Ron Paul is currently riding high in the polls after last night's GOP Presidential debate, jockeying for first position with Mitt Romney and ahead of both Rudy Giuliani and John McCain.
A major MSNBC poll currently has Paul at 30% approval, compared to Romney at 31%. McCain and Giuliani are at 21% and 27% respectively.
Several readers tell us that Paul shot ahead in the early stages of the poll, and this is verified from an MSNBC news clip last night in which Keith Olbermann states Paul has received 39% of the vote.
Fox News claims that John McCain won the debate and that Romney also did well because he is "handsome" and spouted rhetoric about "God and country." Ron Paul is the only real candidate talking about real issues and he is also the only contender who is not completely bought and paid for by Neo-Con warmongers.

this makes me so furious. my first thought was f**k foxnews. john mcCain looked and sounded like an insane maniac...and romney handsome? not in my opinion. he looks like a mannequin...the same way goofy gore looked in his debates.
Sorry, ladies...but this is what KILLS a lot of great candidates...they march out a mannequin like Romney, and the female voters get the vapors. I remember a woman I worked with in Vermont who ADORED Clinton. Didn't know a damn thing about "where he stood on the issues", but was DYING to get him in bed. She was married, too; and when I reminded her of that little fact, her response was "he'll get over it". Wonder if she's still married?
That page is currently showing Paul and Romney both leading at 30%, but with Romney having a negative rating at 35% compared to Paul's 30%. So Paul is now in front, really. In fact Paul has the lowest negative rating of the bunch.
Giuliani is in third at 27%.
McCain is at 21%, dropping 10 points with this debate. Huckabee is at 14%, and the rest are 7-9%.
Remember, the media is corporate and has interests. They will mention those candidates they have given money to and not mention those candidates they have no influence over.
This is an excellent showing for Dr. Paul. Let us hope he continues to rise as the Dark Horse candidate.
