Ron Paul, whats in the cards.

[slim 1,530]

Yep, and that candidate is Mitt.

Chances of winning SC

Mitt: 63%

Paul: 8%

Chances of winning FL

Mitt: 96%

Paul: 0%

Beware of the ocean of reality, slim.

I know you can add.

39 is less than 47. 60 is more than 39. Basically, those numbers are going down and up. In other words, they're not steady.

Ron Paul's numbers, on the other hand, have only improved. Doubled, actually. And as we go forward, many of those flip-floppers who haven't decided who they're going to vote for yet will come over to Ron Paul's camp. The big difference between RP and the others is once folks are in his camp they don't leave. Their mind is made up. They've seen the light!

These are polls on who the GOP thinks will win and not who does win. Romney has to start winning by bigger margins. I personally think he will eventually.

Only one in four of the Paul supporters actually believe that Paul will win. A quarter of the few supports that he has. But you'll see for yourself soon enough. Paul is heading nowhere but into retirement. That's the reality.

So, you're part of the 3/4 majority of Ron Paul supporters.

I disagree because RP has been largely ignored and shunned as "crazy" in the past. Now that he is the number two candidate and will only make up ground as we go, the media will be forced to air his ideas and they'll reach a larger portion of the country. Once that happens, his support will continue to rise and he'll steal votes from Romney and Obama and before you know it, they'll be saying stuff like, "he really could beat Obama."

Once that happens, it's over. Those 3/4 who are going to jump ship will be firmly in the camp of "RP, FTW!"

So, you're part of the 3/4 majority of Ron Paul supporters.

Many people are, for now. But, once the media tells them it's OK to vote for Ron Paul, they will.

You'll hit that ocean of reality hard. I can already see that.

No. I am supporter period but also know that RINO's rule and RP is no RINO.

Whatever the rationale, I can see that unlike slim you've not divorced yourself from reality.

He's young and I like his enthusiasm and he is one of the hope of the future I see. I been dabbling in politics since I was a kid and know the two major parties rule. Just because I like Ron Paul and have been lucky to have had him as my congressman for so many years. I also know the man and family and they are genuine and good people. I hope the best for him and would love for nothing better to see him make a splash and change the platform at the least I even know that is a long shot.

RP has passed exactly ONE (1) piece of legislation his entire congressional tenure. What exactly are you grateful for?

That my Congressman has voted exactly the way I want. About 3 times in all the years I have had him as my Representative I have questioned a vote and got in touch with him. Each time his staff has gotten back to me to explain the reasoning. He has been outstanding in all respects. I know the reason for his lack of legislation as any of us in his district does. I hate he is running as President as he will not be my Congressman again. It is like I have no one to vote for anymore.

The worst thing that this government can do is pass legislation.... We've seen enough of that in the last 30 years.

Paul commands a strong, energetic, highly committed following. And he is unlike any of the other candidates. They’re out to win. He admits he doesn’t see himself in the Oval Office. They’re one-time self-contained enterprises aiming for the White House. Paul is out there to build a movement that will long outlive this campaign.

Paul is 76. He knows he’ll never enter the promised land. But he’s clearing the path for son Rand, his better placed (Senate vs. House), more moderate, more articulate successor.

If no legislation is passed, nothing changes - except for the changes baked into existing legislation. If no legislation is passed, tax rates go up in 2013. Doctors will get paid 25% or so less for treating Medicare and Medicaid patients. Those type of changes.

So your theory is the hundreds of failed pieces of RP's legislation is a positive? Check!

YOu might have had a little more weight behind your comment, had you posted Obamas exhaustive list of legislation..... you know to show the kind of leadership we should be looking for.
