Personally I never believed Peden to be any kind of threat to Paul. Frankly the only reason he’s getting any attention is not because he stands any kind of real chance, but because Paul ran (is running) for president. Otherwise Peden would get the same press coverage as Cynthia Sinatra (if you don’t know who she is, I don’t blame you. She was Paul’s 2006 republican primary opponent).
Considering Paul’s history when it comes to actual votes versus polls, maybe Peden will surprise us.
After all, if Paul’s supporters can stick with his Presidential bid even though he is running about 5% and hasn’t won one yet, those of us who support Chris have no reason to abandon him either.
DUMP THE NUT !
Well, I want Paul in Congress. There is nothing wrong with keeping a good healthy dose of non-intervention, non-entanglement thinkers in the party. Constitution — A OK by me. Small government — Ron Paul actually votes for it. He is in the right place in Congress and I wish we had 100 more like him.
Why would a majority of voters in Paul’s Congressional district decide to vote for Paul again when Paul has an isolationist point-of-view on foreign policy issues?
If and when a national idiocy party is formed, Ron Paul should make himself available for a draft! He would be a hands down favorite to lead that party!
I haven’t seen a poll in this race from a source that I trust.
I can only tell you what I’m seeing in Ron Paul’s district, which is that he’s actively campaigning for the first time.
There must be a reason why he feels he needs to do that.
He’s vastly outspending Peden, and with the power of incumbency, he’s got to be considered the favorite.
I’ve already cast my vote for Peden in early voting here, and I’ve not yet met someone at the office who supports Ron Paul. That’s not definitive in the least, though, since my office isn’t in Ron Paul’s district.
The people in Victoria may feel quite differently than the people who live in Houston suburbs, and Ron Paul represents all of us. It’s a weird district, to be sure.
Great job, thanks for the post.
