Intersting Polling Data: Pat Buchanan 1996

[Nash]

This poll was a week before he won New Hampshire:

This poll was after he won New Hampshire:

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/polls/cnn.time/022396.shtml

Note the 15% jump nationally once he became "credible".

Of course he didn't win and I hope the Paul campaign learns from that. However it gives me hope that someone polling so low nationally 1 week before NH can win the state. I believe that Paul can do the same.

I think you are right on target, Nash. It really feels like the fuse is lit, and we're squinching our eyes shut and holding our ears shut.

Buchanan was hit with a massive smear campaign right after he won New Hampshire.

This time around we've got the internet working in our favor.

Excellent job, Nash. We are the 2008 version of the "peasants with pitchforks"!:)

What a great article. Ron Paul is going to get slaughtered by the media; with lies and blatant mischaracterization. Obviously, he must know this and is preparing for it.

This is the optimistic outlook we should be praying for!!
