What's new

Did Ron Paul Win Iowa, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri?

Does he need to get nominated to have an effect? I say no! If we look at him as the leader of the "Liberty Movement" then that alters the playing field. He has IMO wildly successful if he drops dead 10 seconds from now. Why?

Consider that in 2008 36% of the population knew what the Federal Reserve Bank is. NOW? 78% think it's a good idea to audit the Fed. That's real change. I was just reading the Star-Tribune an a glaring example of the Power of Ron Paul;s message was on the front page of the Business Section. Here's a snippet and link.

The Federal Reserve's transparency campaign swept into Minnesota on Tuesday, as Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota delivered his first-ever media briefing on the state's economy.

Speaking at the headquarters of the Federal Reserve's Ninth District in downtown Minneapolis, Kocherlakota outlined the state's better-than-average progress recovering from the Great Recession and forecast a slow national recovery. He said he expects real national gross domestic product to grow at an annual rate of between 2.5 percent and 3 percent in each of the next two years, slightly faster than the 1.6 percent growth in 2011.

The biggest news from the briefing, however, may be that it occurred at all. Under Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, the once-secretive interest rate-setting body has been airing its views more directly about policy decisions and the direction of the economy -- letting the public and market movers peek behind the curtain in Oz.

Funny how as soon as the "End the Fed" signs started showing up and Dr Paul got around 80+ co-sponsors to his bill to audit the Fed all of a sudden these guys get "Religion" and decide to be more "Open"????

It's also becoming clear that Dr Paul may well have won Maine.



You take the Liberty Movement, Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street and you have a rather large portion of society questioning the current power structure. Much of this is the result of Ron Paul's Candidacy So while winning the whole thing would be nice, He doesn't have to win to move the Liberty movement and take others with him


These long drawn out posts of yours complete with video does not change the fact Ron Paul has yet to win anything.
 
Ron only lost by 194 votes with three counties not counted.

He still lost and even if he had won I would not have called it a crushing victory. Not since the Maine caucus is non-binding and only 2% of republicans in the state bothered to show up.

Perhaps not?

The Maine Republican Party, under fire from Ron Paul supporters for its mishandling of the state’s recent caucuses, is now re-canvassing counties and municipalities to recount vote totals.

POLITICO obtained an email from the State Republican Party asking local chairmen to send them the vote totals from their local straw polls.

Well this will be interesting since one county doesn't meet until Saturday. Ron Paul is very strong in the county caucusing on Saturday. So we may have a new ballgame come Monday. He was trailing by 194 votes so let's wait and see.
 
Like I said, a non-binding caucus in a state where only 2% of republicans bothered to show up.

Those would be similar numbers to most caucus states including the ones that Obama won in 2008 with a group of energized volunteers. The Liberty Movement grows daily and I was surprised to find that is head to head polls against Obama, Paul does as well if not better than other Republicans..

well we get closer every one that's held, so we shall see how it all plays out. The "game" is just beginning. Dr. Paul will get a seat at the table and that in itself is a victory for the Liberty Movement.
