Now if he can only do that everyday he just might have a shot to win this thing in a fair election.
Do people without an internet connection really vote based on the number of midless television commercials or signs they see in other people's yards? I doubt any amount of money we could raise would buy positve editorial spin in the MSM, we're competing with the big corporations for that segment, which is already biased when it comes to foreign policy anyway.
Ron Paul 2008 Live at Ames
That is so cool! I just saw the "Romney Golfcarts". The comments are cool too! 7:56 johnnywrath: There has never been a candidate like Ron in my 33 years on earth..
They'll be bankrupt soon...
They'll be bankrupt soon... ...and deservedly. Imagine what Romney would do to the taxpayers!
The Huckabee and Tancredo and Gravel crowd need to join forces with the Ron Paul campaign.
There's a nice place to add comments at that cool website. The comments plus the video are fun to watch. Some of us should join the commenting...
Create accounts and pimp 4 while we're at it.
i just tried to create an account and it wouldn't let me.
No doom & gloomers allowed. ;)
I'm just reading the comments, it is impossible to keep up.
http://ronpaulforums.com/ CNN Schneider just admitted that the Ron Paul turnout is very good. They discussed how the internet will have a big impact on this election.
Jeff, the Cameraman just snagged some food for the busy RP people greeting people! Young people can do this sort of thing with immunity because they're so cute. ;)
Both are in yellow shirts.

http://c-span.org/watch/cs_cspan_wm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS Romney has spent enormous amounts of $$ for this event. $200,000 for just one PR guy. He is the most heavily invested for this event.
LOL ! That was great.
This 2nd caller is great! She knows, they just thank her and continue like she had not spoken the TRUTH!
Did you watch the Mittneys attempt to stifle the RP parade? Hilarious !
Missed it! Sounds hilarious. This is good advice though... 9:48 frodo: Remember that Tancredo's supporters will be looking our way if Tancredo leaves the race and he WILL, eventually. We aren't going to attract them to our camp if we call Tancredo names!

Keep posting the links you find on the comments. They are all gems. They are reposting them, and so should we.
this is an awesome video.. so well done..the best I've seen..
http://www.gambling911.com/Ron-Paul-Straw-Poll-081107.html Signs for Ron Paul's 2008 US Presidential campaign lined the streets and highways leading up to Ames, Iowa Saturday morning. State troopers worked diligently to remove the signage. Jennifer Jacobs of the Des Moines Register reports that the loudest support during Saturday's morning portion of the Iowa Straw Polls went to Ron Paul - an 8 to 1 favorite of those appearing at the event. Online gambling websites removed betting on the 2008 US Presidential Elections during the day Saturday citing the important ramifications of the Straw Poll. Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs, according to the Register. At least 10 cars in the parking lot were decorated with giant “Ron Paul” signs. A guy in a minivan broadcasting Paul’s name drove around the Hilton lots honking his horn. Paul will be facing tough competition in Ames from poll front runner, Mitt Romney, and Sam Brownback, who the media expected to come in second as a result of his aggressive campaigning throughout Iowa. Sen. Charles Grassley told the Register today it is a mistake for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain of Arizona to skip the Iowa Republican Party's presidential straw poll in Ames. "I think he should have been in the straw poll," Grassley said about Giuliani as the straw poll got under way around Hilton Coliseum on the Iowa State University campus. Temperatures were expected to get to 95 degrees Saturday afternoon. The candidates were scheduled to begin speaking inside the Coliseum at 12:24 p.m. Voting goes on all day, and the result will be announced at 7 p.m. Central time (8 pm Eastern Time). Gambling911.com>http://size="2">Gambling911.com is bringing you all the latest Iowa Straw Poll news and its impact on 2008 US Presidential odds throughout the day Saturday right here ----
From 200:1, to 15:1 to 8:1 (THE SAME AS ROMNEY). But, RP may well beat Romney today. The campaign will be happy with a strong 2nd place. Romney has invested far more than anyone else, he knows this is crucial for him.
if hes defeated or if there is a strong 2nd place ..he'll know he's in trouble.
Yep. Finally CSPAN gets a BushBot crank call. What a goofball. She's like #10. "The planes that were used like bombs" "Bush is doing the right thing" Followed by a RP supporter from Charlston talking about voter fraud! He said a woman from the Romney campaign is watching over the counting.
puke, why is he there? Refresh if justin freezes.
Newt is telling people to use the internet like he just discovered it.
Newtie! Newtie! Newtie!
Now Newt's talking about the violence and homicide of illegals, like he just discovered it. But when B-1 Bob told him that illegals were electing Loretta Sanchez, Newt would not do a recount.
I remember that.
Newt is a big time hypocrite. I don't know why he is speaking.

