Ron Paul (R) for President 2012

Look at the straw poll participant numbers. The majority of the participants were college students, aged 18-25. It's a fair bet that a slew of Paultards attended and skewed the results, not unlike what they were doing for the online polls during the campaigning.

It was co-sponsored by the John Birch Society, I'm surprised Paul didn't poll even higher.

Actually, I'd have to see a breakdown of religious affiliation to be sure, but the Romney numbers lead me to believe that there may have been a disproportionate number of Mo's taking part in it as well. The LDS church is at least as skilled as the Paultards at skewing numbers.
 
This is extremely bad news for the Republican party. It means they are very deeply divided about the direction of their party. Paul is very much a party outsider, but beloved by Teabaggers. It furthers the possibility of a split prior to the next presidential election, which would of course, hand it to the Democrats.

oh...if the Tea Party phenomenon could indeed produce sizeable support for an independent Ron Paul candidacy in 2012, the election is ours!!!!

Paul/Palin 2012!!!!!

Not exactly. Even ignoring the probable skewing I mention in previous posts, Paul still did not get the votes of confidence from nearly 70% of those taking part in the straw poll. People taking part predictably vote for their favorite, but that doesn't naturally translate to each of those favorites running for president in 2012. On the surface Ron Paul seemed to have this sort of grass-roots momentum in the previous primaries, but his outsider status left him marginalized in real voting. This poll really doesn't stray very far from that.
 
If Ron Paul ran for president, he'd be assassinated, because there are a lot of powerful interests (which would include govenrment officials) who would be badly affected by him.

There will be no split. From Paul to Buchannan they will this time rally behind Romney.

Huey Long and George Wallace are prime examples.
 
Ron Paul couldn't even win the damn New Hampshire GOP primary. if that doesn't tell you something about his chances to become President of the USA, nothing will.
 
I recall listening to Paul for an hour on the Diane Rehm show during the primary season for the previous election. Not impressive. The word I used at the time was "lunatic".
 
Consider the fact that according to some, McCain was already too old to become president in 2008, and that Paul is older than McCain. You would have a sitting president of 81 in 2016. Perhaps someone should start a ThingsYoungerThanRonPaul blog... It shouldn't be too hard to find topics. "Things Younger Than Ron Paul" equals "Nearly Everything".
 
Obama/Palin/Paul?

This is starting to shape up like another Bush/Clinton/Perot threeway.

Sorry for the imagery
 
O/P/P? How can I `splain it? I'll take you frame by frame it.
To have you all jump and shout and sayin' it.
O is for bama, P is for Palin shootin' rifles.
The last P, well, is mostly a trifle.
It's sort of like another way to say Ron Paul's a Libertarian,
fiscal conservative with a dose of the church of Randian.
Though on occasion hangin' with the GOP-ers.
He's mostly considered a whackjob by his peers.
