Ron Paul

[LesJ]

I think a Ron Paul Presidency, although a long shot at this point, would be great for online poker. I saw a headline on MSN when I logged on a few minutes ago, directing me to a poll on tonight's Republican Presidential debate. According to these poll results, Paul did well for himself. Did anyone see this?

There is absolutely nothing more reliable in politics today than an insta-poll on MSNBC.

Well. . . I didn't exactly say it was the most reliable indicator, however, I am encouraged that he is even on the radar at this point, presumably by viewers of the actual debate.

Paul stood out on the stage in comparison to the rest of the candidates because in large part he was the only republican to vote against the war. He is uniquely libertarian in his views when compared to the other candidates so he appeals to that segment of the conservatives. All that being said he stands absolutely zero chance of winning. Zero. I'll be voting for him in the primary, but I don't imagine there will be a ground swell for his candidacy. Remember he ran for president as a nominee of the Libertarian party back in '88 i believe. In the nearly 20 years since then he has not really carved out a great national following. IMO there are only currently 3 candidates who could get the nomination (Guliani, McCain, and Romney) and only 1 or 2 others not in the race (Fred Thompson and Hagel) who could even make waves.

McCain is a dead man walking, and I have doubts about Romney's ability to withstand the bright lights. (Dude, Battlefield Earth?) I still think that Huckabee is the darkhorse if Thompson and Hagel abstain. IMO.

www.drudgereport.com (http://www.drudgereport.com) (notoriously conservative) has a poll listing Paul as #3 behind Romney and Giuliani. I have no problem with this. Poll over 79k.

For those of you who are Ron Paul fans (as am I) Fox-TV is denying Ron Paul to be in the South Carolina Presidential Debate. I think he would be the best thing to ever happen to poker. If you do too, then please write or call Fox News and tell them to include Ron Paul in the May 15th debate.

Here is a nice message to send to them:
"As a loyal Fox viewer I ask that you include Ron Paul in the South Carolina Debate. I feel Dr. Ron Paul embodies the true ideals our nation stands for, and his views and plans need to be heard. Please remain the Fair and Ballanced network by including Dr. Ron Paul, otherwise I will find my news elsewhere."

Here is where to send it or call:

Spell-check your e-mail first, though.

My bad. Sorry.

[ChrisV]

Paul's popularity in online polls says more about the libertarian bent of the internet than it does about Paul. My money says Giuliani will win the primary, in which case I hopw whoever the Dems put up can beat that authoritarian [censored].

[Jeffiner99]

I agree about the polls saying a lot about the libertarian bent of the Internet. But so what? Can't us little people win one once in a while? So, we have to fight harder. I sent off an email to everyone on that list today and called Fox news. I won't respond to a chain letter, but this kind of thing has a chance if enough people call in, complain, and send emails.
Come on. We can do it. If we fight for what we want we might get it...
Better than voting for evil.

I'm sorry, but a democracy ensures that the little people never win. We do appreciate your input.
