A vote for Colbert is essentially a vote of no confidence. He may have a shot.

Good publicity for the TV star.

I have never voted for a Republican, but I haven't limited myself to Democrats, either.

I plan to vote in the Republican primary, casting a vote for Ron Paul. In my state, you can vote in either primary...not both...and then for whatever candidates you want at the general election.

I'll be voting Democrat at the election. I don't care which Democrat gets the nomination, as I believe they're all about the same. But I'd like to see Ron Paul have as good of numbers as possible.

Roy

I switched my registration recently from "I" to "R", because my state has closed primaries, and I want to vote for Ron Paul at that time.
If he is eliminated from the race prior to my primary, I will not vote.

None of the other candidates from either party are offering anything except MORE government, MORE war, MORE taxes, MORE invasions of our privacy, MORE government control, MORE security IMHO; basically more of what we've had, of which I've had enough.
One good thing about Ron Paul is that his message seems to be percolating through the unaware, albeit slowly, and there is much resistance from the MSM, which frankly doesn't surprise me a bit.
Perhaps this could signal a sea change in American politics? Probably not but I can hope.
