Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina (McCain supporter) predicts Ron Paul.......

[jasonoliver]

......will do much better than polls indicate in SC, because he has very enthusiastic supporters who aren't polled because of cell phones.

This was just on CNN late edition.

YEAAAAAAAAAA.

[tsetsefly]

they see the on the ground support... 200 volunteers in iowa come one what other candidate has this...

[chiplitfam]

Can someone You Tube it?

[IHaveaDream]

Senator Graham is sucking up. Ron Paul signs are everywhere down here and South Carolinians have been eagerly waiting to vote Lindsay Graham out of office since he tried to shove that amnesty bill down our throats. He needs to make nice in a hurry, but it ain't gonna work on this voter.

[Alex]

Lindsey Graham, the Senator from South Carolina was on Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer a few minutes ago. I happened to be watching it. He came to talk about McCain, whom he supports, but actually mentioned Dr. Paul in the interview.

Sen. Graham said quote "We'll see. I think uh the movement out there of Ron Paul is probably pretty hard to track so I wouldn't be surprised if he does better than polling numbers because his people are very committed and y'know polling doesn't have cell phone numbers yet, so we'll see how well that goes. I really don't know about Iowa. I do know that John is moving in New Hampshire very well."

Then he talks more about McCain. I was really stunned because it was kinda random. Graham was asked about McCain and he went and talked about Paul, agreeing that the polls don't show RP's true support levels.

I'd youtube it if I knew how.

[AlisaOR]

I think SC is a toss-up with Huckabee. If Paul beats Huck in Iowa and New Hampshire, SC is a shoe in.

[Alex]

blimp

[torchbearer]

the polling companies are loosing influence and after their debacle this election, they will be out of business.

[apc3161]

Irrelevant, but there was once a certain stance Sen. Graham took that just infuriated me. However, I somehow can't remember what it was...

[xd9fan]

He was the ringleader of the amnesty 14. (with McCain)

Lindsey Graham needs to loose his seat. period.
could careless what he says

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

sounds like McCain's conceding to RP in iowa :-)

[DealzOnWheelz]

lol

[ProBlue33]

WOW, an opponant admitting the truth, nice

[ronpaulfan]

That made my day. Thanks for posting that :)

[Cleaner44]

[Johnnybags]

[Give me liberty]

All your votes are belong to us.

1+

The Movement

[bgky4paul]

That was a HUGE admission. And was completely unsolicited by Wolf. Graham just volunteered the info. That is the first time I've seen an opponent voluntarily talk about Ron Paul. Big things are about to stir, boys and girls. Big things, indeed.


:eek:

[Eponym_mi]

Nice. When will they concede the rest of the states to RP?

[Adamsa]

I just hope it isn't the same type of movement as the "Howard Dean Movement." Need to make sure we have the older vote.

[Mattsa]

The YouTube link doesn't seem to be working

Just a black screen

Too much traffic perhaps

[TheDuke]

The campaigns of the other candidates are expecting us to win...

[Badger Paul]

Interesting. Graham is a senior backer of McCain so certainly Paul has been discussed in the campaign's war rooms. McCain should do no worse than fourth in Iowa and I don't think it hurt him too much because he really hasn't put much time or effort into campaigning there. I'm sure their concern is a good Paul showing will hurt McCain in New Hampshire among independents.

We'll see what happens...

[michaelwise]

I remember when Lindsay Graham said," We need the illegal aliens here, they help keep down the greens fees."

[Arklatex]

Forward heeve PATRIOTS!

[arbnranger]

AWESOME!!
Finally some acknowledgment!!
They feel the heat of FREEDOM bearing down on 'em!!

MY Ron Paul video here

[Ozwest]

That's huge! It's good to get some good news.

[speciallyblend]

awesome thanks mr graham;)

[Jaykzo]

If they are the first and only ones to publicly admit that Ron Paul might actually beat out a few of the frontrunners, it will make them look much more educated and aware of whats going on during this election than the other candidates, who have completely ignored Ron Paul's widespread support.

[Mark]

Shocking - maybe he believes in being honest.

Or, maybe he's trying to get the other candidates to address Ron's REAL strength and go on the attack
instead of just ignoring him and dragging each other down to Ron's advantage.

[Hook]

I hate L Grahm. He is a warmonger and whenever he debates with someone, he just talks over them instead of putting out cohesive arguments. Kinda like O'Lieley

[Micahyah]

wow.

Their internals must show that Paul is at least in 3rd in Iowa.

They are probably trying to soften the blow of McCain losing to Paul in Iowa.

I can see Fred, McCain, and Giuiliani having to spend all day Jan 4 explaining why they lost to the supposed fringe candidate.

