Ron Paul - dropping out? You tell me...releases new video



Do you think he is dropping out? It sure sounds like it w/ the tone of his voice and his body posture. Finally, the rodent can go back and hide in his mole hole in the US chambers of Congress.

Here here. A fine day indeed.

You shouldn't call him a rodent. He honestly represents our country. Give the man some respect

Oh and the "rodent" outlasted Rudy

If it's McCain V. Obama it wouldn't matter who the hell was the third party. It would be a slaughter.

You think Obama would be doing the slaughtering?

The thing is that Obama is an unknown quantity mainly due to his lack of experience. You never know how that my come around to bite him in the ass.

To be really blunt, white people might go along with an experienced black guy, whose rhetoric and policies they agree with. However, the lack of experience could make it a bridge too far. It seems Obama has race and also his middle and last name working against him to some extent.

I didn't say he got more votes ( he mostly likely did though )
I said he outlasted him

I really do.
I mean look where experience got Hillary. Everybody knew Hillary from the start of the race there were no questions about anything with Hillary they either love her or they hate her. (Most of the young people love Obama)
I think when people look at Obama they really look at his personality and thats were he shines.

Well there is something to be said about Obama's failure to get votes in key demographic and geographic areas:

Reagan Democrats (aka lunch bucket Democrats) in Ohio, and soon to be Pennsylvania

Latinos


Those Reagan Democrats could very well go over to McCain. Latinos too, since McCain was a major co-sponser of two "amnesty" bills (at considerable expense to his popularity in his own party). You've also got his independent appeal. McCain is not to be under-estimated. Obama should not be over-estimated. We have seen Obama get fucked by the polls in New Hampshire, Texas, Ohio and RI.

You know all the nitty gritty stuff. ( which is very good ) but I think McCain lacks the energy. he's lost it. The nation is on fire for Obama
