I Love me some Ron Paul..... Can someone say.... MAN CRUSH! LOL.

On a serious note. This outcome would hold a bit more water with the nay-sayers if the poll votes were in the Thousands.

Ron Paul would be the one to get this country pointed back in the right direction.

It'll be interesting to see how the MSM spins another Paul win.

The media does everything they can to ignore Ron...but we are in a whole new information age with social media and forums like this. So Ron can't be shut out like he was before. GO RON!

4 years ago I thought people were nuts voting for this guy...

But Nowadays, I am appalled at the candidates the Republican Party has put forth this term. Ron seems to be the only one I have any interest in or believe can make change or shift thinking. He is the only one that talks straight and is not in it for the politics in my opinion. He understands what needs to be done, that sometimes concessions must be made to move forward in divided houses. Not sure the rest get it.
