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!

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!

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.

Ron Paul for President Late to the party...I've been out of town all day. Friends...did you ever consider that Laura's livelihood may DEPEND on Hillary Clinton being elected? Can you imagine the ratings on right-wing radio if Hillary is elected? Sean, Rush, Laura, Savage...they would LOVE to have Hillary in the White House...huge ratings. I don't think they want a Republican nominee that could actually DEFEAT Hillary. Think about it.
Fox news shot right now has nothing but Ron Paul signs EVERYWHERE!!!!
They're going crazy!
What an amazing thing to watch!!!
11 Aug 2007 08:25 pm AMES -- The announcement of tonight's straw poll results has been delayed due to what one informed source says was a voting machine malfunction. About 4,500 ballots had to be re-run. We are waiting.... http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/08/straw_poll_results_delayed_due.php
Gee didn't see that coming!
Cameron just said it could be due to the humidity!
Right, that must be it.
and buildings fall down by fire every day
http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-ames-straw-poll.html Ron Paul SIgns Removed by Police at the Ames Straw Poll Supporters arrive at Ames straw poll JENNIFER JACOBS REGISTER STAFF WRITER August 11, 2007 Traffic was rolling smoothly at 8:45 a.m. on the roads in to Ames and Hilton Coliseum. There were no traffic jams. At 9 a.m., the candidate with the loudest presence was Ron Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas. Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs. 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. Yard signs, mostly for Paul, lined the highway interchange on Interstate Highway 35 at Ames, but a law enforcement officer in a squad car was yanking out the signs just before 9 a.m. Posted: Des Moines Register
What that doesn't make clear is if they just pulled the Ron Paul signs or ALL the signs?
one minute to results
http://www.iowaindependent.com/tag.do?tag=ames%20straw%20poll
Ron Paul is 5th place. Tancredo 4th Brownbeck 3rd Huckabee 2nd Romney 1st
Sorry I dont buy it.. what was it that dolt said about the results .. something about honest or what was it? I dont buy that Ron Paul came in behind Tancredo that is very very suspicious.. 14,302 ballots cast 11th place: John Cox (41 votes)
Smells
Especially when it was delayed.. voting machine issues?.. Im cynical ..
I cannot buy Romney getting that many votes in comparison to others, just does not fit the equation.
agreed.. but the amt of $ he put into Iowa.. still doesnt change his msg does it?
Considering he didn't buy votes...he didn't spend the money there that others did too....HIS message is what gets people NOT the money!!!!!
And Ron Paul said he is staying on message. He doesn't pander.
I was absolutely blown away by the enthusaiasm of Dr. Paul's supporters...wait until they get organized on college campuses as classes kick in about a month from now...the younger generation is the real 'X factor' in the next election.
I agree. They've had that energy all day! They are the future, it's looking better.
Perhaps we should send Paul a few bucks and a note of encouragement?
Absolutely The Romney crowd won't admit how many tickets they bought.
I had in mind, from 4um posters with note of encouragement.
Nice idea, a group action.
Politicians always like the support of any group, large or small. Looks good on the tally sheet.
After today, watching/listening to the campaign through Jeff's camera, I feel much closer to the whole process. These are decent, devoted young people. Most of them are young.
someone said somewhere that they couldn't believe that people 30 and younger were actually voting and backing an over 70 year old man!!!! Hey some of us know how to show respect and some of us do!!! Not all of us are vidiets!!!!!
Good for you! Yes, it is respect. And for someone who deserves it.
I can honestly say this is the first candidate that has come along in the entire time my generation has been old enough to vote that has been worth even giving a second look to! Someone once told me that 9/11 was our generations Vietnam, I wouldn't go that far, but I would say that it was our wake up call!!!
He's the best that's come along since I was old enough to vote, and I'm an old fart...
I voted for Ike, Nixon, Goldwater, Nixon, Carter(yes, I did) , Reagan, Perot...After that I refuse to say.

I voted Reagan, Reagan, Bush I, Perot, Phillips, Phillips...

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.
