Ron Paul moves UP in the Polls (151)
Ron Paul Commands a Strong Plurality of Hispanic Republican Voters in Florida
Garners a notable 41.5 percent of Sunshine State Hispanic Republicans who will vote in the primary
KISSIMMEE, Florida – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul wins a strong plurality of Hispanic voters in the early voting state of Florida, according to a new poll.
Paul earns a commanding 41.5 percent among this large voting segment, with Newt Gingrich a distant second with 25.3 percent. Mitt Romney in third place and Rick Santorum in fourth place fare quite poorly, garnering just 9.2 and 4.1 percent, respectively, in the survey of registered Republican voters who respond that they will vote in the Tuesday, January 31st primary.
Among the total voters sampled, Paul is in third place with 13.1 percent in the state, ahead of Santorum with 10.7 percent, remarkable considering the Paul campaign is pursuing a longer-term delegate-accumulation strategy in lieu of the Sunshine State nominating contest.
“Ron Paul’s support among Hispanic Republicans makes sense since Hispanics desire the same reforms that their non-Hispanic counterparts want—strong purchasing power for their hard-earned dollars, a regulatory climate hospitable to business and job growth, and personal and economic liberties returned so decision-making on important life matters occurs in the home and not in Washington,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
“These numbers bode well for Dr. Paul. We’ve got a lengthy, 50-state national campaign ahead of us and Hispanic voters will play a part in the Republican nominating contest and in the general election,” added Mr. Benton, referring to the 12-term Congressman from Texas as “doctor” because Paul is by trade an OB/GYN who personally delivered more than 4,000 babies.
The Florida poll comes on the heels of news that Paul defeats incumbent President Barack Obama 49 to 45 percent in a general election matchup, according to a CNN/ORC Poll. Paul also bests all other Republican candidates among nonwhite voters when matched against Obama in the CNN/ORC poll, carrying a solid quarter of those votes, and defeating Obama among white voters 54 to 41 percent, and men 49 to 44 percent.

Ron Paul Defines Conservatism at Tonight’s DebateJanuary 23, 2011
The last question asked by the NBC moderators tonight was about how each of the candidates have advanced conservatism. Mitt Romney talked about his business experience. Newt Gingrich attempted to align himself with Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Rick Santorum did a good job in explaining how Mitt and Newt’s support for individual healthcare mandates, TARP and cap-and-trade calls into question both men’s conservative credentials.
Ron Paul pointed out that conservatism is supposed to mean smaller government and more liberty. Paul then suggested that Republicans have completely lost sight of this definition. He’s right.
Romney, Gingrich and Santorum’s records are all riddled with support for bigger government (Santorum’s own offenses include supporting Medicare Plan D and No Child Left Behind, for starters) and all three have been willing to sacrifice constitutional liberties in the name of “security.” The Patriot Act, support for indefinite detention and other anti-4th Amendment measures are prime examples, but so are the amount of money every candidate but Paul is willing to spend overseas in the name of “security.”
The reason the other candidates can’t find big government offenses in Paul’s record is because there aren’t any. The reason the other candidates can’t offer any spending cuts–much less the $1 trillion Paul offers–is because they’ve resigned themselves to the idea that America’s foreign policy status quo must remain intact. No questions. No reassessment. No cost/benefit analyses. All but Paul want more of the same.
Every candidate except Paul offers zero cuts. Every candidate except Paul consistently gives up more of our constitutional liberties.
If conservatism truly means smaller government and more liberty, then only one conservative stood on that debate stage tonight.

RON PAUL The Very Best of Ron Paul - part 1

Unlike Gingrich and Romney, Ron Paul’s honest political approach is refreshing to countless Americans, as Paul continues to connect with voters who don’t believe most of what Newt and Mitt tell them. FOX News’ “The Five” recently discussed the appeal of Paul’s candor, as well as a FOX focus group, of which the participants agreed that Ron Paul was the only honest man in the race:

Sorry HL...I think Paul is rapidly running out of poll to climb. I like him, but I'm not sure well enough to lead the country. That being said...IF it did come down to him or 'he whose name can not be said...' I would vote for him.

Wide Open
February 7, 2012
Rick Santorum had a good night. Mitt Romney had a bad night.
And Ron Paul is having a good week.
Combine a new Reuter’s poll today which put Paul second nationally, a strong second place finish by Paul in Minnesota tonight, a performance by Santorum that undermines Mitt Romney’s supposed inevitability, and guess what you have?
A race that remains wide open.
Romney was once worried about a serious challenge from Newt Gingrich. Newt is quickly becoming yesterday’s news.
Romney is now challenged by a Paul surge and wins from Santorum that would have been unthinkable just weeks ago.
Paul is just as poised to win the GOP presidential nomination as the remaining three candidates. Gingrich has gone from a runaway victory in South Carolina to oblivion. Santorum has gone from oblivion to runaway victories. Romney simply goes on.
And Ron Paul goes on, incorruptible, undaunted and toward the ultimate victory.

Big Win For Ron Paul in Maine
With 95% reporting, Ron Paul has over 36% of the vote in Maine right behind first place finisher Mitt Romney, who has barely 39%.
But when all the votes are counted will Romney still be in first place? Only 194 votes stand between Paul and a first place victory. Washington County is a stronghold for Paul and has yet to report. It might be a week before we know the final outcome there and Washington County is expected to yield 200 votes or more.
Still, Maine is a state in Romney’s backyard that he should’ve been able to walk away with easily. That Mitt almost lost to Ron tonight–and that Mitt still may lose to Ron in the days to come–does not bode well for the establishment candidate. Romney shouldn’t have had to campaign in Maine and yet circumstances forced him to make a last ditch effort.
Santorum, riding high on Tuesday, was 20 points behind Paul tonight. Newt Gingrich, who won South Carolina with 41% last month, got only 6% tonight.
This was not a good night for Mitt Romney. It was a fantastic night for Ron Paul.

HealthyLiving, I did not read all the posts in this thread, but I did want to answer your very first question. You asked if Ron Paul was electible. It is the MSM that tries to pound into peoples heads who is electible and who isn't. Ron Paul is not only very electible, he is the ONLY candidate who is electible. The rest are different versions of the same horse.
We might as well have only one party when it comes to elections anymore since they all say and do the same thing.
If Ron Paul's campaign got only 20% as much coverage as the others got he would win by a super landslide. If the people were informed and not kept in the dark about Ron Paul's past voting practices, ideas, and platform he would take this country by a tsunami of votes. The others would be exposed for the frauds they are.
I was never into politics at all in my whole life until I learned of Ron Paul. He is the first candidate that I have actively supported. From Ron Paul I have been educated on a whole host of issues that I never considered before. I now understand the monetary system much more, the problem of big government interference, the problem of the fed, the problem of the IRS, the problem of intrusion into personal liberties, the problem of why this country is in the mess it is in etc. He is the only one in politics that I know of that is telling the truth and has the answer to solve it all.
I would never even consider voting for anyone else. Why should I when he has exposed it all for what it is and has the solution?
Go Ron Paul! He is the only electible candidate. But the media tries to portray him otherwise because certain ones have a huge amount of money and power that they would lose if he got elected.
If one understands the simple concept that the news is a for profit entity and not beholding to telling the truth to the people then it all starts to make sense why certain information is told us and other information is withheld.
I would like to reverse it all. That is why my name is Reverser.
