His taking in all this money and the only thing I've ever seen in MN or CA is ONE BILLBOARD on the 215/10 intersection in San Bernardino. SB is a Democrat city, no way anyone votes for someone with an R next to their name. Ron Paul has jacked everyone's money and ain't doing shit with it. He makes as much in a day as Edwards in a quarter, and Edwards is actually trying, putting out commercials, and Ron Paul is doing jack shit. You guys are paying to his kids student loans.

He never actually asked for the money? This is the time it should start being spent anyway. First you spend only in the first primaries to try and get high early numbers then you spend the money later promoting your position. If he could somehow finish 3rd or above in Hew Hampshire then he'll be in a good position.

If he uses his resources, he could beat Romney, but Huckabee is going to be hard to beat.

In New Hampshire? I didn't think Huckabee was strong there.
And if Huckabee wins the whole thing that 25% sales tax is gonna kill him. Democrats will be convinced it'll hurt the poor to no end and conservatives won't even show up to vote.

I'm thinking the whole thing. Paul is the perfect candidate for NH, as it's the Live Free or Die state, a state that's so conservative, and one that Paul should be the front runner. Whoever is running his campaign is missing out on a lot. Paul could have challenged Romney in NH, but it's too late. NH should have been Paul's coming out party. It is the lack of Paul's presents in NH that has lead me to believe he just jacked everyone's money.

Don't be stupid. He released 2 TV commercials in the past week. Have you seen his appearance on Bill Mayer? Paul draws great bipartisan support. Now personally I think he can run his campaign better, but just because one thinks that way, doesn't make the candidate a con man.

Lemme let everybody in on a lil' secret. Hear how everybody keeps saying that Ron Paul introduces more legislation in Congress than any other member? He has a little game he likes to play...
He comes up with these 'pork barrel' projects for his district in texas, and introduces them into the budget, or as bills, or whatever. Many, Many times asking for money for whatever project he's harping on this week... then the neat little thing he does is, he votes *against* the bill or budget whenever it comes up for vote.
Now, what's the purpose of that? The purpose of that is he gets to have his cake and eat it too. He can tell people he has never voted to raise taxes, he has never voted for a special interest bill, blah blah blah... but yet he's the one who introduced many of them, and they go through anyways with or without his vote. It's really pretty hilarious... and it's kind of morally wrong.
Ron Paul is not the savior. Ron Paul is a libertarian. Libertarians can't win anything... so he runs as a Republican. If he loses this primary, which he will... he won't run as an independent or a libertarian, because he wasn't able to get elected to congress as a libertarian in the first place! That's the only reason he's in the republican primary. This is all much to do about nothing.

Ross Perot had no chance in winning ether but he ran and basicallt gave Clinton the presidency. No Perot in 92 and Bush walks right over Bill. If Obama wins and runs on immediate withdrawal then Paul might run just to take away Republican votes. I'd do it. Then Obama back doors his way in like Clinton did. That's assuming he couldn't beat the dope that already going to get the nod. I think Huckabee's the only one that can beat Obama but only if he drops that fair tax garabage.
