I live in Albuquerque and I have seen two bumper stickers and three Ron Paul signs. None for anyone else.
His few supporters are crazy about him.

So could Ron Paul pull an upset if the pro-war candidates split each others votes? Not likely I know.

1. See it here in Tacoma too.
It would be funny if Paul did it. I would love to see Hannity's head explode over this.

2. Same here. They're illegal though.
Most places won't let you put up signs until a certain number of days before the election. The Ron Paul signs are actually considered litter.

3. I live in a relatively conservative small town.
Same thing here. I've seen several Ron Paul bumper stickers and none for anybody else of either party.

Maybe I'm fooling myself but I think underneath the Kool-Aid exterior a large number of Republicans have concluded their party has become fundamentally corrupt.

7. Ron Paul is conservative!
Should he actually win, or influence the governing of the US, all us poor will expire.

Then would the liberals be happy?????

Does it even matter?

8. I grew up in Alb, I go back 3-4 times a year....
Here in Los Altos, CA I have seen 3 'freeway bloggers' putting up huge Ron Paul signs on the I-280 overpass a few blocks away. The signs stayed up for days.

On the 1st day of the Iraq war I put up 2 HUGE canvas signs.... they were taken down by 8:15 am... they were up for 5-6 hours.





PS - 50% of Ron Paul supporters have NO IDEA what he stands for...... I say that due to conversations w/2 of them (my own private poll).

One fully understood (older man, into guns, disliked by most neighbors due to his anti-freeze poisoning of pets via 'water bowls') The other was a younger guy who was kinda on top of world issues and detested the world bank.... once I brought up the eradication of a cabinet position 'Sec of Education' he was freaked out.



Ron Paul is WAAAAAAAAAAY out of mainstream America.

If he is the R nominee he will experience an unprecedented defeat. the corporatists hate him too.