Laura Ingraham!??? Well if Newt why not Laura? http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa299/Utah4RonPaul/Car%20Topper/
It was either her, Coulter or Malkin, I guess they picked the one least likely to be a trannie. Explains why Guilliani didn't bother to show up.
You have a point, they don't have much to choose from. Let's all move to Iowa. http://ronpaul.squarespace.com/get-your-ron-paul-bumper-stick/
Were it not for their BRUTAL winters, I would consider relocating to our farm on the Iowa River...but I couldn't handle weather where you have to have a bull-dozer clear your driveway of several feet of snow.
I wasn't meant to be to policeman of the world?
Ron Paul doesn't even want to run your family.
Every candidate has a jelly jar with their respective photo attached. Fair goers over 18 can cast a corn kernel into the jar of the candidate they support. On Friday, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton was leading the field with 624 kernels. The biggest battle was for second place, however. Republican Mitt Romney had 459 kernels - just two more than Democrat John Edwards. Democrat Barack Obama was trailing closely behind with 410 kernels. Another good reason to support Ron Paul. Look at the frightening alternative, Hillary Clinton. BTW, we're supposed to be nice to the Huckabee and Tancredo supporters, to win them over to our side. For the record, Laura Ingraham is a total bitch. (but you knew that - I just needed to post it) "The peace train is leaving" - Try the freedom train.
Now, now, be nice.
Rats! I didn't know you were here Cyni, or I would have at least left out some letters. How about contemptible? Laura Ingraham is contemptible. Do you realize that Ron Paul was the ONLY candidate that she ATTACKED with an old news item, trying to make FUN OF HIM? Then calling his supporters "the peace train" (she's not aware that's a good thing, peace). That was a hit not an introduction. She is low-life pond scum.
ping to my analysis of Laura's hit on ONLY Ron Paul: http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=59079&Disp=146#C146
RP supports should include an F-Laura campaign until the straw poll...
http://www.justin.tv/ronpaul The "peace train" is loud and full of energy still! Listen in.
Thanks this is great!!
The comments are super. I've posted some of the links they posted. Earlier the webcam went everywhere. This website is very cool.
Would also like to say that earlier MSNBC reported a little while ago right before his speech that Ron Paul had more supporters in his tent than any one else that the reporter could see!!!
Earlier I posted that CNN's Bill Schneider had some positive things to say about the Ron Paul presence. Yes, the support is very strong and Romney far outspent any other candidate. I believe it was Jeff Frazee the cameraman for justin.tv who just said he is from Texas (Texas A&M), and is now living in "occupied Virginia".
Bravo!
Duncan Hunter: Iran has increased those centrifuges.
And Duncan Hunter needs more military-industrial complex $$ for his children.
Dear Laura, Why didn't you try to make fun of any of the other candidates and their supporters? Why was your introduction of Ron Paul an attack? But you attacked no other candidate that you introduced. Nor did you make any remarks about any of the other departing supporters. Are you afraid of Ron Paul? Why? Ron Paul wants to restore the rule of law and believes in the Constitution.
Laura must be a Hillary supporter - no other Republican can defeat her except Dr Paul.
Sad but true.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2007/08/ron_pauls_revolution.html Iowa Straw Poll: The Ron Paul Revolution AMES, Iowa -- A fife and drum duo dressed in colonial attire led Rep. Ron Paul's (Texas) chanting supporters into the Hilton Coliseum moments ago. Paul, who last ran for president in 1988 as a Libertarian, has -- without question -- the most vocal backers of any of the candidates actively participating in today's GOP straw poll. He came to the stage to a huge and long-lasting cheer. "Our campaign is all about freedom, prosperity and peace," Paul said by way of introduction. Paul urged that Roe v. Wade be overturned, proposed the elimination of the departments of Energy and Education and argued that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, "could have been prevented if we had had a lot more respect for the Second Amendment." Again and again, Paul received loud applause during his speech, most notably when he spoke of defending the Constitution. "The answers can be found in the return to the rule of law and strict interpretation of the Constitution," he said. The excitement and enthusiasm of Paul's supporters is without question. But does that translate into votes in the straw poll? We shall see.

Ron Paul Gets Award for "Loudest Presence" at Straw Poll
Giuliani and McCain decided for strategic reasons not to actively participate in the closely-watched event in Ames.
"I think anybody who is not in the straw poll made a mistake," said Grassley, the dean of Iowa's congressional delegation.
