CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds has made it clear: Ron Paul is no longer a fringe candidate for the 2008 US Presidency. His campaign is now tied in third place in Iowa where even his own loyal supporters questioned if he could win there.
And in live-free-or-die New Hampshire, he believes his anti-Iraq war, anti-tax, pro-freedom message with its libertarian tinge may resonate.
"People are flocking to the campaign," says Paul. "Maybe they've been starved for a campaign like this."
Paul's trip to Plymouth was promising: one woman told Reynolds that he was following the next president.
"Absolutely! No doubt," she says.
Last week, Ron Paul's campaign raised over $6 million in a single day. He's raised close to $20 million this quarter.
Paul is listed with 10/1 odds of becoming the next US president at Sportsbook.com He is virtually tied there as well with Mike Huckabee at 9/1 odds and Mitt Romney at 8/1 odds.
Listening to the mainstream news media
daily it is as if there is a new frontrunner among Republicans
every day. Last week, Mike Huckabee was the darling of the press,
this week it's John McCain who is showing signs of life. Yet one
constant is that Ron Paul continues to rake in tons of cash from
his loyal supporters and now even the polls are starting to reflect
his enormous popularity.
