    Ron Paul Polls Strongest Against Obama
    http://www.therightperspective.org/2...against-obama/

    Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul polls strongest against US President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup of the current crop of Republican hopefuls.

    The NBC-Marist survey, conducted between November 27-29, shows Paul ties with Obama, 42-42. Current front runner Newt Gingrich loses to the president 47-37; Mitt Romney, who until recently was leading most polls, is also defeated, 46-39.

    The survey shows that Paul has support outside of the GOP, which any Republican will need to score a victory in November next year. The political perspectives of those polled was almost evenly distributed, with 36-percent claiming Democrat, 35-percent Independent, and 28-percent Republican party affiliation.

    Ron Paul leads Obama 42 to 35 percent among independent voters and attracts 15 percent of Iowa’s Democrats. Paul also leads Obama by 14 percentage points among voters under 45 years of age.

    Additionally, 70-percent did not support or consider themselves to be members of the Tea Party, where Paul finds his strongest following.


    Out of the 2,879 registered voters surveyed, 54-percent plan to vote in the general election.

    Doesn't really matter if Paul has support outside the GOP, the primary voters don't really care for him and none of the other candidates are going to bring him on as VP.

    disagree. Paul said he will not support anyone not supporting his ideas, which means he won't support any GOP candidate.

    Paul will go 3rd party and serve the presidency to Hussein in a gold standard platter.

    The few things I agree with that came out of the Donald's mouth..."Ron Paul has ZERO chance of winning the nomination".

    Unfortunate that having balls automatically disqualifies you from winning the nomination for either party.

    That sums it up nicely. It's why this system is so ed. To be elected you have to either support all of the right side issues or all of the left side issues, no matter how ridiculous. A reasonable man (or woman) supporting some from each side can't get elected. This whole thing is bull .

    He doesnt stand a chance. We dont even directly elect our president, so even if the majority wanted him theyd find a way to screw him out of it.

    Here's one reason why Dr. Paul is such a loser. He stinks at economics

    GOP hopeful Paul says no Medicare in Cons ution

    Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul wants the federal government out of the health care business.

    The congressman from Texas says individual states should be left to provide whatever health care coverage they want.

    http://mobile.sfgate.com/sfchron/db_...tguid=mKpMSRHn

    ==========

    He blindly ideological "kill federal govt" schtick is silly.

    With no possibility of turning back the rip-off prices of US health care, the only solution is to spread the health care costs over the largest possible pool of contributing insurees, ie, the entire US population with mandatory, salary-deducted universal hard-core FEDERAL public insurance option.

    As an independent, Paul has no chance, imo.

    He'll be marginalized for the inflexible idiot he is. It won't take much to make him and his sycophantic followers look like the loons they are and he'll take sliver of votes he does every time he runs.

    He could get 1 or 2 % of the national vote as a 3rd party candidate.

    I believe this election will be so polarized around how Americans feel, going into the voting booth on election day, that 1 to 2% won't matter. Someone is going to win in a lopsided -- or, at least, by a large -- margin.

    In related news, presidential terms remain four years long.

    “I’m not looking forward to anything being long and protracted. So I hope it ends rather quickly and we do real well in the beginning of the year,” Paul said while campaigning in New Hampshire, according to CNN. “The organization is fantastic. The question is: am I going to hold up if I keep doing all this.”
    Swell. Let's nominate the guy who's really hoping to take care of business early, before Matlock.
