Ron Beats Rudy? (In NH!)
Opinion Journal ^ | December 30, 2007 | Andrew Cline

Posted on 12/29/2007 10:29:34 PM PST by Scarchin

...Mr. Paul, an obstetrician from Lake Jackson, Texas, could pull off a stunner on Jan. 8 and place third in New Hampshire's Republican primary. If he does, he would embarrass Rudy Giuliani and steal media limelight from John McCain and Mitt Romney, who are battling for first place.

Ron Paul has his dedicated swarm of "Killer Bees" at work here, and they are executing their mission:

At least that's the buzz around here.

who'd have thought ...

a self-described Republican, running on a platform of isolationism, cut and run, courting White Supremacists, self-styled Nazis and 9/11 Truthers, and funded by a slavishly devoted fan base, who worship this kook, and will defend him to the end.

Paul has a 0% chance of getting the Republican nomination.

Tie-in to previous post regarding Paul's "Killer Bees".

Note their unique, built-in mode of communication via the ear antennae.

He can also pick up police calls, HDTV, Doppler radar and Wifi on that array.

No one thinks this could have a dramatic effect on the direction of the process?

L Ron Paul, the only candidate supported by Marxists and Nazis both.
The only embarrassment should be the fools supporting this
halfwit

If Rudy comes in behind him, he’s done.

Good news for Fred?

The question will be whether John McCain has any kind of surge in Iowa. If McCain and Giuliani do poorly in Iowa and then Ron Paul finishes third in New Hampshire, Rudy Giuliani will be embarrassed, and his campaign will be hurt. Of course, that outcome would also hurt Fred Thompson's campaign. The question is whether people are going to awake to the fact that New Hampshire has very few delegates and Iowa doesn't even select national convention delegates at the January caucus. If people make that connection, they'll quit allowing the results in Iowa and New Hampshire to determine the nominee. We'll have no more ridiculous talk about "three tickets out of Iowa" or "two tickets out of New Hampshire." Instead, people will think carefully, choose slowly, and maybe find the best candidate. Personally, my favorite is Duncan Hunter with Mitt Romney second, but I'd like to see people apply more thought to the process.

Very Interesting.

Looks like the McCain surge may be happening now.
