_Many of you may have heard Gov. Sarah Palin speaking well of Dr. Paul recently in her capacity as a news contributor. To be honest, I was a little surprised, and I was happy to agree with her statements. (The more mainstream our ideas and causes come the better chances we have of winning future elections.) To paraphrase, Gov. Palin, stated that it would be to the GOP’s detriment to ignore Dr. Paul and his supporters. I do not know whether or not Gov Palin is speaking from her 2008 experience or if she actually likes Dr. Paul’s message, I know she has come close to endorsing his ideas a number of times. It is also interesting to note that her war rhetoric has softened I hope this is due to learning about her son’s deployment experience.

More recently, Gov Palin said that if she was a South Carolinian she would vote for Newt. At first, my reaction was of disgust, but then I started to think about this a little more in depth, Dr. Paul’s chances to win South Carolina are slim, but he could have a very strong showing in the high teens, which would be phenomenal, our little movement has come so far in these few short years. The next best thing for the Paul campaign in South Carolina would in fact be a Newt win. This would split the first three states between three candidates. Santorum, Romney, and Gingrich. Dr. Paul’s actual delegate count would be close to the other candidate’s totals. So breathe easy for now Paulites, Nevada holds real hope. Dig deeper, phone bank more, volunteer if you can (not in uniform), and recruit your parents and grandparents.

Let us know what you think.

_            Update: As recently as Saturday Huntsman had this to say about Romney-

            Courtesy ABC News:

            Reporters asked Huntsman if any of the Republican establishment  had reached out to him and asked him to tone down his criticism of Romney and his work with Bain Capital. Huntsman explained: “Nope. And listen. I have said what I have said. My problem is really a political issue. And that is, when you have a candidate that talks about enjoyment in firing people, talks about pink-slips, who makes a comment that seem to be so detached from the problems that Americans are facing today, that makes you pretty much unelectable. And I say, we want a nominee who can actually go on to win. That’s the issue … the bigger issue is one of electability.”




Jon Huntsman will drop out of the Republican presidential race on Monday, according to a campaign spokesman. A source close to him says Huntsman was "proud of the race that he ran" but "did not want to stand in the way" of Mitt Romney. Huntsman plans to endorse Romney at a press conference Monday in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Wow! Huntsman dropping out, with Rick Perry sure to follow right behind after SC. This is the third rival Mitt Romney may have bought out with promises of appointments in exchange for their endorsements (Tim Pawlenty, Chris Christie, & now Jon Huntsman). The GOP has a very clear decision to make. Either reluctantly retreat from trying to find the alternative to Romney and line up rank and file for the perceived inevitable, or fight back with intestinal fortitude to match. The race is between two very different rivals. Ron Paul and MItt Romney.

Ron Paul needs to rally the anti-Romney vote behind him to combat the seemingly crooked endorsements immediately made by contenders exiting the Republican presidential race.

Is this it? Will the rest of the Rebpublican nominees, except of course Ron Paul, leading to an inevitable Romney nomination?

I hope not and I will do everything in my power to not let that happen.

_Sen. Tom Davis announced his endorsement of Ron Paul at the Pallisades Ballroom in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Palmetto State Senator claims "enough is enough":

    “I’m endorsing Ron Paul because enough is enough. Despite this wave of unprecedented government spending, our unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for the last 34 months and 146.4 million Americans – one out of every two people in this country – are now classified as poor or low-income.”


“Government activism and government intervention clearly hasn’t fixed our economy – which is why the Republican Party needs a nominee who isn’t wedded to that failed approach. We won’t chart a path to fiscal solvency or victory in November by running toward the failed ideas of the left – we will achieve those victories by returning to the principles that the Republican Party once stood for.”

“That is why I am proud to endorse Ron Paul for president.”

“I’m also endorsing him because unlike what the pundits have led you to believe, he is the candidate who gives the Republican Party the best chance to beat Barack Obama in November.”

“We have a choice: We can keep electing candidates who talk about change only during political campaigns as a way to get elected, or we can finally elect a candidate who will walk the walk and make that change a reality – restoring our bottom line, our individual liberties and our national pride in the process.”

Davis commented that his endorsement is about the ideals that Ron Paul stands for.

Ron Paul took to the podium after receiving Davis' endorsement saying to a crowd at the Pallisades Ballroom in Myrtle Beach, "We will do well next Saturday."

Sworn in on January 14, 2009 after winning election in November 2008, Senator Tom Davis is committed to limiting the reach of government and expanding individual liberty, and to promoting economic freedom.

Hello All,

I found this link via Twitter earlier and wanted to share it:

http://www.dailypaul.com/204203/big-announcement-tomorrow

I took the liberty of calling the hotel and sure enough there is a
large Ron Paul event planned for tomorrow night.

The first of two SC Debates will be hosted in Myrtle Beach on
Monday night as well.

For Liberty,
