OHIO FOR RON PAUL!! :)

"have actually put thought into"
--If 100% of those voting for Paul are smart people, that's great. If there are only a few thousand voting for him, then he doesn't win. Numbers count when counting votes.
"Most people I speak with"
--Again, personal responsibility dictates they turn on their brains & go find the info. Have any of them heard of the internet?
"If you are never exposed"
--Why is it I've been exposed to this info & those you've spoken to haven't? Again, personal responsibility.

From the fact that he draws voters from a broad cross section of the population. Those who vote for him, have actually put thought into why he is a good choice.
A lame excuse, how do you figure. Most people I speak with have no idea who to pick for president and they go to the media to determine who to vote for.
If you are never exposed to a better choice how are you going to make the decision, of picking a Duncan Hunter, or any one else.

"IMO, Paul is the only chance...of winning the general election"
--Polling at 8% nationally (among Republicans alone), how can you substantiate that?
"Hillary, Obama and McCain"
--I believe most voters don't know who any Republicans are, even McCain.
"the media controls who we elect"
--That's merely a lame excuse. Ever hear of 'personal responsibility?' A concept nearly dead thanks to the Liberals.
FYI: There are about 40 people on the ballot for President.

OK, Virginia, you need to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries as well as the straw poll.

They all had verbally dropped out, except possibly gravel, who I am not sure about.
Take the Washington Caucus, this past weekend. I have heard quite a bit about Huckabee, and nothing on Paul. IMO, Paul is the only chance the republicans have of winning the general election.
And yes, most people have no idea who is running for the general election except Hillary, Obama and McCain. Yes it will have an impact, it is unfortunate the media controls who we elect.

"The omission from the AP voters guide implies that he was not a candidate"
--Also, if you haven't noticed the amount of coverage the Republican race is only an extremely small fraction of the coverage of the Dems race. I watch a lot of news, different sources. Only FNC gives equal time to both races.
The average person on the street, I bet, has NO IDEA whatsoever who's running in the Republican race. Tell me that's not going to impact the general election...

"The omission from the AP voters guide implies that he was not a candidate"
--Again....those are the top 3 candidates AND it was more of a headline piece than a comprehensive section. And again, where's Thompson, Hunter, etc.? And on the Dem side, where's Gravel, Kucinich, Edwards? I don't mean to defend the AP, its just the way things are.

"if the media would actually cover him as they do the others"
--They gave him as much coverage as he was news-worthy. Polling at his level, they also gave little coverage to Tancredo & Hunter.
"showed him as either not a candidate, or a crackpot."
--Please provide a link to a story where they referred to him as not a candidate for the Party's nomination.
This comment has received too many negative votes show
"He brought people in here. What is more critical to look at is who finished second and third. That is a more true indicator of the feelings of the Republican Party of Virginia," said Tucker Watkins of Randolph in Charlotte County, a former 5th District GOP chairman

i was there (obviously) and it was clear that the ron paul supporters came by their own free will from all over the state, even as far as william and mary. if Tucker Watkins even said that, it was out of bitterness not truth.

There was a bus load folks: for Huckabee. 51 votes, many from Liberty University. I was there and I talked to about half the Paul supporters from all over the state. The Party doesn't get it. This is about ideology not strategy. Strategy and the disregard for core ideals is killing the party. Ron Paul will save the party and America. God Bless Ron Paul.
