Ron Paul's new tv ad labels him as the "only one," running in Tennesee and Arkansas. He is pushing for how his record of a fiscal conservative is unmatched and he is the taxpayers best friend. Does anyone know who Arlo Guthrie is? I am sure you do, he is the legendary folk singer-songwriter who just endorsed Ron Paul for President saying he is the only man that follows the constitution. Endorsements have been flying in for all candidates and Paul has recieved many of them from prominent people. Also Paul has recieved many endorsements from a wide range of North Dakotans leading up to the Republican caucus on Febuary 5th and he has recieved the most amount of Montana contributers. As well as the American Conservative Magazine endorsed Ron Paul. Quarter four for Ron Paul showed that he recieved more military donations than any other 3 Republican candidates combined. This truly shows that the troops support Ron Paul and his fight against the Iraq war. Paul has received 1160 donations from military donors, nearly triple that of John McCain, and more than McCain, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee combined.
So far this quarter, Paul has raised over $5.2 million and his goal is to raise up to $8.5 million. Paul is good at matching his financial goals and surpassing them. Paul recieved 19% of the vote in the Maine caucus coming in third place behind Romney and McCain, but beating Huckabee. With all of these endorsements and the large amounts of money, can we see a surprise victory for Paul on Super Duper Tuesday?

I think it is doubtful that Ron Paul will achieve a surprise victory on Super Tuesday, based on his current showings in the primaries. However, with his increasing amount of donations and endorsements, Ron Paul has a great chance of winning more votes than Huckabee (in many states), who is no longer in the spotlight. However, ultimately, I think there is minimal hope for Paul receiving the nomination. After the important Super Tuesday primaries, I predict Paul will shortly drop out of the race.
It is interesting that although Paul has received his fair-share of endorsements and an increase support from members of the military, he receives minimal coverage in the mainstream media. While Paul may have a better than originally-anticipated base of supporters on February 5th, will his success combined with that the other Republican candidates--specifically, Romney and Huckabee-- be enough to stop John McCain from emerging as the party's clear nomination.
NO, we will not see a triumphant Ron Paul on Super Tuesday. All these endorsements he is receiving sound terrific, but the truth is he just hasn't received the attention from the media that Mitt Romney and McCain obtain. Furthermore, all his sings and posters that are on the streets have not been affective for he has not won anywhere. I think a better question that we should be asking ourselves is "When is this man going to drop out?"
