Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

There is a huge gender gap as men back the Republican Paul 55 - 35 percent while women go with the Democrat Clinton 50 - 40 percent. Independent voters back Paul 48 - 37 percent.

And that's who will decide this next election.
It's a HUGE swell in voters.

Didn't Romney win the independent vote?

I cannot wait to see the establishment take their only chance down

By 5%.
Voter turn out is a huge deal though and the Dems showed up in 2008 and 2012

Very wise to be pro pot, its not an issue to draw a red line with when there are far more important issues facing the country. I can't believe people are still interested in the huckster.

And Colorado went for Obama both elections. Paul with the nomination would win all the typical red states.
He would do we in swing states like this and I think places like Oregon and Wisconsin and Florida would go for him. I doubt he would get Ohio or Michigan cause unions would hate him but he could win other states that more align with libertarian thought

I wouldn't be so sure about Michigan and Ohio. Justin Amash may def. help in the former. He could get Drew Carey to campaign for him in the latter.

2012 was less for the Dems correct?

Yes, but for the GOP as well.
Dems dropped from 33.0% in 2008 to 28.8% in 2012.
GOP dropped from 28.4% in 2008 to 27.2% in 2012.

If Paul loses the GOP primary, it would be like Bama losing to Auburn and Tennessee 10x in a row all at once for me

I don't think there's any chance of you guys losing to Tennessee anytime soon. Now Auburn & LSU...

Why? Lets be positive and hope that he at least gets the nomination. I would encourage independants to change party affiliation to Republican so that we can get him the nomination. Change back afterwards but lets do what needs to be done to get this man in office.

Paul may be the best bet to beat Hillary (assuming she runs) BUT:
You have to run for president for 2 years. That's a long haul that favors experienced politicians.* Unfortunately, elections are more of a contest of who can gaff the least. Paul is a relative newcomber. The straight-talk that you like about him is also likely to get him in trouble. I just think he's going to have a hard time getting out of the primary.
* Preemptive response: Yes, I know Obama's experience as a community organizer.... Hillary led the majority of that campaign so he didn't have to be in the spotlight. Plus he's an outstanding politician and he had the W factor going for him when it came to independents/moderate voters.

He's got momentum.

Is Paul a tea party guy?
