Remember Lawrence Lepard? The guy who bought the $85,000 ad for Ron Paul? |

I just heard on Day to Day that he's voting for Obama. Audio for the story will be up in an hour or two on NPR's site: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91692451ETA: Here's a PDF of the ad if that matters: http://www.dailypaul.com/files/common-sense-2-nyt.pdf

1. I wonder if that is going to be representative of the Paulians |
|
The election is still so far off though.
I really think they're going to fall in line.

2. Paul actually thought they might lean more toward Obama than McLame |

But Lew Rockwell (who was a big champion of Paul) said he's not voting for either.
Edited to apply the quote to Paul himself.

6. I've spoken to a couple who are breaking towards Obama, despite usually voting Republican |
|
They hate Bush, for the most part, for spending and for personal liberty infringements, and feel McCain will be more of the same. This is in Texas, where they hate Rick Perry, too. So some I've talked to like Obama, or at least plan to vote for him. That could change, of course, depending on how rhetoric flies in the next few months, and what issues the candidates wind up taking stands on.

...go every which way, and complain the whole time, if personal experience is an indication.

http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=91692451&m=91692434Sorry, the audio doesn't include Lepard. But Paul is thinking about voting Constitutional Party or Libertarian Party. :)

8. Obama will get some Paul supporters, and Barr will get most of the rest |
|
I think most of them will steer clear of McBush. Which is good, since they often vote republican.

10. McCain would be last on Paulians list of preferred candidate |
|
First preferences will head towards obama, barr, nader, then mccain. My 2 cents.
