1st, rons 4 years older this time around.
actually, if no one new steps up. and CPAC was a good place to do it. Basically, you have to understand that the last 4 years have been pretty good to Ron Paul. The organizations are training people on field work I think, among other things.
There are a lot of young bright and now more polished and skilled ron paul supporters. People are enthusiastic. Very ready for him to announce he’s running and very ready to give a ton of money for the first money bomb. That first money bomb could give him as much money in one day than he had at any one point in the last campaign. And that’s way early. By any reasonable metric, he would be seen as well ahead. If none of these other candidates catch fire would
Palin Romney and Paul be farfetched in a state, maybe NH?
Then both Romney and Palin falter. I’m not saying that if Palin is strong she wouldn’t beat Paul. She would, head to head, if she’s strong. But I don’t think that it’s unreasonable to think that Ron Paul could be pulling in the teens consistently in the early stages. The Egypt thing played out very well for Ron Paul. Ron Paul has former staff that are in the state house in NH. Ron Paul supporters have been very active politically in NH. Ron Paul would take some states. I suspect Ron Paul would do well at caucuses. Win some of those. He hangs in there, and whoever is in there falters.
He’s going to do better than last time. But last time I had more confidence in Ron Pauls ability to win a head to head. He was much more of a longshot last time around. He wasn’t winning these things 4 years ago.
What I’d like to see sorta (not a first choice necessarily) is a situation like 40/40/20, palin/romney/paul. that’s a reasonable breakdown after a certain point. Around that time, Paul drops out and supports Palin and Palin says Ron Paul will be my Sec Treasury (or VP). I think that’s the one he’d want. Palin/Bachmann with Ron Paul as Sec Treasury. And then Palin beats Romney head to head fairly easily, and Palin wins in November.
Happy daze will never be here for paulnutz! Put down the bong, man!
Do you think any candidate with any real chance would name “loose cannon Ron” to any post? You just never know what’s next from RP. He’s doing just fine where he is in the House, don’t push the luck.
