Romney Campaign Staff have traveled to the 8th & 6th congressional districts to collect enough signatures…

Mitt may be feeling a backlash from Indiana’s typically conservative voters and their reluctance to support a candidate who continues to morph on his values.

Just goes to show exactly how Libertarian the state is. They don't just blindly vote for candidates based on their party affiliation. I was born and raised in New Hampshire, and nothing is more important to the people there than upholding personal freedoms and low or no taxation. NH is one of the top states with the lowest federal burden, if that tells you anything. We need to destroy the nanny state of our government and put Ron Paul in the White House in 2008!!

Screw Iowa!! Screw New Hampshire!! What the frack makes these two states so fracking SPECIAL that they get to pick our presidential candidates every four years? Do the people of Iowa and New Hampshire send more of their sons and daughters off to war than the other 48 states? Do they pay more in taxes than the other 48? Do they cure more diseases, build more houses, grow more food, adopt more orphans? Why shouldn't the first primary of the year be in Nevada? Tennessee? Colorado? Delaware? Montana? Indiana? I defy anyone reading this to give me a good, logical reason for this! We need a lottery system. The "American Plan" is good, but it's too predictable. About 14 months before the elections, we need a random drawing of states to schedule primaries. Then we need to have a serious primary season... at least a good 20-25 states. Not the same four or five that we've had every election cycle since the mid '80s, or longer.

The only experience Clinton has in life, is being ruffshod over by her husband, and being silver spoon fed from life.

Celebrity status isn't going to be enough to win this race, and as his numbers are dying in this state, his support wanes nationally. I doubt I'm the only one who sees him as a cliche politician draining whatever milk is left in his whole 9/11 connection. Romney seems like the guy who would win in the "real world", although he seems like the one who would be soundly beaten by Obama or Clinton. Ron Paul may not be the most accurate representation of the current Republican Party, but that's only because party affiliation has dropped to such a pathetic low because of the war. Like any real, rational conservative, I want him to win. Rudy will certainly not win the nomination.

I can't imagine that there is so much support for McCain. Romney is a little more understandable - they probably like his well-modulated voice - but at this point I just have to hope these polls are completely unrepresentative of voters.

I really think the polls are going to be proven useless this election. I admit I am a true Ron Paul believer, but you can't ignore the gains, the large crowds, and the fundraising. There is something stirring in America and I think most people are really upset with the government as a whole. I think there are going to be major shifts. If this election is going to be all about Iraq and the economy, I see no candidate except Ron Paul who has any intelligent answers. I predict Ron Paul vs Hillary in the general election, with Ron Paul destroying her issue by issue. Stranger things have happened in America. After December 16th it will become painfully apparent to McCain and Huckabee that they will not be able to compete with Ron Paul on a financial level. FYI December 16th is the next big 'money bomb' to go off to celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. (www.teaparty07.com). When we take the previous record breaking day on November 5th and leave that in the dust, the writing will be on the wall, Ron Paul will be 'top tier'. Couple that with the possibility that he may (even though he has never said so) take the matching funds he is entitled too. Being that he is eligible for up to $250 bucks for each individual donor that could be quite a haul, especially considering that most of his donations are small ones, from lots of people. Compare that with the 'top tier' guys who may have big bucks, but those bucks come from a few select influential people. I think Ron Paul should take the matching funds as they are not derived from tax money but are voluntary (that little box you check on your tax retrun). I may be wrong but I think that's where they come from. When this happens, Rudy and Romney will soon find themselves on the defensive with 'real' republicans. Ron Paul will (in my opinion) destroy them issue by issue. Ron Paul will also have a considerable war chest to use to get his message out. He knows the economy, he knows foreign policy, and he has guts. Americans like presidents who have guts and who have no fear about speaking their mind.
