This is from my college political science book and I thought I'd share it with you:

A poll was taken several years ago that asked voters to identitify the one quality they wanted most in a president. And the results were...

Honesty/Integrity....................................43%
Leadership/ability to make decisions.......11
Sense of responsibility to people..............6
Believes United States rates first..............5
Understanding of the poor........................4
Sound economic program..........................2
Intelligence...................................... ..........2
Good Judgment.......................................... 2
Self-confidence........................................ ...2
Experience........................................ .........2
High moral standards.................................2
Accessibility..................................... ...........1
Other............................................. .............3
No answer/don't know..............................12

CBS News/New York Times Poll

Honest/Integrity trumps every other quality and Ron Paul trumps everyone else in Honesty/Integrity. If you ever doubt Ron Paul's chances of becoming president, just remember that.
