Ron Paul sent out an email the other day to his supporters in which he wanted to emphasize two things that tickled him during the last YouTube/CNN debate.

In his first joyous moment Paul said, "I mean this: mainstream politicians NEVER attack an opponent they think is far behind. The McCain campaign, we've heard, is worried sick about New Hampshire, and they thought a slam at me would help. Ha! Of course, it only strengthened our forces." It most certainly did as Paul took in another 500,000 plus buckaroo's that evening.

My favorite of course is from Rudy Giuliani who after the debate, "walked up to me and said, 'Oooh, you sure have a LOT of supporters.' It's only the beginning, I told him."

He went on to describe the carnival-like atmosphere of the event, with only a handful of Romney supporters present, and virtually no supporters showing up for other candidates: "We, on the other hand, had about 500 enthusiastic revolutionaries, plus a boat, a trolley, and two planes towing lighted signs. As I looked out at the crowd, I thought: the establishment has no idea of what they are facing. We have an army of freedom, prosperity, and peace."

Paul also mentioned the recent Los Angeles Times article in which the author of the piece warned media-annointed "frontrunners" that "the
British also thought they had no problem with the Americans -- until Yorktown."

I love Ron Paul, and will vote for him, but I don't think most of his supporters are registered Republicans. Since most states have closed primaries, that will hurt alot.

I really like Ron Paul. He is the only candiate I would consider voting for, if he makes it on the ballott. It is so discouraging that the main-stream media won't give him any mention, If the Repubs had any sense, they would push him as their candidate. He is the only one who can defeat Hillary--because so many Dems like him also. I hope he makes the 12 million dollar goal this month that he needs to be on the ballott. I have told everyone I know who I usually get a gift, or xmas card from. to send whatever they would spend to Ron Paul instead of to me. Every little bit helps. I also enjoyed reading his wife, Carol Pauls article about him. What a great 1st lady she would be.

I am certain that Ron Paul will meet his goal of 12 million for this quarter. He already has 10.6 million and we still have the teaparty coming up on Dec. 16th. Even without the teaparty he should reach 12 million.

P.S. I got a call from Mrs. Paul earlier this week, well it was a recorded call but it was nice to hear from the campaign.