Thank You for the Honesty about the Ron Paul campaign, Lindsey Graham. It's good to see some of the D.C. politicians take notice of the Ron Paul movement.

THANK YOU AGAIN SEN. GRAHAM!

[ClayTrainor]

that was awesome

Even the enemy is waking up.

[Perry]

Lindsay is in trouble. The McCain camp is probably saying WTH was he thinking!?

[literatim]

:D

[tnvoter]

Our opponents are soon going to be joining us.

[ButchHowdy]

WOOT defined!!!

[RevolutionSD]

This is a HUGE admission!

Guys, good things are going to happen in Iowa this week.
I'm not saying we're going to win it but I do firmly believe we will be 2nd or 3rd.

[Nihilist23]

This is gold. As this happens more, people who still have faith in the polls will finally acknowledge they are not accurate. The system is breaking.

[scrosnoe]

It doesn't take a genious to understand that Lindsey just read the political tea leaves and wants to be on record as having said something nice about Ron Paul.

Ron Paul backers really need to clean house in SC and get rid of him! He is bad news. I know this is not the right thread to post this in because he just said something nice, but want everyone properly warned that we are going to see more and more of this the better we do. There are some real problems we need to address. Lindsey is one of them IMO.

[BlueGecko]

WoW and not the game either

[Naraku]

McCain understands the threat posed by Ron Paul to the front runners. Soon the others will realize it too.

[skinzterpswizfan]

That was awesome to see. Thanks for posting that.

[ButchHowdy]

If Paul comes in 5th in Iowa, it will be deemed a failure.
If Paul comes in 4th, it will be deemed neither a success nor failure.
If Paul comes in 3rd, it will be deemed a success.
If Paul comes in 2nd, it will be deemed an amazing success.
If Paul comes in 1st, martial law will be declared!

GREAT JOB EVERYONE ON THE GROUND IN IOWA!!!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

[smartguy911]

thanks for the link

[Shellshock1918]

WOW, an opponant admitting the truth, nice

Quite a shock.

[RSLudlum]

Yeah my our 'loyal' SC senator is not blind to the fact that RP does have quite a following in his own State,,,he knows he's in for a fight from us in his next run.

[Feelgood]

Finally RP getting some props and respect he deserves! :)

[Oldguard]

than the other candidates, who have completely ignored Ron Paul's widespread support. LOL the other candidates aren't ignoring how well RP is doing. You can bet they're paying VERY close attention. Especially when they see his coffers fill up while their's runs dry. When his grassroots organization is heated up and visible while they have to scramble to get their slim jims distributed. Oh no, they're very aware of RP and it chaps their hide.

[VRP08]

the proof is in the pudding!

[skeptic]

I wonder if their private polling is setting off alarms about the Ron Paul threat.

[Oliver]

STRIKE ... YEAH! :D

[coboman]

WOW! Put this video in the frontpage.
What a morale booster!

We are going to win this thing.

[Luther]

the polling companies are loosing influence and after their debacle this election, they will be out of business.


I sure hope so.

[Feelgood]

Thought I would put this one out there as well. Its Rudy, and its interesting. I wonder if the Republican Rudy supporters realize this about their man...

And no this isnt about him being a cross dresser either... :eek:

[DRV45N05]

I'm in SC right now coordinating the Students for Ron Paul SC Vacation that's going to start on Friday. Let me say, from first hand experience: SC is between Paul and Huckabee.

[phoenix1861]

Here's Graham's voting record on a whole slew of issues:

http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=21992

[RSLudlum]

believe me he's feeling the heat from the RP supporters in SC...i've been mailing him on a regular basis and am pretty sure many others are also!!! :D

[phoenixrising]

Lindsay is in trouble. The McCain camp is probably saying WTH was he thinking!?
2 funny!!!!!!!

darn straight re; the cell phones.........not a clue boys!!!!!!!! here's to a GRAND New Year!!!!! woooooohooooooooooooooo

[DirtMcGirt]

yeah blimp... keep on flying in fla and scarolina than stroll on over to Tennessee...

[DRV45N05]

I was talking to the SC Coordinator tonight as we were leaving the office. He said he talked to a guy one time who told him a story about Lindsey Graham at a conference years ago. As the story goes, Graham got up to speak, and he actually started talking about monetary policy and how the Fed was effing things up with a fiat system. Nobody in the room knew what he was talking about except for like 15 Birchers in the back of the room. After he spoke, the guy went up to Graham and asked him what he thought of Ron Paul. Apparently, Graham had nothing but the absolutely best things to say about him.

Graham's saying nice things about RP has nothing to do with politics. He has a genuine admiration for the man. They did serve together in the House, btw. I have a pretty good idea of who Graham would be supporting if McCain were not in the race.
