  3. The first link was fantastic. I'm not a huge Ron supporter, but he does understand what's going on, I'll grant him that. If he had a chance at winning the election, I would certainly vote for him.

  4. Well if you did vote for him he'd have a better chance in the primaries. I don't understand peoples logic that they won't vote for someone because they don't believe they can win.

  5. It's not that I don't believe he can win (though I don't). It's because voting for him is a waste - he won't even come in second to last. He'll be plain last. And I'm going to use my vote to influence as best I can. Where it's going to get the most punch.

  6. Ron paul would win an internet election by a landslide. On almost every internet forum I've been to almost everyone supports ron paul.

    Clinton won as sort of a no-name who came from "out of the blue".

    It would be similar if Ron Paul were to win.

    Gawd help us if EITHER a RepubliClown or DemoCrap should become President. RepubliClowns want to "borrow & spend" us into oblivion, DemoCraps want to tax us into socialistic serfdom.... tsk, tsk. (Considering the odds, we should all be donning our tin-foil hats.)

  8. He has joked that they should hold the election on the internet and CSPAN.

  9. At least you'll have time to wait and decide. The campaign is just now starting to spend all that money they've been saving. RP will likely be the BIGGEST FUNDRAISER on the GOP side for Q4. Close to 8mil so far this quarter and should hit 15mil. His mainstream media coverage is increasing rapidly since his 4,2 million dollar day.

  10. Why would he win an internet election?

    If the election was only held on the internet, then everyone who normally voted at a voting office would just go online. If Ron has such a following on the internet, there is nothing from stopping his supporters from going out and voting for him the way elections are now.

    The problem is that when all votes are tallied, the internet support doesn't amount to enough to win the election. This is because the type of people who support Ron are more likely to express themselves using the internet.

    Don't confuse this with him having more voters.
