Well Bradley, concerning the polling, I don't know what else the grassroots can do than they are already doing. It's time for the campaign to step up and do something.

[RedStripe]

What gives me hope is that anyone with an Iowa driver's license can participate. Hopefully anti-war dems, independents, libertarians, and true conservatives will come out of the wood work to help Ron Paul in the straw poll.

So I guess if RP was assaulting the airwaves in iowa 24/7 with grandstanding generalities and pointless platitudes we'd have close to 30% in iowa?

If only RP had a net worth of half a billion dollars...alas.

NOW, we find out Saudi Arabia is well into developing their own nuke weapons program.

A video montage of Bush/Cheney "Greatest Terrorist Hits" about the dangers of an Islamic State acquiring nuclear weapons, interlaced w/ images of Bush holding hands w/ the Saudi Crown Prince at the WhiteHouse, cutting repeatedly back to the headlines of "Bush Wants Ports to Dubai", "Gasoline Hits $4!", "Saudis Building Nukes", and images of the 9/11 hijackers...

...followed by the image of a nuclear detonation...

...ending w/ pictures of Bush w/ Giuliani, Bush w/ Thompson, Bush w/ McCain, Bush w/ Romney...

and the phrase "America can't afford THEIR kind of National Security... and neither can I. Vote for Ron Paul. President 2008".

w/ the obvious disclaimer that RP did NOT approve this message.

"America can't afford THEIR kind of National Security... and neither can I. Vote for Ron Paul. President 2008".

"Neither can you"

I think we are going to end up being worried for nothing... :)

But keep spreading the word, especially to disaffected dems and independents!

[Ron Paul Fan]

Ron Paul is only getting 1%, but the majority of the competition in the Iowa straw poll is only at 2%. Giuliani, McCain, Gingrich, and Fred Thompson won't be there. And hopefully something happens like RedStripe said and more than just Republicans come out and vote for Dr. Paul. I think Ron Paul is the only one whose message will attract independents and disgruntled Democrats to come and vote for him.
