This article was a pleasant shock to me, but polling shows that a race for president with Ron Paul vs. Barack Obama would be very close.
I support Ron Paul on many issues (taxes, life, limited role of gov’t) yet we part ways on many (drugs, gambling), however, this poll is reflective that Americans definitely want a 180° turn. BO is hands down the coolest of the two, but it looks like the cool factor isn’t carrying him any longer.
Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds Obama with 42% support and Paul with 41% of the vote. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
This poll is evident that Republicans must abandon this misbelief that we can only win back the White House by nominating a moderate. How about DeMint 2012?
