Notes on a trip to the Super Bowl.
If the presidency were decided by the people posting signs in and around Phoenix during Super Bowl week, Ron Paul would win in a landslide.
Although John McCain will win the Arizona Republican primary, I've seen more signs supporting Paul than I have for McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton combined. Many of them are like the one above, combining Paul's face with the New England Patriots' logo.
So what does all this mean? Does the Super Bowl attract more libertarians than people of other political persuasions? Does the Paul campaign have a strategy of appealing to football fans? I don't know. But the signs are everywhere.

Actually, Ron Paul supporters are just EVERYWHERE... even where you least expect them. Students, business owners, grannies, housewives, nurses, doctors...maybe even your neighbor. :)

Ha! How can you "know" McCain will win the primary? Is the election rigged?
And that poster is great!

That's great!
I was in Punxsutawney this morning for Groundhog Day. I saw a couple of people with Ron Paul signs; one was actually dressed up as a groundhog.

It's becoming more and more apparent that Ron Paul IS the most popular candidate, and that he would win the presidency in a landslide if it weren't for one thing: America is a thoroughly corrupt plaything of the Rockefeller (CFR) Crime Family!

Of course Mccain will win his home state. I know Arizona is a strong Paul state... but it doesn't matter. Get ready for 8 more years of fascism, America. Take your pick, Insane Mccain or Hitlery. I wish I could move to a different planet.

Here in the Bay Area, Ron Paul is the most popular GOP candidate in San Francisco - butyou would never know by the media's lack of publicity.

McCain in one sentence, "Arizona has the most illegal immigrants cross it's border each year." than in the next sentence says, "I know how to secure the border."
Huh??????
Here is a great video of John "no time-line" McCain:

Please vote for Ron Paul. I don't want to leave a legacy of debt for the next generations.

After Super Tuesday we will still have 13 state primaries left to go all the way up to the first Tuesday in June. There will be 612 delegates up for grabs. It is my hope and prayers that Congressman Paul will campaign up until that point. I want to see a brokered convention.
As a last resort The National Constitution Party may nominate Dr. Paul as its 50 state party candidate.
Nevertheless I urge a vote for him. This campaign sends a signal to both parties that a significant number of Americans value their country’s great Constitution, that many conservatives reject wiretaps, waterboarding, and senseless wars. There is far more realism in Paul’s analysis than can be found in those Republicans who believe that Washington’s policy of borrowing billions from China to pay for the occupation of a growing number of countries is desirable, much less sustainable.
Ron Paul has been a breath of fresh air in an otherwise desultory Republican campaign. Long may he run.

Most of America has forgotten how to think for themselves. Ron Paul is the only one who actually speaks the truth. I guess that's why the media doesn't want us to hear him. Check out his website and see what he's all about before you vote. I know who I'm voting for. Ron Paul!!!

Damn Cedric but you're depressing. Have a little more hope, there's plenty of time for things to change. NYT learned how to type R O N P A U L, he's second in Maine, plenty of cash and great endorsements rolling in. I'm baffled at McCain and Hillary's success so far, and it's utterly disheartening to know that Americans are so stupid and easily lead.

Godd question in comments here. Exactly how do you know that McVain is gonna win the AZ primary? Do you have a crystal ball? Or if you repeat a lie long enough it becomes the truth? Disgusting!
ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS: IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN FREE VOTE FOR RON PAUL! PLEASE! At the very least, please look at his website before voting.

I will state the obvious here since nobody else has the nerve:
If it wasn't for the concerted, across the board, complete mainstream media blackout of Ron Paul and the subsequent election fraud, he would be breaking every record ever set by a campaign and YES it would be an OBVIOUS LANDSLIDE.

The media has already decided who we should and should not vote for, so why wouldn't he say "McCain will win the Arizona Republican primary"? The media is scared of letting you hear Ron Paul, so do what many of us are doing. Google Ron Paul, Youtube.com Ron Paul. Listen to him and regardless of who you end up voting for, you make the decision. The reason for the signs is very simple. People are finding ways(No thanks to our corporate media)to hear Ron Paul and can't get enough. Ron Paul for president.

I would like a simple message made by Ron Paul to everyone about himself. I want to share information about Mr. Paul that I can print out on my own printer and give it to some voters who don't use a computer and don't get to see him on the "regular" media TV stations. There are alot of senior citizens who don't know enough about him who would love his message. He needs to address the Social Security issue so that retirees are not afraid of his desire to change thier Social Security annuity.

Mr Smith is speaking truth "Although John McCain will win the Arizona Republican primary, I've seen more signs supporting Paul than I have for McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton combined."
Stating the obvious than Ron Paul IS the REAL people's choice but since the electronic voting machines are and ALWAYS have been pre-programmed to follow the "script" given to you by MSM the Establishement's puppets, Smith doesn't need a crystal ball to predict a win for warmonger/open borders Mccain.
Wake up, all of you naive people. As most of America is watching the Superbowl, our evil leaders are triggering the next world war events. Stop drinking the kool-aid of MSM and get your info from real world news.
