If he was allowed more time in a debate to get his actual/real point acrossed I have a feeling he'd poll even better. The others all have pandering points down to a science, which works great in debates. Paul doesn't pander though, he points are also more complex than the dumbed down versions the others use. Makes it hard for a majority of people to see who he really is and what he stands for, the fact that it's feasible unless they actually do their homework and look beyond the 30 second sound bites.
Polls going up is a good thing no matter what the case, because even if the poll is biased, if the numbers rise but the sample size and questions are consistent, it reflects a positive growth. I don't know why you guys cannot comprehend that it's possible for polls to not be accurate, AND growth in said polls to be positive. If I make a poll that polls self-described authoritarians for their primary choice, Paul will probably be polling 0%. If Paul goes to 3%, that is a positive growth, but still not reflective of reality since the sample is fucked. It's possible for both to be true at the same time, Will.
It's a very different campaign to be sure. I'm looking at it this way. He's speaking to the fervent, the net savvy, the intellectual, and allowing them to disseminate the message virally. Everything about this campaign has been accomplished through social/viral marketing. It's truly grassroots driven.

Former Marine and now eKnowledge CEO Charlie Beall endorses Ron Paul. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi_Lwx_v-w0 Part2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHkrbtFjSwU Just one of many endorsements coming, from real Americans. -----------------------
Now these are the kinds of endorsements i love to ready about. Soldiers who are fighting in the front lines and not posting their support for neocons and their war behind a pc. I want all our soldiers back from that lie of a war as soon as possible. All i want for christmas is ron paul for president. Can we hear a rebuttal from Will Spencer to what this american marine is saying?????

lol, I recall someone mentioning in P&R recently, that it was a Paul/Romney/Giuliani battle. ---------------------------- News Paul is first on the ballot in New York and Virgina. I believe he is also first on the ballot in Missouri. Also, Paul will be on the ballot in Alaska, I believe they filed the ballot access petition signatures today. The only confirmed candidates I know on the ballot in Alaska are Paul and Romney. It's a marathon, not a sprint, as Huckabee will find out. -

Those who profess to be Libertarians and support Ron Paul might be interested in reading Libertarians Against Ron Paul. Also: Reflections on Ron Paul Ron Paul's Statement on Racism Libertarians Questioning Paul’s Connection To Extremist Right Questions About the Ron Paul Camaign "Reflections on Ron Paul" summarizes my feelings as well or better than I could myself. The other articles represent a wide breadth of "libertarian" thought -- wider than I would personally subscribe to.
