In small part:


Paul attracted at least one new American voter who noted that he helped her find “the truth” and meaning in life, that is freedom.

Merav Yaakov, a new American citizen who emigrated from Israel a number of years ago, will be voting in her first presidential election in 2012. She said she became politically involved after listening to Paul and would vote for him because he “changed my life and helped me find the truth that I couldn’t find on my own.”

“What is freedom?,” she asked. “What are human rights? What is social justice, a proper voting system, and peace? He opened the door and then I opened up other doors to other truths.”

If Paul is elected, there is a good chance he will defund American-taxpayer-funded military operations to both Israelis and Arab militaries. But that doesn’t bother Yaakov who said, “It will save lives.” She said even though she served in the Israeli military and knew general and cabinet members, the country was stuck in a perpetual war that would never bring about peace to the conflict because of America's involvement. She said the United States needed to leave the region and allow the inhabitants to solve the problems themselves.

“The politicians there are like the politicians here,” she said. “They say one thing and then do another thing.”

They picked the perfect person to interview for that article!

Any idea on numbers? Looks like a nice turnout, NH!

People there thought 600, media said 'over 400'. I dunno. Someone posted pictures on another thread and it looked like a ton of people.

Sounds like 350-550 more than Huntsmann had for his. :D

Any idea how many showed up for Perry in SC?

Great article. If an Israeli military veteran saying Paul is right on Israel doesn't convince people, I'm not sure what would.

It should be easy to get those kinds of endorsements, since all Israeli's are required to serve in the military or other form of public service for at least 2 years. I like that this woman points out the perpetual nature of the Israeli conflict in the Middle East, that is propagated by our involvement and money.

I recall seeing an article that said something like 600-800 I think?

Was that the redstate conference though? Because that is like announcing at CPAC. The crowd isn't necessarily there for you. However, Perry is governor...and was in his own state for his real announcement.....

New voter from Israel now supporting Ron? Not too shabby for an anti-semite. ;)
