Maybe a better statement would be that Ron Paul is the only republican that can win the general election.

Yeah, thats pretty much what he's been doing for months.  He'll guarantee a Ron Paul win, but when you call him on it, he'll say he's not making any guarantees.

Why doesn't it? :strokebeard: No other candidate can win agansit either Hillary Clinton or Obama. The second most likely scenario is that the vote will be split and the decision will be made in a smoke-filled room. The most likely scenario, observing what is actually occuring, is that Ron Paul builds his support more and more solidly and wins the nomination.

Most people that do not think Ron Paul has a chance don't really see what is happening because they only know what the mainstream media is showing them. It doesn't really convey anything about what is actually happening, most of it is opinions of theirs being tossed around with polls that do not represent actual support. These people say that "well, most people only watch the mainstream media, so that is all they know", but most people who vote in party primaries are, at least to some degree, actively involved in the political process, or are at least astute observers, who are not as much limited by the media's clear limitations and corporate bias.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that is effectively reaching American people with a message that reasonably speaks with the American people's deepest concerns about this country and where it is headed. The War In Iraq and the economy will be the most pressing concerns on everyone's mind. The Republican party is on the verge of serious losses to the Democrats, but only because they are not putting forth the answers that the American people are demanding.

The presidental election is crucial to the Republican party. If they lose the executive branch, their party is pretty much out of power. With the serious economic situation this country is in, and with the platforms the leading Democrats are leading on, this loss would quite possibly be devastating for America. Now, I'm not sure on this, but I think it might be plausible that the senior members and party leaders might be a little bit concerned about this, and are going to be honestly assessing the situation. I'm pretty sure they aren't going to base their decision on the MSM's inability to register Ron Paul's support.

Huckabee's baseless surge should be testament enough that what the MSM is saying right now doesn't mean anything tomorrow. People are being very obtuse about this rather irrelevant "barrier" to Ron Paul's chances. :lol: The conservative media is attacking Huckabee. No surpise that Huckabee surged right after the CNN/Youtube debate. The fact that Huckabee is a Democrat in disguise doesn't have anything to do with a liberal media's bias resonating with him, does it? :rolleyes:

Ron Paul is the most electable candidate that is running in the Republican party. The only real question is whether or not he is the most likely to be nominated, and I feel pretty confident that this is the case. Ron Paul is an ingenious campaigner. I've been hearing some speculative discussion about what the official campaign has planned right around the time it will start receiving media attention for the Boston Tea Party moneybomb and the Ron Paul Blimp, and its very intriuging stuff. Ron Paul is going to start using a lot of this low-cost, debt-free money of his in some very effective advertising campaigns. My guess is that he will get very dramatic. The Iowa campaign is getting very active, and New Hampshire seems set for Ron Paul. No doubt, the blimp being in the state for the last two weeks should help. :smirk:

His newfound celebrity is not what one would have expected three decades ago, when Paul first won a seat in Congress. But while the celebrity may have changed, the philosophy has not.

"He was always pretty consistent. I used to say it doesn't make any difference what the issue is, someway or another, Ron will always get it back to the Gold Standard," says Bob Gammage, referring to Paul's stance against government-issued paper currency not backed by gold – a hallmark of Paul's economic philosophy.

Gammage ran against Paul in 1976, in a special election to fill the House seat of Bob Casey, a Democrat who resigned in the middle of his term to become a Maritime commissioner. Gammage thought he would hold the seat for the Democrats.

At the time, the country was coming out of the Watergate scandal. President Nixon had resigned, and Democrats were looking to make big gains in Congress. But the Paul campaign took them by surprise, Gammage says.

"A lot of people did not take him seriously," Gammage says. "He snuck up on them."

An Aggressive Campaigner

Gammage himself learned the hard way not to underestimate Paul, an obstetrician from Brazoria County.

On the morning of the runoff election, Gammage got an early dose of a tactic that, 30 years later, would become known as "swift boating." Gammage says he was jolted out of bed by a radio ad from the Paul campaign that featured a blood-curdling scream.

"The next thing I heard was this sweet girl's little voice saying, 'I hope my daddy and mommy don't vote for Bob Gammage, 'cause he wants to turn the rapists and murders loose to attack us in our beds. I hope my mommy and daddy vote for Ron Paul. He wants to put them in jail where they belong,'" Gammage recalls with a laugh.




I think you'll also have Ron Paul's relationship with Ronald Reagan played up a lot more. The fact that Ronald Reagan practically endorses Ron Paul for president doesn't hurt. :hehehe:

"Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our Country" - Ronald Reagan

You can't get any more Republican than Ronald Reagan. :rofl2: I don't think history left any endorsements from Reagan for Romney. :shrug:

I wonder who Ron Paul will announce as his vice-presidental candidate very soon... :strokebeard:

:hehehe:

I can't assert to know how reality will occur. I'm simply feeling confident that my assessment is very reflective of how things will play out. All the signs are there.

I hope that happens and Ron Paul gets a cabinet position.:thumbup:

Paul/Kucinich 2008 doesn't seem to make much sense unless Kucinich dropped his public health care platform, which he is very proud of.

The Liberty blimp took off at 9:00 A.M. Today, in N.C. They decided not to wait for the other banner that has been delayed. (The other side will have the rEVOLution sign on it) It's one sided until Monday. Also not sure if it will make it to Boston for the tea party.
