    I would definitely love to see that you are right on this. I wouldn't have pegged you as a Ron Paul supporter a year ago. I think I have agreed with you more and more as time has gone on though.

    I hope I am right. I know I've stated this before but in my 14 years as a registered voter I have never been this enthusiastic about a candidate. Even though I don't agree with Ron on certain issue, abortion & same sex marriage, I agree with his stance that the final say on this issues is up to the states and it's citizens.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    May 8, 2007

    ARLINGTON, VA: Congressman Ron Paul's support has soared since the first Republican presidential debate. Conservative commentator John McLaughlin, host of "The McLaughlin Group," cited Ron Paul as having given "the best performance of the debate." In fact, the Paul campaign's apparent strength has many other pundits scrambling to explain it. Paul campaign officials offer the following examples of the candidate's rising success.

    Since the debate on May 3, Ron Paul:

    1. Handily won two post-debate polls posted by event sponsor MSNBC.

    2. Placed a close third (18%) in a post-debate poll on the conservative Drudge Report.

    3. Won an ABCNews.com online debate poll with 84%.

    4. Won a C-SPAN online GOP candidate poll with 69%.

    5. Became the third most-mentioned person in the blogosphere, beating out Paris Hilton, according to the reputable Technorati.com.

    6. Produced a YouTube.com video that was ranked the 8th most popular overall video, and the most-viewed political video.

    7. Was featured, by popular demand, on the front of Digg.com.

    8. Generated so many bulletin posts on MySpace.com that the site owner News Corp. blocked all additional posts about Dr. Paul.

    9. Became a "most searched" term on Google and Yahoo!.

    10. Saw a quadrupling of daily visitors to RonPaul2008.com.

    "These figures speak for themselves," said campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "Ron Paul has quickly become a strong contender for the GOP nomination because of his powerful message of freedom and limited government."

    he clearly has the people's ear.

    the only problem is, the media doesn't seem to care. everywhere you look it's hillary, obama, mccain, and guiliani.

    with the overwhelmingly positive response following the debate, the media's lack of attention paid to paul cannot be a mistake. it's another case of the corporate media telling us who to vote for.

    It's only one question in, but Rep. Paul hit the nail on the head. Reagan parallels should go over well.

    Rough delivery though on his first two. Good message but looks a bit shrill. Getting shafted on the # of questions again though.

    Well it is unfortunate that the truth is taboo in politics.

    Paul should gain some interest, if nothing else...glad he challenged Fooliani.

    If anyone is interested, you can participate in the FOX News poll; texting R7 )for Paul) to 36988. If you're voting in favor of another candidate, look up the code yourself.

    I had respect for Paul prior to this debate and after watching his response and how he stuck to his response I have even greater respect for him.

    I disagree with Ron Paul on a good number of things, but you just can't help but like a guy with the guts to say something true in the middle of a political debate. That's something you don't see every day.
