And Ron Paul takes the lead in Iowa

Quote from RCG Trader:

The GOP is in deep trouble either way. Their base does not want Romney, the mainline does not want Newt, not do they really want Paul, because they cannot control him.

If they smarten up and take Paul, He takes Obama's youth vote and almost all independents. It's over.

Anyone else will not be able overcome the raw power than an incumbent has.

The dems are running against Mittens. I think that is the best move at this stage for them.

I see Paul's hurdle as that CR act of 1965, that he has publicly said that he would not support. The media, and I mean all of them, will pull this card if Paul gets strong, especially with this furor going on about voter ID cards.

He had better be ready to answer this well. Ron Paul is an honest man, which means he has no friends anywhere in power currently.

No friends at CNN, which is center left, no friends at msnbc, hard left, no friends even at Fox( which actually does surprise me a bit).

So he has a very uphill battle.

Paul does have at least one friend on the Fox Business channel -- Judge Napolitano of Freedom Watch. I'd like to see him on the Supreme Court.
 
Quote from Tsing Tao:

His VP choice will be interesting (assuming it gets that far) since Paul aint no spring chicken.

He's probably in better shape than most of the people on this forum. He rides his bike 20 miles a day. Having said that, I'm hoping for the judge (Andrew Napolitano).
 
Quote from Maverick74:

As for the Paul going 3rd party talk. In my opinion, he needs to win NH to do that. NH is a libertarian state. Maybe the most libertarian in the country. If as a libertarian he cannot win a libertarian state, there really is no way he can justify going 3rd party. The demand has to be there.

With Romney polling at the top in NH I don't see how it can be regarded as a libertarian state. Remember that plenty of people from Massachusetts have moved up there and they take their politics with them.

Absolutely!

That is true, but Napolitano is also good friends with Ralph Nader (you can watch some of their chat on Youtube). They both are against government, albeit in different ways, but they meet in the middle.

My ideal candidate would be two thirds Ron Paul and one third Ralph Nader.
