Election 2012

The Rise of Ron Paul

Written by Bob Cesca

Ron Paul has caught Gingrich in New Hampshire.

The poll of polls puts them now only 0.7 percent apart, basically a tie for second. The two most recent polls show Paul edging ahead. In a very independent and libertarian state, where independents can vote in the GOP primary, this could get interesting if Paul gets a boost from Iowa. Against Obama, Paul is now the second strongest candidate in the poll of polls, after Romney.

Maybe the racist newsletters are resonating with Republican voters. I wonder if Romney will claim he published racist newsletters in order to get a bump with the radical libertarian wing of the party.
