Ron has 10% in a poll including Huckabee, Trump, and Palin. If none of them run, Ron should pick up enough to go in first place. If Palin endorses Ron, even better!

It also shows Paul polls better against Obama than any other candidate!


We can do this!

That is REALLY promising..

Ron paul!!!

I remember the first time I went to see Ron Paul speak in June of 07' he was barely polling 2% and there weren't any Ron Paul kind of candidates in the house or senate. We've came alooooooong way in just a few years.

Ditto Billay...we are miles ahead of where we were 4 years ago.

This is the same poll that shows Ron polling BETTER against Obama than any other potential candidate.


Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown. Huckabee trails by eight points, with Romney down 11 points to Obama.
The poll indicates the president leading Gingrich by 17 points, Palin by 19, and Trump by 22 points.

Ron ALWAYS beats Obama with independents. Ron dominates with independents over Obama and other GOP. I've been tracking that in polls for over a year now. Only once ever did I see someone higher than Ron with independents and it was a single poll with Huckabee, where H got more but they were close. But it was a fluke.

Great news! We need more stories like this to beat the "but he can't win" syndrome.

More than that. We've got to make the G.O.P. faithful understand--somehow--that he's the only one who can win the general election.

We need to post that poll everywhere and discuss it with everyone we know. We must also make a handout with that information to go on all our literature now!

Wow. They are really pushing Paul hard now. The establishment is worried a true outsider like Herman Cain will shake things up so they have to present us Ron Paul :eek:

Seriously though that is great news. A little less paranoia goes a long way.

Herman Cain was a former fed chairman. He's as establishment as it gets. Don't let his persona fool you.

I was joking. I don't like Herman Cain.
