Ron Paul Makes Name For Himself
During Republican Debate

Thursday September 6, 2007
News agencies focused the spotlight on 2008 Presidential candidate
Ron Paul, a rare moment indeed. Paul insisted the war in Iraq
could risk bringing the Republican party down while all other
candidates lashed back during a debate Wednesday evening in New
Hampshire.
"Even if we lose elections, we should not lose our honor,"
shot back former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, "and that is
more important to the Republican Party."
Some would argue that the real losses that matter are the losses
of American lives in Iraq, though the audience applauded Huckabee.
The debate unfolded several days before Gen. David Petraeus is
scheduled to deliver an assessment of President Bush's decision
to commit 30,000 additional combat troops to give the Iraqi government
time to develop.

Sen. John McCain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Giuliani
were among those who stressed their support for the war, at times
even competing to show their commitment.
"The surge is apparently working," said Romney, referring
to the increase in troops.
The 2008 Presidential odds continue to hold firm for all Republican
candidates. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney were both listed with 8 to
1 odds. Rudy Giuliani was still the favorite with 3 to 1 odds.
