After going table to table shaking hands with mostly high school students from Massachusetts –unable to vote in the Granite state - he squeezed through the crush of reporters to the other side of the diner where there were a fair number of New Hampshire voters.
Paul, the Texas congressman, was supposed to sit down and eat breakfast. But he stopped working the room and instead walked out and got in his car after less than 15 minutes of glad handing. As he stood outside, pinned against his car doing a television interview, one angry New Hampshire voter came out to find him. Karen Heller tried unsuccessfully to get close to Paul and ask him to come back in, saying she had brought her 90-year-old mother to meet him. An angry Heller told reporters the Paul campaign promised he would shake everyone's hand, and was quite upset he left so abruptly. Heller, an independent who voted for President Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary four years ago, told CNN afterward she was leaning toward Paul but is now unlikely to vote for him. "If I met him, looked him in the eye and liked him he would have gotten my vote tomorrow and instead I'm turned off," Heller said. Paul seemed quite overwhelmed by the media madness around him - and with the grip and grin generally required of candidates. His aides insist he spent a year shaking hands and meeting voters at diners like this, just without the throngs of reporters and cameras. Heller –a classic New Hampshire voter– said if Paul wants to campaign here he's got to deal with it and work through it "like all the other candidates." Despite the ruckus, several New Hampshire voters at Moe and Joes said they are going to support Paul. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...unds-ron-paul/ |

I noted that everyone was ignoring the fact that Ron Paul supported Mitty on the Bain capital issue. Everyone basically said the other repubs stabbed him (and the repub party) in the back. Last night Piers Morgan interviewed a Paul representative, and he asked why Paul supported Romney. I notice that Piers Morgan seems somewhat enchanted by Ron Paul. Either he really likes him, or he thinks that Paul will help screw up the republican primary and hand Obama a win, not sure.
