Polling already has Paul neck-in-neck with Obama.

Yes the Rasmussen poll. I saw it. Now how many of those 42% actually knew who Ron Paul was and what his positions on the issues are? Very, very few, I would imagine. If anything the poll just shows that 42% of people are willing to vote for generic Republican over Obama. I wouldn't be surprised if the poll had the exact same results if Ron Paul was replaced with "John Smith".

This is a link to a Gallup poll conducted in February that had a generic Republican receiving 42% of the vote.

Oh yeah the establishment status quo. I just love that. The secret American establishment meeting was earlier today and it was great. We talked about going to Ivy League Schools and controlling the Financial System. Also had a nice French Bordeaux and some Camembert, to highlight our anti-American, pro-European ways.

Colin don't try arguing Paul with Libertas.  He thinks all America needs is Paul to become raving libertarians and that Paul could gain a 400 EV victory against Obama without trying.

I'm a 20 year old college student and I am proudly not riding the Ron Paul bandwagon, although a lot of my friends are. Libertas, you seem to think that the American people would just LOVE to vote for a man who wants to privatize and legalize almost everything. You're delusions harken back to when the Democrats thought America wanted a non interventionist almost hippie liberal like McGovern in 1972. Richard Nixon is the only Republican my father ever voted for because of that election. The main difference between McGovern and Paul, however,  is that even most Republicans don't want to see him in the White House. Ron Paul can try to move to the center, but his current stances speak for themselves.

Most Republicans and more importantly, most Independents want to see Paul in the White House.

Paul's positions are the change this country needs.

I see you have a legacy of preferring crooks though, and opposing decent men like George McGovern and Ron Paul.

Most indepedents don't know who he is.

The most recent showed Paul beating Obama among independents 47-28.
