that money, organization, and connections, not passion or a good message, get you elected. I guess that's not surprising... but I feel like if we don't take the C4L seriously and give it our all, then we're already screwed.

By the time of the primaries I don't think Iraq will still be an issue... at least not as big of one... and if it is, it will be run by Obama/the democrats, and Republicans will probably not want to go back to it (I hope). I feel like Iraq was the main issue the main stream Republicans rejected Dr. Paul. Still, as a campaign we can't really compete against the establishment with simple tools.... which is why we have to get organized.

When I think back to the primaries I think about all the time I wasted waving signs when I could have been canvasing door to door, talking to voters, or attending GOP party events, making my views clear... If we do/waste our time like we basically did this last year again, then we'll loose. You could have $50 million for a primary campaign, but if you don't do anything but wave signs, or don't use that money to organize and be persistent and convincing to voters than you're doomed.

And furthermore, I sort of doubt people are committed/sensible enough to get organized and do what's necessary to win. It just seems like we all waste a ton of time doing practically nothing.... for example, the internet is an amazing tool... but doing online polls, talking online, etc. are worthless.... Using the internet to raise money and organize is helpful, but eventually you have to get off line and get out on the street. It'd be better to see zero people here on daily paul, because then we'd all be out working.... but again, I sort of get the feeling people will just do the same things again.

Let's get busy organizing to win our precincts.
