RSS 2.0 FeedCBS/NY Times Poll Puts Ron Paul At 8% In New Hampshire, 4th Place In Iowa
by Doug MataconisThe latest New York Times/CBS News Poll has some good news for the Paul supporters out there.
Meanwhile, John Zogby thinks Paul could pull as much as 18% in New Hampshire in January:
On the Sean Hannity radio program, pollster John Zogby said that Texas Congressman Ron Paul could end up surprising the field – and “embarass a lot of the frontrunners” by wildly exceeding expectations taking 15 to 18 percent in the New Hampshire primary.
An incredulous Hannity asked, “You don’t see any chance he wins this thing, do you?” Zogby said no.
But, you see, when it comes to the early primaries, there are different ways of defining a win. If Ron Paul got as much as 18-20% of the vote in New Hampshire, it would be an even bigger deal than the November 5th money bomb.

Yup. If we happen to win in NH, you’ll probably find me dancing naked in the streets of Nashua, but even a 4th place finish will put a big goofy smile on my face.
All we need to do in New Hampshire is establish credibility, show the people and the pundits that we’re real people and we will turnout. That will further erode the “he can’t win” BS and pave the way for more mainstreamers to hop on board.
Comment by Jeff Molby — November 14, 2007 @ 6:09 amIf Dr. Paul wins the NH primary, we are possibly talking about the most important presidential election since 1856. Check out the description of that election at Wikipedia or some such site and replace the slavery issue with the War in Iraq/Terror, replace the Republican stronghold then in New England and the North with the libertarian strength in the West now. and replace the Whig party with the Republicans and tell me how different the stories really are?
