without a cell phone to send a text message I was unable to vote on who I thought was the winner. So here is my vote, I like John McCain, he is strong and means business in helping the people. John was the only one to receive a standing ovation from the people there.

Ron Paul is a neo-hippy, and the Republican party sees right through him. Ron Paul had the honor of getting booed multiple times for his wing nut positions. I predict Ron Paul will fail to win the GOP nomination and will have tremendous pressure to run as a 3rd party candidate, which he will do. He won't win the general election, but he will hand it to someone.

I am wondering now, for what reason does msnbc not mention Ron Paul at allin this article, even though he is the only one representing a stark contract to the other candidates on issues of the war in Iraq, taxes, and the way to address social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Not to mention that he has raised plenty of money. I can only believe it is intentional censorship.

"Ron Paul is a neo-hippy, and the Republican party sees right through him. Ron Paul had the honor of getting booed multiple times for his wing nut positions." --Eric, Seattle Wash (Sent Sunday, October 21, 2007 11:30 PM)

Give me a break. His position on the war is in line with over 75% of the American people. Not very "wing-nut" if you ask me. On every other issue, he's the strongest and most consistent Goldwater/Reagan conservative. He was only booed because he was in front of a Republican primary crowd at a Fox News event, which is as "hawkish" (I'd say blindly pro-government in the name of being pro-America is a better description) as you can get.

He wins these text polls precisely because they're NOT limited to GOP primary voters, and the third of the party that is anti-war, many Democrats, independents, and even people who can't vote like his non-interventionist foreign policy message. And just for the record, you CANNOT vote multiple times. I finally tested it tonight, and only because I was tired of Sean Hannity repeating the same tired claim.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will uphold the constitution. He is a republican like Robert Taft a real conservative. Those who vote for Paul are not wasting their vote.You should always vote for your principles not who the media says is electable. If paul runs independent,he wont the dems and repubs make the rules to keep him off the ballots and keep people from switching parties in primaries,he wont be handing anyone a victory or loss.Paul voters cannot be put into either of the 2 party camps.I wouldnt vote for a dem or Rep at all. If the const party candidate had more visibility Id vote for her.

I loved the pre and post debate comments about Ron Paul. The guy who called him crazy was right on. Then they polled the focus group at the end and asked if any of them were impressed by Ron Paul, no one raised their hand and one person laughed. My roomates were getting a kick out of his answers and one made the comment, "how did this crazy truck driver get on stage". I hope that loon dosn't run on a third party ticket and hand the white house to hilldawg.

Half the time Ron Paul is in la-la land when it comes to the major issues. I want to know why he keeps harping that we shouldn't be "nation building" when that's what we did with Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Germany, Poland, Italy and more recently, the Czech Republic, and several other nations that fell out of the Soviet's sphere of incluence. Our own US of A was assisted in it's "nation building" phase by France, and it's a good thing too, for along came Great Britain in a subsequent war and if the US hadn't had that help from France, it would have been disastrous to the new Union. So I don't know why Ron Paul suddenly has disavowed this concept, thinking we should only be influential in the commercial area as we export Kentucky Fried Chicken worldwide. That policy would drive all our allies into the ravenous maw of our enemies, so his is an untenable approach in a very aggressive world. Vote Ron Paul? Only if you completely ignore the facts.

Nice Chuck Todd - this shows exactly the problem with America, people like you more interested in saturating their lives with yet more entertainment, instead of focusing on the important - and this is why your Democratic party is controlled heavily by the left and is pointed 20 degrees nose down.

Romney would be the clear candidate of the Republicans if he wasn't a Mormon.

It is time for the religious bigots to elect the best candidate and quit trying to elect a religion. Last time I checked Mormons were even more conservative then Born Again Christians so what is their beef?

Isn't the name of the Mormon Church, The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. Oh I see they do not believe in Jesus Christ...well it is in their name. The Mormons are way more conservative then the Catholics and the Methodists these days and I don't see anyone putting them down or saying they are not Christians.

Yeah, this gets so tired. C'mon at least mention where Paul won the cell poll hands down [again] and Hannity railed against it [again] . . . you might even comment on how FOX tried to portray Ron as "Colmes candidate" lol. Hannity practically refused to share the same airspace with the man. Heck you could even actually mention one or two of his debate responses like the one where he deftly pointed out the difference between him and Clinton [Hillary is *for* indefinite engagements in the Middle East and the unhelpful assaults on our civil liberties and voted accordingly just for starters whereas Paul is the polar opposite on these and *most* other issues]. Paul is the only candidate from either major party to clearly understand and articulate these and many other traditionally conservative positions.

Maybe Im reading too much into this, but from the post debate interview it sounded like Ron Paul may be open to running in a third party, as the candidate of the Unity Party. Im basing that on him suggesting that he would endorse a third party, but that he wouldnt endorse the republican, and the fact that he's sort of an ousider in his own party... I dunno, Im reading alot into that little comment he made, but its seems very possible.

Reading all the e-mails in this post shows me that the elephant is losing badly with it's own voters. If the candidates are spending so much time trying to prove who has the credentials, they are wasting valuable time bringing independant voters into the fold. This will be a rout unless they start talking about what they would do as president. "Hey Vote for me, I have the biggest flag tattoo on my butt." What we are seeing is a major realignment of the party, maybe that will be the most positive thing coming out of this election.

If elected I promise to.

1. take our troops out of iraq immedatly, redeploy them in afganastan and pakistan, to catch the real terrorists.

2. Make a formal apology to the american and iraqi people, and put laws in place to make sure this don't happen again.

3. To tackle the real issues that have put us and our planet on the endangered list, namely national security, it seems that some groups exist within national security that have had no oversight by our elected officals in 50 some odd years, it seems they have hyjacked our future by suppressing technologies that coud have done away with gas and eletric companys many years ago (overunity and water technologies), I will bring these and many more wonderful technologies (anti-gravity),out in the open, they belong to the taxpayers, and put laws in place to make sure it don't happen again, and again apologize to the people.

4. Sit down with congress and draw up laws to mandate that every car that comes off the assembly line or into this country be running off water or overunity within the next 4 years, and every other automobil be fitted with these within the next 8 , or they will not be on our roads, and I do mean our roads, the sale of our roads will stop immedatly, you will not be paying tolls on roads that you paid for.

5. We will do away with the federal reserve, and return to the gold standard.

6. Since we are elected by the people for the people, we will immedatly put laws in place to stop all campain contrabutions and perks by any and all companys private and commercial, only people will be allowed to donate to the candadates.

7.to restore the truth in our government, by revealing the truth about aliens, be it good or bad, you have the right to know..and there are many other things that need done also...

so are you ready to change the world?

Huckabee isn't wining anything. Do we need to talk about his fundraising? The guy is broke and won't make it much longer! There is no way a pro-war person - like Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee - will EVER win a bid for President! If Ron Paul doesn't win the GOP nod the Republicans lose to the dem voters! I, along with many others, will NEVER vote for nation builders or warmongers!

You warmongering neo-con's can speak bad about Ron Paul all you want, he's still doing very well in fundraising and everyday receives new supporters. We will make this happen without mainstream media! Just watch us!

BTW- I was disguisted watching the Fox debate. It was so obvious that they planted anti-Ron Paul people in the audience. Many Americans see right though that blatent attempt to silence the Ron Paul movement.

When Ron Paul states his Anti-War position - something 70% of Americans agree with - and you hear boo's you know it's a Fox event you're watching!
