From Jerome R. Corsi:
Rep. Ron Paul says the surprising $20 million he is projected to raise this quarter in his bid for the White House shows "there's a lot of starvation out there for a different message."
"Our focus on the Constitution, defending our borders and the whole idea of assuming responsibility for themselves appeals to millions of Americans who are not looking for government to take care of them," the Republican presidential candidate told WND in an interview in Iowa.
Paul contended his campaign – a grassroots movement that comes, he argued, from his message, not from mainstream media focus or campaign hype – enjoyed the most dedicated support in either party.
"We have real loyalty from our supporters," he said. "Once a voter commits to our campaign, they don't go back and forth.
"With the other candidates, voters are for this candidate this week and somebody else next week," Paul emphasized. "Our numbers have been steady and growing. Our voters are not going to switch at the last moment."
Paul told WND that he hopes to do better in the Iowa caucuses than his poll numbers would indicate.
"The pollsters haven't realized that my campaign has a lot of independent voters," Paul said. "We have Democratic voters who have crossed over to support my campaign, and those people usually are not measured by pollsters who focus on party identification."
