Copy/Pasted that article below....He is 100% correct. A Ron Paul announcement would generate HUGE media buzz and put the Repugnants on their heels.

Carpe Diem, Dr. Paul!by Mark R. Crovelli


Ron Paul’s stunning landslide victory in the CPAC straw poll is an event that cannot be allowed to go to waste. Political moments this ripe are about as rare as the California condor, and Ron Paul would do us all an incalculable service if he would seize the day, and declare his intention to run in the 2012 presidential election. He needs to do this right now. Not next month, not next year, but now.

Just imagine the effect that an announcement of candidacy would do for the Paulian revolution right now. As the only declared candidate for president in 2012 and the winner of the CPAC straw poll, he would immediately garner widespread media attention. Not only would he be the only declared candidate at the moment, but he might even be the only declared presidential candidate for the next eleven months. To have the field completely free of challengers and a fearsome grassroots electioneering and fundraising machine already in place is the political strategist’s Holy Grail. All Ron Paul has to do is tell the world he is running in 2012, and his entire movement will spring to life without any challengers standing in his way.

The fear and loathing Ron Paul would instill in the powers that be cannot be overstated. In their terrified stupor, the Republican leadership would search far and wide to find a sufficiently servile sock puppet to trot out to oppose Dr. Paul. All they would find, however, is a Mormon version of Ted Kennedy, an old man from Arizona who is clearly off his rocker, and a woman who can’t figure out what she stands for, besides war. The situation for Dr. Paul would only brighten if the Republican National Committee were to push for an early announcement of candidacy from one of these clowns. Indeed, the best possible outcome for Dr. Paul and the movement would be to force the RNC’s hand to pick one of these idiots sooner rather than later. The front-running idiot at the moment is the Mormon version of Ted Kennedy who loves socialized medicine. Life would be good indeed if Dr. Paul could induce the RNC to throw its weight behind a man who supports socialized medicine. That would ensure a Ron Paul run against Barack Obama in 2012!

The paroxysms of fear that would grip the Obama administration would be equally great, because Ron Paul is actually committed to ending our murderous foreign empire. Obama won the last election on the "peace platform," which was possible only because he was running against a crazy old man, hell-bent on even more war than Bush II. In such company, Obama looked like a "peace candidate." In the company of Dr. Paul, however, Obama can be seen for what he is; namely, a card-carrying member of the same war party that includes Bush II. If Obama knew at this early point that he could possibly be facing Ron Paul in 2012, he would have to start changing his perpetual-war policies right now in order to stand a chance against the real "peace candidate" in two years. Nor could he continue to indulge in his lunatic Keynesianism-meets-corporatism economic policies, because Ron Paul the presidential candidate would publicly expose it all as the quackery it is. Ron Paul is Obama’s worst nightmare in 2012.

Perhaps most importantly, however, is the hope that his early announcement would give to the American people. For, without Dr. Paul as a candidate in 2012, we will be left with only the most cynical and dreadful of options. We will be faced with a so-called "peace candidate" who is wholly devoted to war, and a mainstream Republican candidate who is devoted to war coupled with torture and assassination. We will be faced with a socialist incumbent, and a mainstream Republican candidate devoted to corporate welfare and succoring the military-industrial complex. Without Dr. Paul in the mix, these will be our only options: war + socialism, or war + torture + economic fascism. There will be no hope for freedom and peace.

The need is great for you, Dr. Paul, and the moment will never be so ripe for you to announce your candidacy. Seize the moment and awaken the slumbering revolutionaries who are waiting for you to say the word and give them hope in 2012. The murmurs and whispers that you might run in 2012 will give way to a groundswell of support that will make the very Earth tremble. Please give us what we want and need in the depths of depression and war, the hope that liberty and peace can still be attained in our lifetime.


RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012!

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012!

A Ron Paul announcement . . .
Yes . . . we'd love it.
But maybe the timing isn't quite right yet for the formal announcement -
FEC formal submission of candidacy papers for the 2012 Presidential election wouldn't be really until after the Congressional races in November.

Yet the buzz can still be out there unofficially as it certainly IS for the likes of Newt and the other possibilities . . .
but yes Carpe Diem!

Yes, this is a great time to seize some momentum from CPAC - make it an important win . . .
even if the ex-Governors Club of Mutt Romney and Muckabee and Parah Sailin' want to downplay the CPAC victory.

It is our time to put the pressure on them.

RP has a great "media" - as an elected official in the House of Representatives . . .
questioning the likes of Ben Bernanke and Hilary Clinton as he deems appropriate,
and introducing important legislation like H.R 1207 - the Federal Reserve Transparency Act.

Let the ex-Governors and the soon-to-be ex-Senator from Arizona get the pundits like Hannity
to give them interviews, while RP is at work - working for US.

Yes and then he can come out and say he has been drafted by a movement that is bigger than himself!

and then we are off to the races!

Honestly though, I think he wants us to remain focused on these 2010 races. It is my hope that soon afterward he will make an announcement.

we don't have any races in louisiana to support so the conference in new orleans is our way to deliver ron another few hundred media headlines and also help us pre-organize for the louisiana gop caucus in 2012.

How about a 25 million dollar "textomaticbomb". Just like Haiti but text, "Ron Paul 2012". The moneybomb has outlived is usefulness. Plus it will have DHS servers in a tizzy for a month thinking its a threatening new device.

I love the enthusiasm, but declaring the intent now would be a nightmare as far as the FEC rules go.....
