Ron Paul’s Grassroots
Supporters

Yesterday in Denville, New Jersey about sixty Ron
Paul for President volunteers staged a sign waving rally for about
two hours on Route 53. The event was videotaped by PBS as part
of its presidential campaign coverage
After the rally, about twenty volunteers met for lunch (at Paul’s
Diner on Route 46) and received an update from the New Jersey
petition coordinator and other activists who will try to do the
impossible, deliver New Jersey for Ron Paul on February 5th, Super
Tuesday.
Currently, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani
has a huge lead in the Garden State, leading his GOP rivals by
at least twenty percentage points. For Ron Paul to win the GOP
primary in New Jersey, one of the greatest, if not the greatest,
political upsets of all time must occur in just over 60 days.

Based on what I witnessed at the grassroots meeting, it may happen.
In the parking lot, one of the volunteers drove in with his customized
“Ron Paul” van. What other candidate has supporters
at their own expense customizing vans, automobiles, etc.? Or,
for that matter, pay for a full-page ad in USA Today, as money
manager Lawrence Lepard did last week.
The intensity of Ron Paul’s grassroots supporters is one
of the campaign’s strengths. If the nearly 70,000 members
of Ron Paul meet-up groups “hit the ground” in Iowa,
New Hampshire and the other January and February caucus and primary
states over the next 60 days, then the current polls that has
Rep. Paul trailing in Iowa in single digits, fourth place in New
Hampshire but steadily increasing in the polls, will be proven
wrong.
In addition, a Ron Paul surge in the next sixty days will show
that the pundits who have written off his campaign as a nuisance,
annoying, and quixotic, will be proven wrong once again, especially
since they have anointed Hillary Clinton the Democrat’s
presidential nominee before a single vote has been cast. With
Obama now leading Hillary in Iowa and John Edwards in position
to come in second, a third place finish in Iowa could irreparably
damage her campaign going into New Hampshire, Michigan, and South
Carolina.
Time will tell if American people want to maintain the failed
welfare-warfare state, or if they are ready to change course and
reestablish a free society.
