WN: 'Money bomb': Ron Paul raises $6 million in 24-hour

[faith pleases God]

I wan't someone like Huckabee who is willing to wear his faith(my faith) on his sleeve and put his trust in God.

Yeah- like Bush (no disrespect only humor intended)

Seriously though, I believe that politicians can easily be a wolf in sheeps clothing when it comes to wearing the cross. Keep in mind "believing" wins votes, ask Bush (candidates are aware of this). He professes faith, but I disagree with his politics. And as far as the press goes, Do you realize newspapers endorse canidates? How can they report without bias when they have a bias? I suspect the polls are construed. I was reading the USA today and on 4A, in a sidenote, was the reporting of Ron Paul's record setting day. Also on 4A was a half page article on Hillary and McCain. Both candidates are endorsed by the Des Moines Register. The owner of the register also owns the USA Today (Gannet, Inc.). To gain our perspectives through the eyes of the mainstream media trusting that the reporting is fair and balanced is disillusional and detrimental to our knowledge if we don't understand underlying agendas exist.

Bush has been a disappointment but I still am thankful that Kerry did not win. Bush was the lesser of two evils and thats the ONLY reason he got re-elected. There is nothing that anyone can say that would make me regret my choice. I hadn't even been saved yet when I voted for him. All I saw was Bush roll his sleeves up ready to get to work while Kerry was flying his hairdresser around to give him high dollar hair cuts while badmouthing the U.S. and talking about an immediate withdrawal of the troops from Iraq.

I understand what you mean. But listen to what you're doing; your measuring evil. I agree, I do not like Kerry....or Bush! I voted for Bush twice. Because he's a "christian". I was neoconned. Do you know that Bush and Kerry are both part of the same secret society? They seem different, but I'm not so sure they are. When it comes to evil I don't feel it's wise to judge more or less evil. Evil is evil and should be stood against, not endorsed. I've since realized that it's not just the politicians that are evil but the big government system, both democrat and republican. This is why I'm for Ron Paul.

Until they give us a choice that would prevent both unwanted candidates from being elected we have no choice but to vote for the best candidate, good or bad.

Thats the point. Don't you see, it's "them" giving us the choice. Either/or, but both are "their" canidate. That's why Ron Paul can have a record day and you can barely find reporting on it unless you seek it out. We're in need of a revolution and few realize it.

Ron Paul, I have to say, needs to go take Public Speaking 101. I am not saying anything about his policies or whether or not he'll get my vote, but to be president, he needs to learn to talk more gooder fastly.

[forrestkc]

I have a feeling it will come down to Fred Thompson or Ron Paul. If Fred THompson, the Republicans will lose. If ROn Paul, him and Obama would be one of the most bizzare match-ups that could possibly come out of it.

Ron Paul does not have a chance at winning the nomination. His support is almost entirely among independents, and they don't vote in Republican primaries. Some Republicans like to say they are libertarian, but when you get down to it, they just do so because they think it sounds cool or something. There are probably more libertarian minded Democrats than Republicans. In fact, I would be willing to bet that Ron Paul would be doing better in the polls right now if he were running as a Dem rather than a Republican.

Fred Thompson is a second tier candidate. He peaked before he entered the race. Basically, on the Republican side it will probably be either Huckabee or Romney winning the nomination. There is not a single Republican candidate that the Democrats would rather run against than Romney. He makes Hillary look like a straight talker, and he is so unlikable that even his fellow Republican candidates absolutely despise him. He would lose in a landslide in a general election. Romney is the kind of candidate that looks ok at first, then the more you get to know him the more you don't like him. Now, Huckabee, its really hard to say. He is very likable, and he is a populist, but he can't seem to raise money and he has some very socially conservative views that might hurt him a lot in a general election.

On the Democratic side its probably either going to be Hillary or Obama. Either one of them have the potential to beat any of the Republican candidates in a general election. However, Obama has the potential to just trounce them. He even has some support among conservative leaning independents and moderate Republicans and is already being compared to Bobby Kennedy.

Its still early so a lot could still change.

Ron raises more $ by far, but has no chance? Who do you listen to?

[O'Dannyboy]

I think Ron is going about it the right way. He is building up slowly and not drawing any more attention to himself than occurs by word of mouth or internet. The media seems to be leaving him alone and so do his opponants. For the time being he can sit back and let them slug it out while he bides his time. I like Ron Paul but he will have to come out of the shadows before much longer. I know he can and probably will run independant so the primaries are not likely to affect him much. I think he is doing it right so far.

[MorningGlory]

Ron Paul can raise 100 times that to no avail; he will not get the nomination.

I take it you're not a Ron Paul supporter? 100x $6,000,000= No, not a supporter. I realize you and maybe your friends won't nominate him. But I'm not so sure your canidate matches up, no matter who it is. The polls are bias and mean little. The money matters, even if your canidate doesn't raise much.
