----Can someone answer this for me--If Ron Paul gets in the race----

[1corona4u]

who's voters does he skim? Will this take voters away from Obama? I don't know that much about his policies, so I am curious what effect, if any it would have on Obama.

1. If it were a bumber sticker/yard sign war he would win

2. What?

I don't understand your post...

8. let me try again:

if we decided the presidency based upon how many bumper stickers and/or yard signs candidates had circulated, from what I have seen, Ron Paul would win

13. I'm in a progressive pocket of a generally red state - Colorado -

a state that is in play this election. :)

I have seen 1 McCain bumper sticker/yard sign & 4 Paul bumper sticker/yard signs.

I have seen many, many Obama bumper stickers/yard signs!

I waited until I could get a bumper sticker/yard sign with BIDEN on it.

I now have both proudly displayed!!

"I now have both proudly displayed!!"

'Both' being Obama/Biden.

14. I don't ever see them here.....

really....

3. McCain's

Paultards were almost exclusively Republicans before.

Libertarian is Geek Chick for trying to be impressive without intelligent. As a geek I can testify to their inferiority complexes.

4. I think he would skim the most from McNuts. The ONLY position

he has that appeals to Dems or Indies that differes from Obama is that he really believes in American isolationism. His stance on abortion, capitalism etc. are like McNuts.

5. Both Paul and Barr will pull votes mainly from McCain/Palin. It was just

announced yesterday that Ron Paul is being placed on the Montana ballot as the Constitution Party candidate.

Polling in Montana show the race close and this should help Obama.

FYI...Daddy Bush lost Montana to Clinton largely due to the Ross Perot vote.

6. I know which voters.

He would get a lot of economist voters, independent voters will really go his way, and of course a nice chunk of the Republican voters, maybe a few Democrats who collect gold and silver. I should know, I'm into that area. So I know his constituents very well, they are all pushing for him and will sign in his name even if he's not on the ballot.

He's getting a bit from every camp but a lot of Independent Conservatives and Republicans.

7. Interesting...thanks for the info all....

9. Definitely McSame

The 3 Repugs I know all voted for RP in the primaries. They are all disgusted with *Bush.

[Vinca]

10. He'll definitely take some McBush voters away.

Maybe he could find himself a former beauty queen/big game hunter as a running mate to grab those elusive "white, female voters."

12. Ron Paul is making "an endorsement" tomorrow that, according to his

campaign aides, "will have a tremendous effect on the Fall campaign"...or something like that.

Think he will back Obama? or Nader (God, I hope not)

[vaberella]

15. This is a good question. He will NOT vote Nader.

Anyone who knows anything about the Green Party and where they are will not vote for Nader or even "endorse" the guy. It would be interesting to see if it is Obama or McCain. I get the feeling he might endorse Obama..actually I would hope he'd vote Obama. But I can't be sure.

16. It sounds to me that,.........

judging from the articles, Ron Paul is just going to endorse the 4 third party candidates in general, encouraging his supporters to vote third party instead of McCain or Obama.

Good news, since he belongs to the Republican party.
