...Against Paul, 42 percent of registered voters in Iowa support Obama and 43 percent support Paul. Paul’s popularity among independents could be a crucial advantage. Paul leads Obama 42 percent to 35 percent among independent voters, according to the poll, and he also attracts 15% of Iowa’s Democrats. Not to mention that 16 percent of voters were undecided....

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.......!!!!!!!!!!!!
But then again, “Anybody but Obama”, or was that “Anybody But Paul”?
“Anybody but Obama or Paul.”
Total B/S.
Unfortunately, I think that’s true. I just can’t picture Gingrich winning (against anybody), but I can see Paul pulling an upset over Obama. Paul may be weird, but he’s probably genuine. You can debate whether that’s a good or bad thing, but a lot of people respect it.
“Paul may be weird, but he’s probably genuine.”
You don’t get points for being a genuine lunatic.
And that's where it gets interesting. In another poll, 24% believe Ron Paul is the Most Principled of the Candidates, compared to Gingrich's 11%. And yet they still prefer Gingrich in greater numbers.
My dead father could beat Paul.
It's like Rodney said in "Back to School", "He really seems to care, about what I have no idea."
The “Iowa Poll” is by the Des Moines Register.. aka the RedStar&Sickle - commie Gannet fishwrap. THeir polls are not intended to reflect opinion, they are made to manipulate opinion. Screw ‘em.
I’m voting that for Best Quote of the Day.
Perfect...
“My dead father could beat Paul.”
May Be, with the help of the MSM hot on the case.
i made the mistake of watching ABC’s blurb on the Rep answer to Zero last night, and they BEGAN with showing Newt as #1, Paul as #2 and Romney as #3 with Paul, according to ABC having a 2% pt lead over Romney.
Then, ABC pretended that Paul didn’t even exist and spent the rest of their piece yakking about it being between Newt and Mitt with Paul just disappearing onto the Edit Room floor.
“You don’t get points for being a genuine lunatic....”
I dunno. The lunatic quotient in the White House presently is pretty high...
I think Ron Paul would do considerable damage to the Dems. Their base - likely not - they are true blue libs and will rot in hell as such. However, there are A LOT of Dems that are very Libertarian and would set aside their liberalism for a Libertarian acendency. The damage he would do in the ranks of the independents is tremendous, as there are quite a few with libertarian views. He may get flamed by a lot of Conservatives, but he would damage the Democratic machine.
That said, all things aside, I would take Ron Paul, as my greatest concern is the economy and the ever creeping governement regulations that are swallowing us all. I would pull the lever for him before Romney with certainty. Gingrich is now my guy - since Cain has bowed out, but I could sleep if Ron Paul got the nod.
Flame on, in one, two, three.................
The key to forecasting any vote count for Paul...... is the estimate of how many inmates at the mental health facilities....... are going to be let out at the same time.
I am not going to flame you, but if you give me the address of the institution you’re staying in, I will send you some cookies for Christmas. LOL
Paul most likely to beat Obama? The only thing Paul could beat is his...better stop there or I’ll get banned.
LOL!
Everybody knows that the Paul freaks stack the straw polls in Iowa. In the real world, Paul couldn’t get 1% of the vote. he guy is a complete kook. I saw him in the FOX debate. Talk about being from another planet!
I see you are new to FR. I have been here a bit longer. I try to keep most of my post to the subject of cheese or the random Moose. However I agree with you. I am a 71 year old grandfather. I am not in an institution. I am still working full time as a consultant, and thanks to the fact that the company I contract with being afraid to hire, I am having the best earning years of my life. That said, I do have grandchildren that I would die for. This country in in big trouble and I have become a Paulbot. If I am willing to die for my grandkids, I can easily take the CR@P my fellow Freepers can dish out. The more I see the way this election is going, the more convinced I am this is our last chance, short of war, to save it. I am now part of the mile deep, inch wide, support for the crazy man. I don’t know what line you have to cross to be Zotted, and if this crosses that line, than so be it. If that is the case, my last request would be for my fellow Freepers to just consider if things are really as bad for America as we all seem to be crying about, and if they are, how in the H@11 can you continue to so glibly spout off about the “dope cracy, foreign policy nut”. At this point in time I consider the FED and Washington Elites to be a clear and present danger to my grandkids.
