More details at Rescue US’s post: NBC Rate The Candidates Paul Surges, Mitt Improved, Rudy and McCain Drop Like Rocks. A couple more good showings like that and hopefully the media will stop ignoring him and move him to the true first tier candidate that he deserves to be. It would be great to see McCain and Giuliani fall to the side while Paul takes over. Ron Paul is a guaranteed win for the Republican’s. Near as I can see, he is the only one who we can say for sure would win the White House for them regardless of who the Dems put up. Congratulations Dr. Paul on the great numbers.
And remember:
