"In yet another sign that perhaps the news media ought to think about treating his presidential campaign more seriously, Ron Paul was viewed about as favorably as Rick Perry and Mitt Romney by Americans in a new poll."

It happens to all of us. Some search engine must have a glitch that dug up that old article for both you and speciallyblend.

I have no problem with seeing this article and its comments again. A lot of people may not have seen it considering the boom in popularity of this site since the debate.

What I do have a problem with is people posting a thread about Rick Perry grabbing Ron's arm every 5 minutes.

EDIT: It's now being posted because it was posted to Ron's facebook page 3 hours ago.

getting closer to be breaking point...

This is all very interesting but is all hypothetical on if Paul could be against Obama, we need to not lose focus of the prize, which is OWNING these early primaries and caucuses!

This is all very interesting, less than a month ago, Paul was more favorable against Obama than Perry.

He has been consistently which is likely why Rasmussen left him out of the one they released today showing Perry polling best against Obama. When PPP polled Texas in July, Ron Paul beat Obama by 5 points, and Perry LOST to Obama .... in TEXAS.

Well, it's not that old. It's even currently on the top of the Ron Paul facebook page.



"The poll was conducted from August 18 to August 22 and released Friday."


Favorably

Ron Paul

Mitt Romney

Rick Perry

36%

Alas, it's a poll of general population not a poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters. Ron has always fared well among independents and Democrats. We need to out-organize the others in Iowa and then on to New Hampshire where independents and Democrats can vote in the GOP primary.
