Submission + - MSNBC Poll: libertarian Ron Paul won GOP Debate
SonicSpike writes: "The libertarian leaning US Congressman Ron Paul finished first in the MSNBC poll following the GOP primary debate held at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. Dr. Paul received 43 percent, beating the second-place finisher by five points, and crushing the rest of the field.
"Americans met Ron Paul and loved what they heard," said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "Dr. Paul's message of freedom and limited government resonates with Republicans hungry for a return to their party's core values. Americans saw that," continued Snyder. "The campaign looks forward to further debates and opportunities so even more Americans will discover Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace and prosperity." Dr. Ron Paul ran for President in 1988 as a member of the Libertarian Party."
