Ron Paul Third in LA Times Poll; Dominates Non-White Vote


This is critical, it puts to rest the angry white middle class male tea party bit from the media, and the old "letters fiasco". You cannot win the general election without cross over appeal and Ron has it in spades!

Add to this the Ron Paul dominates military fundraising and Ron Paul dominates Independents, it's a victory!

Thank you for these posts! +rep

Anyone who said the new ad is bad, just look at the new amount of stories since its release.

Hopefully the campaign will respond to Perry's campaign attacking Ron for being a conservative, and that will just add to number of stories, and hopefully lead to Perry sending even more attention to Ron.

He's the talk of the town, and Perry took the bait too. :) Looks like if Perry can make it to the debate that we'll have some interesting times!
