Ron Paul Polling In Top Tier In Nevada image

A new poll out of Nevada shows that Ron Paul is holding his status as a top tier candidate with a solid support base that can only grow exponentially with likely successes in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The 8NewsNow/Las Vegas Review-Journal poll has Paul in third place with 12.7 percent of the votes. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney narrowly comes in first with 33.1 percent to Newt Gingrich’s 29.2 percent. All the other candidates polled 5% or less.

The Nevada Caucuses are scheduled for February 4th, meaning the state is the fifth to take to the polls, after Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and South Carolina.

Ron Paul’s campaign has a strong base in Nevada, having established two campaign offices there back in October.

“Dr. Paul’s team will work hard to spread his message of liberty throughout the state,” Ron Paul 2012 Nevada Executive Director Steve Bierfeldt said in a press release at the time.

The media continues to dismiss Paul’s chances even as he is now shown to be leading in Iowa in every recent poll.

The fact that Paul now stands a real chance of winning outright in Iowa has caused establishment pundits and GOP insiders to resort to the desperate attempt to convince the public that the early caucuses and primaries are now meaningless.

To his credit, one mainstream media talking head who has given Paul the time of day is Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto, who told viewers yesterday “I’m not here as a supporter of Ron Paul, but as an opponent of anyone dismissing Ron Paul, or anyone else at this stage. They’re all due a fair hearing, not an unfair clearing.”

Cavuto also highlighted the fact that both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were declared “unelectable” and that “history is full of candidates who couldn’t make it but did.”

Cavuto added, “Now if Ron Paul does surprise, don’t blame it on average voters who didn’t see it coming. Blame it on haughty media pundits who continued dismissing him—even as he did.”

In the face of exponential growing support for Paul, various corporate media outlets, led by arch neocon Bill Kristol’s The Weekly Standard, are once again attempting to resurrect a long debunked and ridiculous racist smear against Paul.

Paul has consistently addressed the issue when asked about it, making it clear that he is and never was associated with newsletters from the early 1990s claiming to be written on his behalf by anonymous and unknown individuals.

When a CNN reporter again asked Paul about the issue yesterday, he provided the same answer. When the reporter pressed him on it over and over again, the Congressman simply ended the interview, making it clear that he had no interest in facilitating those who wish to destroy his campaign through lies and smear.

Instead of highlighting this, CNN chose to run with the childish headline “Ron Paul gets testy during interview”, with Wolf Blitzer doing his best to inflame the non-issue.

Meanwhile, the Ron Paul campaign is continuing its advertising blitz in Iowa and New Hampshire with another new ad spot.

The piece is a 30 second christmas themed monologue from Paul’s son, the Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. The Senator talks of his father’s unfaltering values and sets him apart establishment politicians.

“My father taught me the value of commitment to faith, family and our Constitution.” the Senator states.

“He’s always stayed true to his principles and convictions. He won’t falter, he won’t bend, and he will restore what made America great,” he adds.

“Senator Paul is always there for his father and he will make a great First Son. Through this ad, the senator makes a strong argument for why citizen activists concerned with America’s future are ideal partners with Ron Paul in restoring America to prosperity and its founding principles,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Comment by TommyD on December 23, 2011 at 1:13am: To be honest, I have no faith in the people in this area. I have talked to many people and the answer I get most is that we have to support Israel regardless of anything else....I haven't given up but I have slowed down.

Comment by TommyD on December 23, 2011 at 12:55am: Do it. I admit, I have not been actively involved as I should be.

Comment by Cryptocurrency on December 23, 2011 at 12:50am: The real way to get him elected is to contact your local meetup and hook up with your ward captain. I'm a ward captain for my area, and I am tasked with observing the counting of paper ballots, poll watching the entire day, and organizing all outreach in my ward prior to and on the election day for my state.

If you really want Ron Paul elected, then you need to start phone banking right now. Also, and this is very key, you can submit your paper ballot before election day so that you can volunteer sign waving, phone banking, or providing rides for people to the polls on election day. It's called the "absentee ballot" option, when you submit a paper ballot before election day.

We must call people on election day, and remind them to get off there rears. I should draft a pre election, and election day strategy for 12160 and have james send it out to all 12160 members.

Thoughts?

Comment by TommyD on December 23, 2011 at 12:39am: Exactly!!!

I have been beating away at my mother on Ron Paul but she cannot get the Faux programming out of her head.

She finally made a capitulation, saying that if Ron Paul got the nomination that she would vote for him...I'm like WTF???, you need to vote for him in the primary to so he GETS the nomination. I will be continuing my efforts to win her and several others I know who are on the fence....Christmas day should be really interesting since we are going to her house....I may sneak a Paul2012 bumper sticker on her car when she isn't looking.

Comment by Cryptocurrency on December 23, 2011 at 12:34am: Ron Paul can do it if everyone that says," I like him but he can't win" rushes to the polls and stops buying the corporate media's line of bullshit.

Comment by TommyD on December 22, 2011 at 5:52pm: I can hear it now..if Ron Paul wins Nevada that would mean Romney is leading the pack...(sarcasm for those that missed it).

The more they try and smear the good Doctor, the more popular he gets. The more they ridicule his brilliant message, the more people realize the truth in his words. The more they try and enslave us, the louder the cry for freedom rings out.

Vote For Liberty, Vote For Freedom, Vote For Paul
