Grass roots 'big ace' in Ron Paul's White House bid

 

More like weeds, than grass

 

Around this time 4 years Howard Dean was leading the democrats in raising money online and you see how well that turned out.

 

around this time 4 years ago Kerry was polling worse than Paul and you saw how that turned out..

 

All i can say is the american people are waking up . The more i read about Ron Paul the more i like him. He brought up mossadegh and iran a million times and not one of his opponents or any of the people on fox news has tried to tackle that debate. Its so hard when u speak the truth and back it up with facts. Not even paid posting neocons can counter that lol.

 

ping and his number one issue! The man that violated his country's constitution and dissolved parliament to gain power. Oh, the democracy!

 

That's because he won Iowa, what are Ron Paul's chances of winning Iowa.?

 

um very good?

 

Huckabee is dominating in Iowa it looks like, but I take those polls with a 60 lb. bag of salt so who knows really.

 

if you take the polls for a 60 lb bag of salt then how can you say he is dominating in Iowa? caucuses will be our forte.

 

We'll see in a month of how accurate you are.

 

that we will. now i don't know whether to build your "You got served!" sign now or a couple days before Iowa Caucus.. cause i mean i don't like to wait till the last minute

 

I would wait after the Iowa Caucus because you don't want to jinxs yourself

 

Iowa is our weakest state of the early primaries, but because it is a caucus, anything can change on January 3rd. Voters can register on the night of, which makes who shows up, much more important than polling who showed up 4 years ago (when Bush was the incumbent).

If I was a betting man, I would not bet on Huckabee. His campaign is far behind in fund raising and his infrastructure in Iowa is not very strong compared to Romney and Paul.

I would guess that Paul finishes 3rd or 4th. Huckabee anywhere between 2nd and 5th. Iowa is not the be all anyways. NH is 5 days later and is just as important. And in NH, it's anybodies race.

Speaking of the grassroots, today was Rudy's Reading List Money Bomb. Looks like a cool $500k in one day for the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. Other campaigns drool at the idea of having such an active and creative foundation.

Actually, Huckabee's campaign is doing remarkable in fundraising right now. This has been a tremendous month and even today, watching the donations turn from 1.x million to over 2.x million in a last minute effort.

Granted, he didn't have the support of white supremacists, troofers, anarchists, antisemites and 9/11 troofers on Nov the 5th, but funds are starting to come in consistently.

 

Yeah, Huckabee did great today. I think they brought in $375,000.

That's not bad. The Paulunteers only raised $525,000.

I think Mike must be up to $2.6 million in the quarter, which should help him in Iowa. We've only raised $10.3 million so far. Hopefully the TeaParty meets or beats Nov. 5th. Based on pledges so far, we should be in good shape for a $5+ million day.

 

I do have to give it to you Paul supporters, very good at organizing and bringing people together, quite amazing.

 

Yet, ironically, for all that money raised, Huckabee is rising in polls, getting noticed, leading in Iowa.

Huckabee is also moving ahead of Paul in NH.

 

As much as it hurts, I agree on this very much. Huckabee's "grass roots" cannot touch what RP's has done. They are the most organized, smooth running machine I've ever seen in a political race. There is some exceptional leadership in their grass roots organization.

I'd compare them to the Borg, on Star Trek, The Next Generation. One cohesive unit, all working together as a collective hive.
