I can't help but think that with the polls being landline based and phrased to eliminate Ron Paul as an option that his actual support is closer to 12%.
Do you honestly think that only 13% of those supporters are going to show up at the polls? The amount of time and energy put into the campaign and not have at least 50% of them show up? I can't guarantee, but I'm betting that they will.

Assuming 12% support and 50% turnout, that's a 6% total...

It's entirely possible.

If anyone is interested, you can watch DR RON PAUL being interviewed by

Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Situation Room. Its today, Thursday 11-8-07 @ 4:10PM

EST. It will be shown again @ 6:00 PM EST.

Afterwards maybe we can all go over what was said. I would like to hear your

opinions!


Take care,

Actually I really like most of what Dr Paul has put out there, as he was once the Libertarian candidate as well, I think last presidential election!
However, although I agree more so with what Dr Paul says than any of the Democrats or Republicans, I have a sense that he does not have the leadership or vision I and the rest of the country are so longing for. Not that any other candidate does either!!! But Dr Paul in some ways has a flaw or so to say maybe he is too much like a professor spewing philosophies but when it comes to action that is where I get worried!

But Countrylv22, if you think along these lines then I would say we are very like minded! Thanks for this great post! I found it while I was reading your post history to find out more about you, as so many on the board admire your genteel nature! Thanks again!
