Are you sure about that, absolutely sure about that? I remember past posts when he came in 5th and the outlook was, 'he did well, he only came in a few percentage points behind so and so.'
Yes, yes, the "grassroots" appeal, whopp-de-da.
That's what I am saying, so far, his numbers are lousy, so, so far, he is losing, as fact. Can it turn around for him? Sure, it's possible, just not probable.
In perspective, those things aren't not true are they?
In terms of straight up, "He lost". Yea. He lost. It sucked. I'm pissed. His supporters are pissed. I'm sure Ron Paul is pissed.
A lot of people are angry, but more of it is directed at the American people and so forth, but that's a different story...

RP's logic is starting to seem more airtight to me then most of the other candidates' logic. And the sheer obvious, simple logic behind his more "radical" opinions goes with such a small ripple it makes me mad. I'm not an RP supporter (not yet anyway), but it's still infuriating that Paul can point out a problem with borrowing 6 billion dollars from China to purchase from China while in the middle of an expensive war and facing an increasingly expensive health care problem...and the other republicans can dismiss him as "Ron Paul" without having to worry at all about the effect that has on their candidacies.
Dang this nation seems messed up sometimes.

It's still early, but McCain is cleaning house... Ron Paul though, is getting his 'shit pushed in', sorry RP supporters.

Yeah, that's because of the bias media, they wouldn't put his name out there. They ignored him, so it was up to his supporters to do it.

To reach the masses, you need the media.
When the media acts like you do not exist, enter bad numbers.

Not a lot of people are going to be swayed by signs the day of the primary. Sure, some might be, those are the idiots, but I'm assuming the majority go in knowing who they want to vote for.

The idiots tend to be the ones that turn things around. Look at Huckabee.

Huckabee gets more exposure though. Maybe not as much as McCain or Romney, but at least he's recognized as a running candidate. Yesterday I was watching the news and the guy said something along the lines of "Here are the three remaining candidates for the republican side" and then went on to the democratic side. Huckabee was one of them.

Romney suspended his campaign for the 'greater good'; McCain is the conservative runner. "There can be only one!"
Edit: Not that it's done on the Rep side, who do you think will be his VP?

I like that, "suspended". Like it's just on the back burner while he's doing something else.
