With the advent of the internet,and popularity of Ron Paul, a write-in vote for him could be huge if organized...Past elections have produced a lot of votes for other canditates and this could be a time for the election of president in such a manner. Ron Paul is probably the only canditate that would get votes across party lines because of his stand on many issues. Many democrats would support him because of his stance on Iraq.Republicans and others don't like a lot of the canditates that would be on the ballot.

I agree and would write in Ron Paul if I felt he really had a chance to win with write-ins only.. The problem is... if not enough write-in votes to get him elected, your vote would be one "less" for the candidate that closest resembles Ron Pauls views and the ones who gains are the ones who are exact oposites who wouldn't get your vote under any circumstances. So in short, that would only help the candidate that you are most against because you are now splitting the votes for candidates with simular views to Ron Paul.
and yes I'm a democrate who supports Ron Paul over the democratic candidates this election. My vote is still up for grabs yet.. I have 3 that I am seriously considering. None of which are the so called front runners.

If people would realise that people in the end have the power. then we could get Ron Paul elected.
Unfortunatly people believe what the polititions want them to believe, and the media brainwashes people into thinking that the people have no control.
In the end the people run the country. In the end there are enough people to form a rebellion. In the end there are only a couple 10000 polititions etc, and millions of people.
My point is that Ron Paul can get elected. And if people would just see this, and not get fooled by Bush, and the Clintons, and the media, then he WILL get elected.
They love for us to think there are only 2 partys, because they control both of them.
If everyone who didn't vote, voted for Ron Paul, then he would win. Think about that.

I don't think that even he believes that he is electable in any method. What he is doing and doing well is getting his message out to a lot of people. These worthless politicians see that the message is respected and approved by many and especially by the youth. It will make a difference with or without Ron Paul. Maybe the attention needs to go to Unity08 which is trying to get a third party movement. Sen Paul is a little too far conservative for the middle.

I don't think he could although I am impressed with the passion of the Ron Paul fans. He has some stances that I think some people don't like/understand -- especially of bringing the entire military back home. He isn't a "mainstream" candidate yet so most won't "write him in" because they don't know enough about him.

From what I understand, there is no longer such a thing as a write in. You get a choice out of 2 nearly identical candidates. In this case anti gun pro abortion Giuliani, and anti gun pro abortion Clinton.
I will go vote if I find I can write in, or vote for Ron Paul, otherwise whoever wins, it will be the same schit.

Nope. A 3rd party is a sure way to elect a Dem.

It would take a heck of a lot of organization, considering he would have to win a majority of the states' electoral votes by write-ins in an awful lot of states.

The election will be canceled. The Illuminati are working to crash the economy before next fall, everything is already timed out perfectly so that Bush can call his state of emergency and stay in the oval office. Vote all you want America, it won't matter, George Bush is, and will remain your daddy. This is no conspiracy, this is something the Illuminati has been planning for years, they were successful in crashing the economy in 1929, leading to the depression in the 30's, they know how to get the job done, and they will succeed. Defend your 2nd Amendment America
A small comparison
Hitler, 1933
-Enact "the enabling act"
-Burn Reichstag Building
-Scapegoat the Communists
-Claim it as terrorism
-Scare the public
-Require Dictatorship powers
-Instantly "suspend" rights
-Have OSS spy on citizens
-Arrest dissident citizens
-Force citizens to fulfill agenda
Bush, 2001
-Enact "the patriot act"
-Attack WTC
-Scapegoat terrorist
-Claim it was Saddam
-Start media driven fear campaign
-Require "executive" powers
-Gradually amend the constitution
-Have FBI & CIA spy on citizens
-"Red flag" dissident citizens
-Trick citizens intro fulfilling agenda
Read the news people, even though the Illuminati owns nearly every major news corporation, its all in there, clear as day...just read between the lines

I agree he could get serious support that way but still wouldn't come remotly close to winning even one state. Sorry but I think thats just the way it is.

CNN reports he is up to 8% in the polls, so some of you haters need to update your info.
Secondly, I have voted in 6 national elections and have never seen anyplace that you can write in anything.
