I am an independent but I plan to vote Republican this time given I am tired already of the Dems agenda. On the other hand I won’t vote for Giuliani.

After going back and reading old press reports, I come away with the feeling the man is a fake. Even more then most politicians he is about the political moment, the media event. He isn’t where we need to go and his stance on illegal immigration does not help him at all.

I can’t believe how inane and flat out stupid many internet commentators are. Somehow you seem to be getting particular abuse from a couple of absolute morons.

You’re always patient, and that’s impressive.

Whoever the Buckwheat character is: quit being a nuisance.

I agree that Giuliani has to win one of the early states or he might get steamrolled by Romney (or who ever wins the early primaries). This site has Paul supporters who think their man has a better shot than Giuliani. Some even think that Paul is winning right now! They underestimate Giuliani’s support and view his unwillingness to participate (and Paul’s victory) in straw polls as proof they have the stronger hand. Giuliani has more support, better name recognition, more money, and better favorable/unfavorables. Is it possible that Paul will win? Yes! Is it likely? No. Will I vote for Paul? Yes!

I think this race comes down to Ron Paul (with continued ads and name recognition producing appearances like the Tonight Show) vs Mitt Romney. I have no doubt Mitt will spend himself further into debt to become President. Huckabee, Thompson, and McCain are going to help Ron Paul by splitting Mitt’s pro-war vote. But, after the early primaries if Romney is doing well, and has a narrow lead over Ron Paul, don’t be surprised to hear that all the pro-war candidates have quit abruptly so Romney can consolidate the pro-war voters by Super Tuesday. Ron Paul’s success hinges on the stubbornness of the other pro-war candidates to hang around. Given the nature of dumb pro-war politicians, I have some faith they will be stubborn enough for Ron Paul to win half of those Super Tuesday states and keep the money coming in long enough to make it very interesting against Romney for the final tally. If it’s very close, don’t be surprised for there to be some fraud or GOP delegate tampering of some sort. Sad, but very likely.

If you read what I wrote, you’d realize I was referring to Giuliani, not Ron Paul.

On what grounds to you call him by that odious slur? Did you think Ron Paul supporters are all so young eyed and uneducated that we’d let it slide and think it was amorous reverence but in fact was guised malevolence??

You sir are the well deserving, moribund bunkum.

I agree. You cannot underestimate someone who has tens of millions of dollars in the bank and high poll ratings.

But it’s the same old story. He’s got to prove he can win if the money and support are going to keep flowing — especially from GOP insiders. If he can’t win at least one of the first three primaries, he at least leaves himself open to a strong challenge leading in to Super Tuesday.

His support is very real as is his war chest. At here in Connecticut he draws large crowds. I disagree with him on the issues but I respect his power as a candidate.

How do you figure? On what Planet? Ralph was never able to draw the crowds of people that the good Dr Paul does! Ron Paul is drawing in people from the left who see that their candidates won’t actually end the war. He is also drawing the Libertarians. Ron has also done something I’ve never seen before…Ron has the young people supporting him and they are actually going to vote in this election! Wow, I find that amazing. They could really shake things up! They are very involved! Who do you think it is that is calling in on these text votes. Who do you think it is that is watching the YouTube Video’s. There are thousands of them and that’s just the ones that are actively participating Now! When the time comes We may all be in for A shock. On the 5th of November they say the going to donate lots of money. I am no Youngster but I’ll be sending in my $100.00 Besides other than Ron both sides are the same. Both will increase the government, continue poking around in other peoples business and generally making a mess of things as they make themselves and their friends/donaters Rich. So spoil away Ron and Good Luck! I believe in Freedom, I believe in Ron Paul!

From what I can tell, you are Giuliani’s lone supporter.

I’ve been saying all along, that Rudy G has no supporters. You have proven me wrong; he has you.
