Ron Paul moves UP in the Polls (151)
HealthyLiving: A new poll out of Iowa suggests that the only GOP candidate to stand a chance of beating Obama one on one in 2012 is Congressman Ron Paul.
The NBC News/Marist Poll places Paul in third place with 17%, just 1% behind Mitt Romney, and well within the margin of error of second place.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich tops the poll with 26%.
Over the past few weeks Paul has consistently polled within the top three in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the latest numbers show he is closing in on the top spot.
Yet the most interesting facet of this latest survey is how the Congressman matches up in a hypothetical head to head with Obama.
The poll finds that the incumbent President betters all GOP competitors except for Ron Paul.
42% of registered voters in Iowa support Ron Paul and 42% back Obama, with 16 percent undecided.
In match ups with Romney and Gingrich, Obama comes out on top by 7 and 10 percentage points respectively, with 15 and 16% respectively undecided.
This highlights how Paul’s biggest hurdle is securing the nomination. There is no doubt that Obama would have a real fight on his hands to retain the presidency against Ron Paul.
Paul also leads Obama 42 to 35% among independent voters and attracts 15 percent of Iowa’s Democrats according to the survey. The Congressman also betters Obama by 14 percentage points among voters under 45 years of age.
Tellingly, Paul also leads the way over his GOP rivals with 25% among voters who see a candidate’s position on the issues, rather than electability or popularity, as the most important factor of their candidacy. Gingrich, on the other hand, leads among avid college football fans.
Speaking to CNN Sunday, Paul stated “You don’t win with just with a hard-core Republican base. You have to have a candidate that’s going to appeal across the political spectrum,”
Referring to himself as “The flavor of the decade” rather than the flavor of the month, in reference to the constant ups and downs of all the other candidates, Paul noted “I think with my views, they’re quite different than the hard-edge views (that) so many on the Republican side are frequently showing.”
Iowa poll, published Sunday by The Des Moines Register revealed similar results with Paul in second, with 18%, ahead of Romney at 16% and behind Gingrich at 25%.

Don`t get me wrong.....I like Ron Paul and his ideas.He has sound ideas when it comes to monetary issues,but I think that most people don`t quite understand and get it.As far as winning a debate I think Newt stands alone in that respect,even against the President. The trick is to capture the nomination by the party and sadly I don`t think that is in the cards for Ron Paul because most people just don`t get him. Newt on the other hand has a certain amount of prior baggage that liberals will certainly have a field day with,but he is the smartest one of the bunch and can articulate his ideas better than than the others. JMO...

HealthyLiving: I did too! I was at that concert!! We partied with them at a house, afterwards, all night long. We drove down there from Jacksonville. Got really wasted that night!
HealthyLivingWe may have been at the same party back then! We may have hugged and now here we are today! It’s such a small world!
Ron Paul is very experienced and has run Independent for President more than once. Main Street America is dependent on the fly by Liberal media news that doesn’t cover him. Most Americans who vote think that they know everything about Politics because they watch the news or read a newspaper. It takes much more than that to be informed. Take the time to study Ron's beliefs:

Ron Paul seems to climb up in the polls before the choosing of the party candidate and yet never seems to be chosen. Some of his "ideas" seem sound and yet he does not seem to get anywhere.

Mark my words here.
Ron Paul will not get the Republican Nomination.
Ron Paul will run on a 3rd party ticket.
Barak Obama will be re-elected.
Ron Paul is gonna take the needed votes from a candidate that would otherwise have a chance to beat Obama.
There you have it. The prediction is in.
Good luck with another 4 from Obama.

Hasn't Ron Paul run on a 3rd party ticket in the past?
And why Obama?

Hey there woman! Yes, Ron Paul has run on the Independent ticket twice prior.
In 2008 he ran in the Primary as a Republican candidate, then switched to the Independent ticket after not winning the nomination.

Yes, this does seem strange, does it not?
The powers that be, do NOT want Ron Paul in the Whitehouse!
He would clean up their corrupted Government.
They would be out of business and behind bars where they belong.
They are crooks and cheaters, organized crime at its highest level.
The voting machines are corrupted by these crooks.
Ron Paul filed suits in many states after the last election as voters reported they had cast their votes for him, yet their precincts showed ZERO votes for him! Talk about being "blackballed"!
It's such a shame that corruption rules the land.
America NEEDS Ron Paul!!!!!

Do most big cities use the electronic voting machines? I've only used one once in my voting years and mainly have used the good old pen and paper method.
How are those calculated via the machines?

HealthyLiving: Now that Herman Cain has suspended his candidacy, Ron Paul has moved up to the #2 position, following Newt Gingrich as the number one choice for the Republican nominee.
Question for YOU...Do you think Ron Paul is Electable, to be the candidate who can Beat Obama?
Please play nice!

I think he would beat Obama by a landslide.
The real question is whether he would survive to do so.
Anybody who really threatens to change the existing power structure is in mortal danger.

Well, prepare yourself because the state of Nevada ONLY uses machines.
Here is a website which gives the information for ALL states, tells you which vendor they use, model and type.
