Did we majorly sway any voters tonight

[gpickett00]

Overall, what do yall think about the outcome of tonight? Overall, with exception to the Venezuela question, the responses seemed quite positive. Also, the answers, after being able to read them in English seemed pretty encouraging. As always the time alloted seemed less than others but that is expected.

question: was tonight a strong step in the right direction?

I only saw the video for RP's questions, and I think he was cheered on every response except the Chavez question. I don't know if they were cheering the others though, so I can't make a comparison.

Was there a poll afterwards?
Did RP win?

[AlexMerced]

from what I saw RP was one of the few to get any response at all, much less the lound responses he was getting

Usally the other candidates just a clap, not the clap

[fortilite]

Looking at the after debate articles written, he is definitely mentioned more prominently than he was from the YouTube debate.

My mom, who is from Argentina and is now a US citizen, is now a Ron Paul supporter. She says she is going to register Republican this week (from Independent) in order to vote for Dr. Paul. Mind you, she is someone who loved Peron in her youth.

She loved how Ron would not pander to the audience on Castro.

Ron is awesome.... telling it like it is... in the place where people don't want to hear it. brave.

the NYT says he got booed over his Cuba statements... ?

I honestly dont expect too many latinos to vote for Paul, but I do expect Paul to have the most latino votes of any Republican contender.

actually, i think Ron will get the latino vote... he will not get an older minority cuban vote...but i'd put that a 5% subset of the hispanic/latino communities.

Good news, thanks.

I bet you, that most people don't know any other position on Castro and Chavez than what they hear on TV, even if its Spanish, or what their parents say since they repeat whats on TV. I think hearing someone prominent with a thoughtful and coherent and totally opposite view will have a big impact on a lot of Latin people.

Also I bet that a lot Latin people are against the war and there was only a single candidate on that stage that is against it. I doubt that the wishy washy answers they got from other candidates on Immigration are going to turn to many votes.

On the other hand, in RP's conclusion, he summarized and especially emphasized the major issues facing this country and lack of respect for the constitution. I bet that a lot of Latin people know best about that subject, since they have the most corrupt governments anywhere.

I think RP will do well after that debate.

I bet we won a ton of socialist hispanics tonight lol

[Peppy690]

I'm just gonna take a wild guess that the Cuban population in Florida buys "made in China" goods. Oh, the irony!

R.P. should appeal to all unbrainwashed Legal Latinos.

Remember, in most cases, sooner is better than later.

He won the debate because, once again, he demonstrated that he is a man of integrity.
He will not pander to anyone anywhere. Even when people disagree with him they must respect him. He's an honest man in a field where dishonesty has become the norm.

And that's going to play a major role in his getting elected.:)

There's a definite positive psychological effect on people when they hear a person with strong convictions that they agree with 90% of, but still manages to rile you up on the last 10% or so. When a candidate has a message that seems 100% tailored for an audience it can look suspicious, but in this case the 10% they don't agree with (Castro, etc.) shows conviction and courage, and is actually more positive I think than if Ron Paul had agreed with them on the Cuba issue as well.

Or to put it simply, it goes like this:
100% agree: sounds good, but is he telling the truth?
50% agree: I don't like that guy
10% agree: I REALLY don't like that guy
80-90% agree: I don't agree with everything he says, but maybe it's because he knows something I don't?
