Ron Paul walks the walk. That's why he's so popular and his support is growing by the day. Ron Paul is raising money by the MILLIONS and is on his way to winning the New Hampshire primary. Watch what happens in Manchester the weekend of September 29/30. Any Democrat who wants to vote for Ron Paul in the CT primary on February 5th, 2008, MUST re-register as Republican by November 6th. Everyone else has until January 31st to do so. Dodd gives the Constitution lip service, but does his voting record reflect that?

We wouldn’t need his “leadership” on Iraq if he had done more in the Senate in 2002 and 2003. We wouldn’t need his “leadership” on Habeas Corpus if he had done more not to lose it in the Senate. Where was he on Roberts? Where was he on Alito? I have never seen Dodd come up with even a 1/8th “profile in courage” in the US Senate. The Oval Office is not a place for someone who has never been able to stand up to the bullies of Washington DC.

So why is he doing so miserably? I think national media coverage and the expectations game played by the pundits has a lot to do with it. I also think that a lot of Democrats haven't really made up their minds, and most polls right now only show name recognition.
