Poll: “Unelectable” Ron Paul Only 2% Behind Obama
In a hypothetical three-way race, the Pew Research Center found that Obama would garner support from 44% of registered voters, Mitt Romney would get 32% support, and the Congressman from Texas would receive 18% of the vote. Paul has repeatedly denied any intention to run on a third-party ticket if he falls short of the GOP nomination. When pressed on why he won’t completely shut the door on a third-party option, Paul has responded by saying he doesn’t like to speak in absolutes.
Some pundits have pointed out the error in assuming that Paul has nothing to lose by running outside the GOP. The biggest factor keeping his eyes on the nomination prize could be a latent sense that if Paul fails to obtain the nomination in Tampa, his son – Kentucky Senator Rand Paul – would have to take up the torch of the growing “liberty movement.” Keeping Paul’s emerging conservative coalitions intact would probably not be possible if Paul-the-elder betrays a chance for GOP victory in November.

Ron Paul has got my vote, and many others around mid amreica. Romney is just another Wall Street crook that bought up companies, borrowed money against them– put it in his pockets an doff shore banks. Then companies folded, all workers lost their jobs, and he walked away with the money. Called *venture capitalism* , should be called vulture capitalism. Many dislike Obama but will vote for him rather than Romney.
Hey everybody knows, or at least most informed people know who are the crooks, sellouts to the system of corruption with the banksters trying to enslave America..the only true Statesman is Ron Paul, and he is OUR Candidate
