TPMtv: '08 Roundup: Episode #7

[neverlookback75]

Instead of "than you can shake a stick at", you should've said "than you can tap a foot at"

[cnldcg8480]

If god still has liberty's back

new hampshire will go to ron paul

Otherwise- I fear we will be up a rather infamous creek and in desperate need of a paddle

[radgeek01]

In retrospect this commentary turned out to be pretty accurate--especially with regard to what happened on the Democratic side in Iowa.

[2Halifaxion2]

all doubters, and ppl who want to know, should google "ron paul and opinion polling lew rockwell"

[Sinistertino]

well if huckabee makes it to the white house i can rest somewhat easier knowing that stephen colbert will be his vice president for what it's worth

[alnewberry]

I actually expect Obama to win the nomination, although I wouldn't have said that 6 months ago.

[MidnightChimes]

Republicans complaining about push polls and voter suppression. All I can say is if you want to be treated better stop hanging around with other Republicans.

[bfayer]

great commentary, keep it coming!

[onemoretuber]

I want to see Ron Paul show up in third so the media is forced to quit blowing him off, and I think it is possible,I really like his message. Edwards will pick up a lot of second choice votes which is too bad, he has a snowballs chance of winning the real election, in the end I see a Clinton/Obama ticket and a Huckabee/Mc Cain ticket and a Mitt Romney depression when it hits him that he spent 20 million dollars of his own money and could not buy the election

[2Halifaxion2]

Paul will dominate the open primary state of new hampshire, and the media will manage to ignore it. They understand the mentality of the ppl watching them; change the subject, they forget.

[TrevorJNoyes]

You say 20% but that's just 20% in Iowa right? John McCain are you serious how can anyone even consider voting for him?? oh ya you elected Bush yikes. Vote Ron Paul for peace and freedom and the man with the highest IQ in the Race.

[PosterAbortion]

This alternative media is viable for an MSNBC spin off show... Knock it off!

[jerjvilano]

"WHAT IF RON PAUL WINS TONIGHT!!!!????"

I guess then we'll have to ground all planes in U.S. airspace to avoid all the flying pigs.

On the other hand, if Ron Paul loses, will all his Tourettes-afflicted supporters slink back into the woodwork?

[JeremyBlueDuck79]

No, they won't. They will blame it on the CFR zionist new world order propagandist conspiring to rob America of the gold standard (naturally). It's pretty easy to never believe you're wrong if you see the world as one big conspiracy against you.

And obviously our muckraking Josh Marshall is in it. It's his anti-blimp bias showing again.

[roullettechick]

You dont realize youre asleep my friend. Unfortunately we are the target for manipulation, call me what you want however I do agree with all the freedoms we want we must also except responsibility. Dont be torn, America. Let us (the people) come together and change for the better.

[occupiedusa]

TPM is Left Gatekeepers!

Viva Ron Paul!

[aschup]

Ummm, I don't understand narrowing the second choice possibilities to a race between Obama and Clinton when several polls have showed Edwards as the clear winner of the second choice vote.

[CHA0SM00SE]

you make great vids

[Apressello]

Brother, I envy you if you actually have a candidate where you find yourself in agreement on all of his policies. In any case, if you want to actually win and govern, you can't be so picky about who wants to join the party. Also, foreign policy is the one thing Paul would be able to implement almost immediately, so it's a legit reason to vote for a candidate.  You'd have a suddenly bipartisan Congress fighting every step of the way on all else (except maybe tax reform).

[chaostherie]

WHAT IF RON PAUL WINS TONIGHT!!!!????

[nothankyoumam]

All hell will freeze over and we'll all live happily in the ever after. But don't quit you job just yet.

[Davidthorough]

My personal scorecard of your Veracifier spots is that you are strongly biased in favor of Democrats. I think you should change the name of your channel. As a principle... Veracity doesn't pick a party. Having said that~ this TPMtv Roundup was great, balanced, informative analysis.

What a fun night... awaiting results from the Orange Bowl AND the Iowa caucus!!!

[leepakim]

Ron probably has to run as an independent with Dennis as his Vice presidential candidate.

[fishhead06]

How do you figure? They have completely opposing ideologies.

[intarwebzz]

barack obama is the manchurian candidate.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

Yeah, I sometimes get that feeling too.

[aminmos]

I think He's mixed up Edwards with Obama!

[robtran]

Dennis Kucinich's announcement means that he really ISN'T qualified to run this country. All questions of experience aside, Obama's political mentor is Joe Lieberman, and his campaign foreign policy adviser is Zbigniew Brzinski. This is not a man looking for a "third way", it's a career politician looking for the ultimate prize.

Shame on Kucinich for not doing his homework.

[mikheii]

rabid liberal for RON PAUL
