RE: Coffee Bean Poll. Part of me think that Ron Paul might win like 50% of the vote in Iowa. When you take into consideration all of the other factors. Voter turnout so on and so forth… I Mean I’ve read that Iowa only has a 3% turnout for the Republican caucus! Think about that. It makes it much easier to sway with a dedicated group. The other Republican candidates are so extremely weak, I have a hard time imagining anyone being excited about them and actually going out to vote for them. Hopefully Huckabee/Romney people are made complacent by the polls that show them on top.

i’ve been hoping and hoping that ron paul would be heard by the nation. with those huge couple days of fundraising, he’s been able to blast iowans with his message via phone and tv. i saw one guy comment on youtube “i’m sick of being called by ron paul 3-4 times a day!!” it made me excited!

thanks everyone for soothing my worries! RON PAUL 4L!

Coffee Bean Poll

Today CNN had 3 Democrats talking about the coffee been poll which has been accurate in the past. Barrack Obama was beating Hillary. Ron Paul had 2x the amount of beans than the nearest candidate. The CNN anchor was shocked and immediately put the topic back to the Democrats!

Go Ron Paul! A man of real virtue who will never sell out to the highest bidder (unlike all the rest of the field!)

I see a media that is just flat out trying to hide the fact that Ron Paul is going to do very well. IMO even the RP supporters will be surprised.

Ron Paul will come in 2nd. If your numbers are correct I believe Paul will outbeat Huck’s numbers for this reason…many evangelicals & homeschoolers are voting for Paul and not Huckabee. Combine the youth vote and the new voter turnout (those switching parties, indies, and disenfranchised voters) Paul’s actual numbers will be in the low to mid twenties.

I also believe that Paul will place 1st in New Hampshire.

This is going to be HISTORICAL.

I think the key point this reporter hit upon was “turnout.” Several Iowa reporters remarked several weeks ago that “should weather/road conditions be challenging” this could be a shoe-in for Ron Paul given the fact his supporters will suffer whatever conditions to show up and have their vote counted. Sorry Iowa, but Texas is praying for BAD WEATHER if this is the case…LOL!

The last update I got on the NCEL lawsuit, was that the motion to require hand ballots in Iowa was denied. There is no reason the Iowan party officials cannot use the machines again.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Ron Paul. I remember back in 1988, I was in middle school and heard him on an AM talk radio show out of Atlanta (Mike Malloy if you really want to know). He sounded incredible! I was like, “how can this dude not be president?”. Of course that was a naive kid talking back then.
His appearance on Meet The Press was less than stelar. However, Tim Russert beats everyone up, so I don’t hold it against him.
I would love for Ron Paul to get the GOP nomination. However, he will be a footnote at best when it is all said and done.

I would have to say that if Ron Paul doesn’t take this election by storm, it will be a sad truth that people are not doing their homework on their candidates and scrutinizing them based on what issues they address, how, and the reasoning behind them. I also strongly urge people to ignore FOX, since they present a very biased opinion, down to the fact that they have excluded Dr. Paul from some private televised debates coming up on Jan. 6th. If that’s not biased opinion then you tell me what is. Not to mention they always ridicule the man based on what he believes in. That’s unprofessional and creates a false bad representation of a man that actually has the best ideas in the whole election.

A source I have from within the campaign (in Iowa) has told me that the latest internal poll shows Paul in second place with 18%. I dont know what everyone else is at in this poll or who is in first (nor by how much) but that is all I have heard.

I think an 18% 3rd place finish for Paul would be incredible as far as being a “moral victory” and making the media pay attention to him and take him seriously and also as far as getting people in future primaries to consider him as having a real possibility of winning.

All that being said, I hope he more than doubles his support in the polls, I’m hoping for a TRIPLE!

I certainly hope I am not disappointed on the 3rd. Like the above commenter mentioned, I’m concerned about who is COUNTING the votes.

The only way Ron Paul won’t win the WHOLE THING is if our electoral process has been hijacked. As in, it all hinges on who is counting the votes, doesn’t it? If they count the votes at all, Dr. Paul wins this thing, easy. The rest of these clowns are pretenders.
