I think Americans can tell that he is the only one that can lead us out of the hole we are in.

The Daily Paul website had links to five of them and I voted in all of them and saw with my own eyes Ron Paul had won them all. But he's taken them down and replaced it (hopefully only temporarily) with a post debatevideo of Ron Paul being interviewed by Sean Hannity after the debate and another with Judge Napolitano and Juan Williams.

Republicans jumped on the Perry bandwagon. Now he's pretty much a goner, as I (and anyone else who has lived in Texas) had predicted all along.

Now let's watch as the Republicans latch on to Ron Paul. Sure, he has no shot, but let's latch on to him anyways.

Ron Paul is too old to attract independents. Also, he is from Texas. Not a good place to be if you are trying to attract independent voters.

Now would I be shocked if the GOP were foolish enough to nominate Perry? Not at all. It sure would say a lot about the GOP to the rest of the country if they wind up doing so, however.

Romney gets the nod, more than likely. If this occurs, it could be very bad news for the GOP.

Romney could very well lose his own state. News of this would break during voting for a large portion of the country. Imagine how much such a scenario would hurt Romney.

Why does Ron Paul "have no chance" if "everyone is latching on to him"???

So, it's all doom and gloom for the GOP no matter what. And it's all roses for Obama and the Dems. Got it.

The people taking those polls must not have paid very close attention to the debate.

As I said earlier, Ron Paul was incoherent and seemed senile. He clearly won NOBODY over except those already drinking the Paul koolaid.

The media is still pulling for Perry, particularly Fox News. They are in the tank. Doesn't matter whether he is up to the job or not. He is the pick of the litter. It is early yet so there could be hope.

Massachusetts is about one of the bluest states around, if it went red even for Romney that would almost be miraculous. I don't see how he even the governors race. The last time in recent years it went red was in 1980 and 1984 for Reagan when almost every state voted red. Mondale ony carried one state. George H. W. Bush didn't even carry it in 1988.

You do realize online polls aren't actual Scientific polling right?? And I thought it was Perry who didn't believe in Science....

Dislikes, not hates.

Gays can do their un natural thing but let them do whatever they want as long as they dont push their weirdness on me.

Santorum like the majority of us believe a marriage is between and man and a woman and gays are trying to force their own issues on us.
