Prince of Darkness Backs Ron Paul

August 1, 2007 — Ron Chusid

Ron Paul has received recent support not only from lipstick lesbians, but from Bob Novak. Meeting with conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation, Novak said, “He’s a very engaging person… I’d like to see him as president. Can you imagine him at the United Nations?” The relative value of each endorsement to Paul’s chances of success is unclear.

    This race for the GOP Nomination is vastly over. Rudy Giuliani has won. Latest polls have him at 37% way above the pack (next finisher is Fred Thompson with 14%). Very latest polls out of NH and Iowa have Giuliani inching ahead – Giuliani’s supposed weaker states. And he already has NY (obviously), Penn., NJ, Michigan, California and Florida in his back pocket.

    It’s time for all the also-rans to seriously think about dropping out. Thankfully, Jim Gilmore already has. Tancredo has suspended his campaign. Tommy Thompson is on the verge of dropping out.

    Ron Paul should be next, along with Huckabee and Brownback. All those hovering around the 1 to 2% mark in national polls, like Paul, ought to give it up.

    Here we are in August, 6 months after he announced, and Paul is still at 1 to 2% in all national polls. His support is an inch thick and an inch wide.

    This is a race for Giuliani, and to a lesser extent Romney and Fred Thompson. All the others are just wasting our time, and worse weakening us against our real enemy Hillary Clinton for the General Election.

    There’s still a long way to go and neither party’s race is over. As we say in 2004, voters in Iowa and New Hampshire often don’t make up their mind until the last minute. Front runners often collapse, such as Howard Dean and Ed Muskey. This hasn’t been seen as much among Republicans as they usually have a much more obvious front runner. I’m not sure the expected winner in a GOP race has lost since George Romney, but this year is much more competitive than usual for them.

    Any of the top candidates in each party still has a chance. I agree that those polling 1-2% do not. The campaigns started much earlier than ususal, and comparing polling numbers with candidates from previous election years at this time, such as Clinton and Carter, doesn’t apply. Even if one of the top tier candidates should collapse, such as with McCain, there are otheres who remain far above those polling with such low numbers.

    I doubt Ron Paul will drop out. I doubt he really thought he had a chance to win, but is in this to spread his views.
