The Debate is at 9 PM to 10:30 PM EST on Fox News.

I planned to start a new thread on this, but this thread seems to be a good fit. We are exactly 10 days removed from the four-year anniversary of one of the greatest politicial moments in U.S. History.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDND5tcUFoI

This moment began the rise of Ron Paul and the Ron Paul Revolution. Before this moment, Ron Paul was getting 1% nationally in the polls, and virtually nobody knew who he was or could recognize his name. 10 days removed from four years later, Ron Paul is a household name with 80% name recognition. He is polling 10% nationally, and is the leading fundraiser. Of anybody in the GOP field, he does best against the sitting President, according to the latest CNN poll. His son, Rand, is the Junior Senator of Kentucky, and Ron is the first House Representative in the history of the United States to serve at the same time his son is serving in the Senate.

My question to the forum is whether anybody will attempt to challenge Ron Paul. If there is a challenge, who will it come from, and what will the allegation be? My guess is that either Pawlenty or Gary Johnson go after Paul and try to steal some of his thunder. I suspect the allegation will be that a President Paul would not have captured Osama bin Laden or made the United States safer. RP will then talk about his proposed Letters of Marque and Reprisal in 2002, the TSA, the endless wars, trillions of dollars, billions in aid to Pakistan, and so forth. I hope to god that he slightly rehearses some of his soundbites.

It is certain he will use the "foreign aid takes money from poor people in rich countries and gives it to rich people in poor countries" and "constitutional foreign policy".

Koz
05-05-2011, 04:09 PM
Do you think we will hit 1 mil by the start of the debate?

I hope RP goes in there like a warrior, although the neocons Pawlenty and Santorum will be easy pickins. I hope they ask Cain and Paul both questions about the Fed. Paul will tear him a new ass. This could get good if they ask a bunch of questions about the Fed. I doubt they will though.

I don't think there will be 'backlash' as much as the other candidates are shooting themselves in the foot for not stealing Dr. Paul's thunder and skipping out on the event.

It'll do the folks in the audience a lot of good to take a break from Palin, Huckabee, and Romney.

The average voter isn't paying attention yet - but party donors and bigwigs certainly are. They will remember which candidates did not take them seriously.

It costs money to even be in the audience for this thing.

My best guess is that they'll feel him out first for how well he's doing. They'll go in for the kill if he's stumbling, but they just might stay fair if he scares them enough. :)

When they try to ambush Dr. Paul is when he knocks it out of the park, so I hope they do it a lot. The worst is when they just put him off in the corner and ignore him.

Up to this point its been really hard for me to figure out what angle they are gonna go after him this time. I do expect a lot of loveedovee crap about obama getting osama tonight and they will probably try to say under president paul it would have never happened. Granted he will crush that real fast.

you think that paw got the center position and Paul and Johnson got the wings of the stage was coincidental?

The Paul supporters are great, but they could possibly turn the audience against him with their enthusiasm. :(

Seriously. I haven't seen any of it. But I assume they made a statement at the beginning asking people not to cheer because it takes away from the time spent on what people are actually there to see. We really need to get the word out among RP supporters that if we're serious about winning, we would do well to be a little more classy than last time around.
